I stay here relatively often if I have to work late, and the staff has always been amazing, and the location is super convenient. I just wish the hotel offered its own booking/loyalty program so I could book directly with them for a comparable rate. High point is how comfortable the bed is -- feels like some kind of feather topper.

The room was in good condition but the bathroom did not flush. Had to go to BR in lobby for our 2 day stay. They were not able to give us a different room. The manager did comp us 1 night and the 2 valet days but still it was a nuisance

We loved our stay at the Commonwealth Hotel! We were pleasantly surprised with an upgrade to a suite, which was spacious, comfortable, and spotless. The staff were friendly and accommodating throughout our visit. The location was perfect—close to the Carpenter Center and surrounded by excellent restaurants. Overall, a wonderful experience that made our trip even better. Highly recommend!

The hotel was very comfortable, good beds and the rooms were spacious. They could improve cleanliness in the rooms (it was not bad but we found some dirt and stuff in corners). The staff was super amicable and accommodating.

everything was O.K. with exception of the windows which were, to be kind, atrocies. Cobwebs and dead insects had not been cleaned off the windows. It looked like they had not been cleaned for years.

Staff 99% incredible! From desk to server, with valets amazing except one which is extremely high!! Servers went out of way after exhausting day! I wish I got everyone’s names. I wake up during night, then go outside , I felt safe with the valet staff! Bummed that we were told 2 Queen beds several times and website, yet they are only doubles.
