"Excellent Service"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 5, 2012
The staff were super helpful and friendly. Service was impeccable. The room was a little small but it was very clean, well designed, quiet, and comfortable. The bed was delicious and we slept like babies.
"Great hotel"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 5, 2012
As usual, Red Roof Inn failed to disappoint me when I have looked for a balance between cost and decency of accommodation. Indeed, it is the best value for the buck and goes above and beyond to ensure customer satisfaction. I had to change my booking and then check out early due to personal reasons but the hotel didnt flinch but rather gave me (through Hotels.com) a full refund for unspent nights. Needless to say, I will prefer to stay here when I can.
"Great value, beautiful views"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 5, 2012
We enjoyed the convenient location(right on the Endicott campus). Literally a short walk to the beach. Staff was helpful and friendly. Bed was listed as Queen size but it was actually a full size which was a bit small for the two of us. Otherwise, very enjoyable and would stay there again.
"Very nice hotel"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 5, 2012
Our son goes to college close by and we would stay here again. Very clean, staff was very nice and the breakfast was a bonus. Easy to get to and plenty of places to eat close by.
"close to airport"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 5, 2012
Amazing, room service was excellent..

"superior"
our 11th stay-best hotel in Boston, bar none
"ust what we were looking for..."
we were delighted with the location, accomodations, & ammenities. we would highly recommend the Commonwealth to anyone planning to visit the Fenway area of Boston.
Loved it! Easy walk to Fenway Park.
"topnotch"
Class all the say
"Hotel Commonwealth Great Value, Great Location"
We chose the Hotel Commonwealth because it was reasonably close to our daughter's house and the room seemed reasonable. When we arrived we were pleasantly surprised at the size of the room which included a separate seating area with couch and its own TV with curtain that could close it off from the main bedroom. I guess you could call it a junior suite […] but we only signed up for a basic room. The hotel is very convenient to Fenway and Boston University and not far from the downtown sites. The only real negative was the rather thin wall and the young girls staying and screaming in the room next to us. A quick call to the front desk, however, took care of the problem. If you have car, beware of the parking charge. it was triple the cost of our rental car, but I understand that is just the way it is in Boston, but it was still outrageous to me. All in all, a well-appointed hotel, with an excellent, friendly and accommodating staff at a reasonable price. You can't go wrong here. Read more
I've stayed in a lot of hotels in Boston and this is the only one I would ever recommend!
"Exceeded expectations!"
This hotel is very popular and rated very highly right now, I was a little concerned that the place may not live up to the hype. This was not the case. We loved this hotel. Every staff member we encountered was gracious, friendly and GENUINE! Our room was on the 5th floor w/ a Fenway view- so peaceful-no street noise at all. The restaurants in the hotel […] were wonderful. Especially the Eastern Standard-classy and cool. Location was perfect for our needs 10 steps to the Kenmore T stop, around $5 for a cab ride to the prudential (if you prefer to stay above ground).Literally the only complaint we had, was that some of the support staff was a little noisy in the hallways with walkie talkies and knocking. We usually like to try new hotels every time we visit a city, but from now on when we visit Boston the Hotel Commonwealth will be our destination. Read more
"Great location, in and out parking privileges"
This is a trendy spot in Boston to stay. It is hear Fenway and many of the colleges but is a bit of a hike from downtown. This is a clear example of getting what you pay for, albeit at the higher end of the price points for hotels in the area it is worth it; staff is friendly, everything is incredibly clean and well-kept, dining is exceptional. A good […] thing to know ahead of time is that parking is the same price whether you valet or park yourself - it is a bit of a walk if you park yourself so valet is the way to go. You can come and go as you please without an additional charge which is a nice perk. Read more
"Best Deal in Town"

"Hotel commonwealth opportunities for excellence"
Hotel commonwealth is a beautiful hotel with comfort, excellence service, and luxury. Both restaurants in the hotel are delicious and offer the same excellent service. The only opportunities that I would request would be small service ammentities to enhance the stay. For example other hotels in the area offer a complimentary wine hour and all day coffee […] and hot chocolate. A small simple touch that keeps guests lingering around the hotel area and gives their stay more comfort and something to do within the four walls. Read more
"The ONLY Hotel to stay at in Boston"
I've been staying at the Hotel Commonwealth since one of its first years open. I'll be in Boston at least once a year minimum with work, usually in January. It's about 10 blocks to the Hynes, 20 mins to BCEC via the T w/ 2 tranfers and across the Mass Pike from Fenway. There may be hotels closer to where you want to be, but NONE will be as nice as the […] Commonwealth. I told my company after the first stay that I will only go to Boston if I stay there. Period. Jeff, the doorman, is the best I've meet; the front desk is so attentive that they've sent up OTC cold medicine once when I casually mentioned that I was sick during check-in. Rooms are the cleanest with nightly turn down (get it at check-in; they fill your ice and leave you chocolate). All staff is knowledge about the area. The two restaurants connected are superb... I mean I can go on and on about this place. The point is, if there were places of this caliber everywhere I went (I am usually traveling around the country two weekends a month) I would travel more, but the only place that has a hotel as outstanding as the Hotel Commonwealth is Boston. Please try it, but be sure to leave a room open for me! Read more

