The staff at hotel is amazing. But for the amount you pay for your room def isn’t worth the hype, you have to work fast to get a room u can partially see the stadium, your just better off walking to bleachers. There are only 2rooms that you can possibly see the ballpark from my understanding. On the 2nd floor is where there is a Fenway terrace you can’t see the ballpark itself just the signs behind the back of the ballpark, we wanted to hang out there and we had asked if someone could come lit the fire pits no one went up to lit them… then they closed the doors completely to that area the 2nd day…for the amount you spend to stay here you were to think they would make sure the area is available. They had an event for a team while we were there they ran up and down the hall, there coach had them taking ice baths with the door open it was just not what you expect while your staying at the common wealth. They also had another room setup for them to hangout in, we had no idea it was for them as I myself had my two children with me, my son goes in there and some rude lady comes and gets on to them for being in there! I told her they should get a sign put on the door as other guest also had no idea it was just for them. I hope moving forward for future stays it gets better.

Great location for attending Red Sox games. Short walk to Fenway and many restaurant's. The area around the hotel and park could be cleaned up. I would think that the hotel could at least clean the sidewalk area in front of their doors each morning, especially after a ball game. The hotel inside was always nice. We will stay again when in town.

The hotel staff were very friendly and the check in process was easy. The lobby area was beautiful and our room was spacious. Our original room the bathroom had a strange smell that led us to inquire about a room change. The staff were understanding and able to get us a new room that matched our original room with view of Fenway Park. The new room was much better with no smell. We were a little disappointed with the fact that the room with a view of Fenway included a view of the highway and train tracks that are between the hotel and Fenway that you don’t see in the amazing promo pictures. Aside from that the bed was comfortable and the highway sounds didn’t hinder our sleep. If we would return we probably would not select a room with the view of Fenway but since we were there to see a game we thought it would be neat to see the stadium from the hotel.

Very nice hotel. Clean and convenient location. Quiet. However, I found half the front desk staff indifferent when asked a question. )The other half were very friendly). For example they seemed to have no idea what to tell clients to do after we had to evacuate in the night due to a fire alarm (had to evacuate twice in the same night). Obviously they had no control over the alarm but once the fire department left we had no guidance and in fact after the second evacuation we’re just told it was up to us if we wanted to return to our rooms. No major complaints just an area for improvement.
