My wife had booked a trip for us to Boston to celebrate my 30th birthday and selected this hotel due to the great reviews posted here on Tripadvisor. First off, we took a cab from the airport to the hotel for about $40 (tip included), were greeted upon check in with two cold glasses of champagne (which was a nice... More

My family of 4 stayed there over Memorial Day Weekend in the Fenway Room. Great view of the Green Monster. Hotel is lovely. Champagne upon arrival is a welcome treat. Room was very clean and had all the amenities I was looking for. Breakfast at Eastern Standard was delicious!Would highly recommend this to familes, couples or business travelers!

We flew in on the red-eye from San Diego and really needed to be in a room by 7:30am. They were so willing and helpful. Got our room ready and did not charge us extra! Loved the rooms, the location near Fenway and Newbury Street (shopping and amazing restaurants) and the T station just steps from the entrance. This was... More

We always stay here - price is on the higher end, but you do indeed get what you pay for. Compared to other hotels with comparable prices (or higher) I have to say this is the best I've ever been to. Great restaurants on the property as well.

We were looking for a convenient spot to stay close to Fenway Park, as we were seeing a Red Sox game. We were also doing some touristing over the Memorial Day weekend, so wanted relative location convenience to the other parts of the city. The hotel Commonwealth did not disappoint, and while I would not call it inexpensive, the value... More

My wife loves the Red Sox, so having a hotel of this caliber literally around the corner from Fenway Park has been the core of our itinerary for three anniversary weekend stays in Boston. Excellent accommodations and superb service and frankly, an excellent value if you appreciate quality. Nicely situated as well. Aside the the proximity to Fenway, a stroll... More

This is just a great hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful, the rooms are spacious and clean, access to everything Boston is right outside the door, Fenway Park is just a short walk - maybe five minutes; I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone. My wife and I really enjoyed our stay.

Although local, and a huge fan of the Eastern Standard, I had long been curious about the hotel that remained number one on TripAdvisor for so long. It had the advantage of being in Kenmore Square. A neighborhood I have long loved, as long as I'm in the mood to battle my way through BU students and Red Sox fans.... More

We were celebrating an anniversary with a Sox game, dinner in town and a room at the Hotel Commonwealth. We were upgraded to a suite and given wonderful recognition. Condition of hotel was pristine with high end furnishings and amenities such as Frette sheets and towels. Food at both restaurants was excellent and service was outstanding. This hotel is high...
