"Every city hotel exists somewhere on the spectrum of “center of everything tourists want” versus “where locals actually live.” And while those two extremes don’t often intersect, they actually do here at the Hotel Commonwealth. It’s one of those rare hotels that feels part and parcel its neighborhood–and considering this imposing building takes up an enormous city block and contains not one, not two, but three of the neighborhood’s best restaurants, it’s safe to say that Kenmore Square is the Hotel Commonwealth. The hotel is on the larger side, so there’s always a unique mix of comings and goings here, from B.U. parents, to business travelers, to Red Sox fans (the hotel sits a scant five minute walk from Lansdowne Street). The Serta mattresses are comfy, the service is warm, and when you’re here, you feel like you’re really staying in a neighborhood, and not just a “hotel,” if you catch our drift." - Shannon McMahon, Todd Plummer
