I felt the room was not as up to date as it should have been for the luxury reputation Hotel Commonwealth has. The towels were very low quality, the bathroom was like sand paper & the bed wasn't so good. We ordered breakfast to the room the night before. I had to call the next morning to see where it was. Showed up 15 mins before we needed to leave. Wasn't impressed at all. Wont be going back.

What an incredible experience! Nick Macdonald made our stay so wonderful. His customer service was 5 stars! We had a minor room issue and he took care of us immediately! We will be back and this is the only hotel we will be staying at when we visit Boston! Thank you to all of the wonderful hotel staff that always greeted us with big smiles and were so helpful.

Room was great, hotel staff very good. Only down side we opted for green option on room turn over so every 3rd day not each day but room was not done on day 3 or 4. Apart from this everything was great, water bottles, morning coffee bar and daily snacks were a great addition to the stay.

Really underwhelming given reviews and price. Just meh in every area. Area OK, room OK, no atmosphere, no bar, no breakfast, incredibly expensive valet parking (just put it on the street). Went to the Liberty for a meal and that had much more character and was more centrally located, wish I’d stayed there tbh. Getting a bit tatty in places and smelled not great due to room service left out all hours. Poor for a hotel of this stated standard in my view. Not impressed.
