The hotel is situated on Commonwealth Avenue in a convenient location for exploring Northeastern University and the city. The rooms are good sized, clean, and comfortable, although not as cozy as expected. The service from valet to cleaning personnel is exceptional, with staff going above and beyond to assist when needed. The dining options are fresh and delicious, but the amenity fee seems excessive for what is offered.

I chose Hotel Commonwealth primarily for its spacious and well-equipped rooms which were serviced every other day. While the rooms were very nice, I wouldn't classify them as 'Bucket List' worthy. The service throughout my stay was absolutely pleasant, with staff as friendly and helpful as it gets, making me feel very welcome. The location, although near Fenway Park, was a bit challenging to get to other places. The dining experience had its ups and downs but was overall enjoyable, with some excellent options worth the extra cost. The facilities met my expectations, adding to a comfortable stay.

My stay at this hotel was amazing! The rooms were great, comfortable, and had a beautiful view that truly encapsulated the essence of the city. The service was top-notch, from the doormen to the reception desk, always helpful and friendly. The location was excellent, especially for Fenway Park enthusiasts, though a bit far from some sightseeing spots. The dining experience was pleasing but limited, and I wish there were more options. The facilities were impressive, making my stay even more enjoyable.

The hotel is perfectly located in Kenmore Square steps away from great shops, restaurants, and the iconic Fenway Park, making it an ideal spot to catch a game or explore Boston. The rooms are spacious but fell short on the promised two queen beds for a shared stay, while the daily resort fee seemed a bit steep for amenities like water bottles and Wi-Fi. The service was exceptional with friendly and helpful staff, although some small hiccups in housekeeping were noted. The dining experience offered complimentary coffee and pastries, but the quality was inconsistent. Overall, despite some minor drawbacks, the prime location and attentive service made for a memorable stay.