"Best Hotel Near Fenway!"
This was the nicest hotel I've ever stayed at. It's located right above the tee and a very short walk to Fenway. They upgraded our room to a Fenway suite and it was awesome. We will stay here again.
"Good deal, great location!"
Great hotel, close to everything. I'm not sure if we lucked out or because it is the winter months and the Red Sox aren't playing right now but we were able to park at a meter in front of the hotel and didn't have to pay the $42 valet fee. We did have to make sure we had quarters in the meter by 8 am. We only stayed 1 night but everyone that helped […] us was very friendly. Read more
"Its almost too nice!"
Wonderful hotel. Wish internet was free for more than a day but best hotel as far as cleanliness goes that I have ever stayed at.
Great location, helpful staff, very comfortable room. Just be aware that your privacy tag should be placed outside your room if you plan to sleep past 8:00am since the highly efficient housekeepers are pretty persistent about getting in to clean- even on check out day!

Fabulous once again!! Great space, staff and vibe!!
"What a nice surprise!"
This is a lovely boutique hotel with a high-end, five star feel and UNBELIEVABLY WORLD-CLASS SERVICE. At every point, each employee went above & beyond to address me by name, make sure I got what I needed and was always satisfied. I work in the business travel industry, and after 20 years it takes a lot to surprise me when it comes to hotels. This is […] a GEM, and I will be returning! Read more
"View"

"Excellent hotel"
Just stayed overnight at the Hotel Commonwealth, but it was great. Service was wonderful, room was large with a view of Fenway Park. Had breakfast at Eastern Standard, where the excellent service continued. Look forward to staying here again soon.

"Anniversary in Boston"
This is a great hotel where the staff really put themselves out to make us welcome. They were helpful with directions and even upgraded our room when we told them it was our anniversary, and we were a retired couple. We will go there again when in Boston. PS Two blocks from Fenway Park.
"Hotel Commonwealth"
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Hotel Commonwealth. It is a luxurious property and so conveniently located near Newbury Street. I would definitely stay there again!

"Great hotel, but..........."
We've stayed many times, our kids went to school in Boston, love the city, and loved the hotel until our most recent stay. We had an upgraded room, which only had one bar of soap, no hair conditioner and no room safe! What??? They seem to be scrimping on things they shouldn't. The shower head was limp, needed a screwdriver to straighten it out, never […] happened even though we asked, and my husband had to squat to take a shower. Not up to the standards we've come to expect from the Hotel Commonwealth. Will we stay again? Probably, but will have some requests filled before we arrive. Read more

"Fantastic"
Great place, very near Fenway Park, great staff (helpful and friendly). There are many shops and restaurants in the vicinity and their restaurant has a great Sunday brunch. It was better than I expected. I would absolutely return to this hotel.

"Hotel Commonwealth - Perfect for a Fenway Trip"
This hotel was great! The location was perfect. I planned a weekend getaway to take my girlfriend to her first game at Fenway. We took the T into Kenmore station. When you come out of Kenmore it is right there. Our room looked out over Fenway and it was so nice there. Hotel is really clean and the rooms are very nice. The hotel is just around the corner […] from Fenway which was very nice after the game. Easy walk to the hotel and we walked right by the huge lines of people waiting to get on the T. Perfect! Our next trip to Boston will include a stay here. Read more
"Hotel Commonwealth in Boston"
I can't say enough about our stay. The Hotel Commonwealth has a very pleasant and accomodating staff. The rooms were very comfortable and clean. Great location...Fenway in the back ...Newbury Street right around the corner. We enjoyed the whole experience and will definitely recommend this hotel to others. We are already talking about going back!!

"Good, but not as good as last time"
I would still recommend this hotel, but: I have stayed here previously, and had a fabulous experience in a much nicer room (suite) for less money than I paid this time. Unfortunately, this time was quite different. Room was okay, but nothing special. Service was very good, in fact there were too many people competing for my attention (tips). The wonderful […] Great Bay restaurant is gone, which was a big draw for me. The replacement is ordinary at best. Can't even remember the name. Mediocre dinner. I think I'll look elsewhere next time I spend that kind of money. The thrill is gone. Read more

Perfect location for visiting our daughter at BU. Easy access to T. Accommodations are always top quality. Staff extremely helpful. If you stay in a 'Fenway Room" your view includes Fenway Park.
"Hotel Commonwealth"
Beautiful hotel and very pleasant staff.
"Hotel Commonwealth - Favorite Hotel in Boston"
This is my favorite hotel in Boston. Most luxurious bedrooms, comfortable beds, beautiful spacious bathrooms (powerful shower), warm room, attentive & friendly staff, elevator ride away from Eastern Standard for a delicious meal or savory night cap. Steps away from the train, short walk to Newbury and other favorite restaurants Audubon and Petit Robert. […] They have a gym (haven't used it) and a club - you really never have to leave! But if you do, very central location. Complimentary DVDs. Read more
