Absolutely brilliant!
We stayed at the Commonwealth Hotel, having arrived directly from Australia after about 30 hours of travelling. We were exhausted and arrived at 1am but were delighted to be greeted with friendly enthusiasm and upgraded from the deluxe room to the junior suite. It was magnificent with a view out over Commonwealth Ave. The staff couldn't be more helpful and professional, every last detail was thought of including an umbrella in the cupboard. There is a DVD player in the room and there are free DVD's that you can have delivered to your room. The walk downtown takes about 20 minutes. On the last night there we ate at the restaurant downstairs and it was also fantastic, see separate review for the Eastern Standard. We could only stay 3 nights as there was no availability for 4 nights and had to stay at the Boston Park Plaza Hotel which was extremely disappointing after the Commonwealth. Don't even think about any other hotels, this is the best.
