Back to Hotel Commonwealth Our "go to" hotel in Boston! We have stayed at the Hotel Commonwealth three times- the first time was a few years ago when we were touring Boston campuses with our son and most recently for my 50th birthday. We stayed there initially because the location was so convenient to everything (Newbury Street, Kenmore Station, Fenway Park, etc.) but have returned because of the exemplary service, exquisite rooms and decor and wonderful restaurants. The hotel never fails to put a smile on our faces. How can you be unhappy when your room overlooks Fenway?!
Reviewed by: A Yahoo! Contributor from on Sep 29 2009 Beautiful hotel but $400 a night??? I know Boston is an expensive city, and we looked into many different hotel options before settling on The Hotel Commonwealth because of its proximity to Fenway and downtown. From the moment you step foot out of the taxi and the wonderful doorman greets you, you will feel like royalty. The staff was incredibly nice and very helpful with directions and suggestions on where to eat and shop. We picked a Fenway view room and was not disappointed. The rooms are very nice size, and the view was pretty nice- looking directly out into Fenway Park. The temperature control was a little touchy in the room which made it either very cold or very hot. The shower heads were too strong, but that is about the only complaints about the room. Very comfy bed and nice LCD High Def TV.

Reviewed by: Oofis from on Jun 14 2008 skip it - stay at any Copley Sq hotel instead the location is ideal for baseball games, but the hotel is wildly overrated. it is especially overpriced for its quality. it is disastrously unattractive from the outside and awkwardly constructed on the inside.
