This was our last stay in a hotel during a three week's tour through New England, before returning to Europe. And I must be honest it was the most unpleasant experience of all places we stayed in. Is this because all the others excell and this hotel does not? Our complain was that the front desk did not agree with... more

My wife and I just returned from a 3-night stay at the Commonwealth, and it was a great experience. As other reviewers have stated, the staff at this hotel are all extremely polite and helpful. The concierge was rarely at his station when we walked by, but the front desk staff were always available to answer any questions we had.... more

Chose the HC because of previous reviews and proximity to Fenway Park. Requested "high floor, Fenway Park view" and got exactly that on the 4th floor. Front desk check-in folks were a little pretentious as most folks staying there were "baseball fans" and not high powered business folks, but maybe thats the "Boston" way. The Mass.

At the Hotel Commonwealth, that prescription is filled perfectly. Since Fenway Park is... more

My kids and recently stayed here for 3 nights as we were immersing ourselves in three Red Sox games over spring vacation. We arrived on a Tuesday and departed Friday. This is a wonderful hotel with a boutique feel that is right around the corner from Fenway Park. Our room looked out at the back of the park and the... more

I've stayed many places in Boston (Westin,... more
