A nice hotel in an amazing city
Pros:

The hotel is in a great location for traveling on the TLine. Our room was very spacious with comfortable beds although the room itself was a bit dated and in need of refurbishment. Overall the hotel was pleasant enough with friendly staff. However Boston itself is a fantastic city and being there during the World Cup it was a fantastic atmosphere and an amazing experience.

This was our 2nd stay. It’s not often that a second stay exceeds an amazing 1stay, but it did!
Pros:

We felt welcomed & a bit spoiled by the staff! From the doorman to the front desk reception a staff member provided us with first class attention & kindness. Everyone is well trained & put forth only their best self during our stay.

Cons:

No complaints.

Always an Outstanding Stay
Pros:

It is not my first visit to Hotel Commonwealth. From the moment I arrived and until I departed staying at Hotel Commonwealth was a delight. I was warmly greeted by Steve when I pulled in to valet my car. Jeff at the front desk got me into a beautiful room even though I arrived before check in time. The room was clean and spacious. The entire staff is welcoming and friendly. The hotel location is in a great location to walk to Fenway, Prudential Center, shopping and restaurants. Jeff at the door always remembers me by name.
I did not get to see Nicky this time but he assisted me on the phone the day before my arrival and always goes above and beyond to make sure my stay is perfect.

Perfect location for Red Sox games
Pros:

Perfect location for Red Sox games! Hotel staff is super friendly, rooms are comfortable and you are steps away from Fenway. Also you are walking distance from great shopping at Newbury St. and next to the train station if you want to venture out further. We really enjoyed dining at Row 34 which is on the property. The hotel also has filtered still and sparkling water for guests.

This is our 4th or 5th stay, and we plan to continue to stay here in the summer. So convenient for baseball and as home base to explore Boston.

Great service from staff
Pros:

Perfect stay close to Fenway field park to watch the game. We enjoyed the pleasant welcome from staff. We selected the king size bed for the night., but was offered the two queen size bed if available upon arrival since staff noticed we had our child with us. Pleasant amenities and good atmosphere to spend time drinking coffees during the morning hours. Our room was very clean and great for the value. One issue with the AC /or refrigerator making loud sound during the night which effected our sleep. But overall, would return next time to watch another game. I highly recommend this hotel to family and friends also traveling from long distances to watch a game at Fenway.

Wonderful stsy at Hotel Commonwealth!
Pros:

We had an amazing stay at Hotel Cimmonwealth! The location was perfect, the rooms well equipped and comfortable, everything was sparkling clean and the service from everyone was exceptional. Shout out to “Nicky Mack” at the front desk-he was so friendly and helpful and really made our stay memorable! Housekeeping kept our room spotless and the doormen and valet attendants were courteous and lightning fast.
