From the day I arrived to the time I left, the entire staff was very friendly and welcoming. The breakfast certainly exceeded expectation and was much better than some of the local restaurants in downtown. My disappointment came with overall look and feel of the hotel. I was expecting a five star experience and the current state of the hotel did not deliver. The dark hallways, dirty bathroom and torn bedding was not what I expected.

Clean, comfy, quiet.

The Commonwealth manages to capture a classic yet modernized feel. Desk staff and valets were friendly and helpful. Rooms and common areas were clean, room was fairly spacious, area was quiet. Parking was $37/night, which is expensive, but not out of line with other hotels. Good stay overall, served our needs. Recommended if you need to stay downtown.

The room itself (Carpenter suite) was very pretty, but lack of attention to details was apparent. Repairs were obvious and carelessly done (paint touch-ups, tile repair in shower, etc.) The bathroom door would not close… and three adults were sharing a room. The dresser drawers also would not remain closed (they were open upon arrival). The toilet ran every time it was flushed, but jiggling the handle solved the issue. The beds were super comfy! The valet was incredibly kind and gave us tips for the area.

We had a great stay. Everyone was helpful and very friendly. I wish I had names, but we checked in the and the young gentleman grabbed us a cart and went to our car and helped us with the luggage. He also brought everything to our room. I think he also was the valet at that time. The night time valet was super great!!! The hotel is very nice and we had a great stay.
