Hotels that charge $500.00 per night usually provide a coffee maker in the room, along with a complimentary bottle of water. This place does not.

I can’t say enough about this property. I’m a pretty critical person, and found nothing wrong with the hotel. I’m a southern guy, so when I checked in with Nick, I felt like I was talking to Whitey Bulger. His accent gave me the Boston experience I haven’t had in numerous trips to the city. Nick was fantastic. Boston is one of my favorite cities, and I get up there several times a year. This was my first time staying at Commonwealth, and it will be my go to for now on.

The front end staff was very friendly and helpful from check-in to check-out. It was a very busy marathon weekend and everyone from valet to front desk never made me feel rushed or unimportant.
