We have stayed here many times in the past and each time we return, the accommodations and staff have declined. Our room was not clean with mold in the shower, broken shower fixture, grey towels, stained carpet and more. The restaurant charged us $12.00 for a 20 oz. beer which was actually in a 12 oz. glass. We will not be staying here again.

In general The Commonwealth hotel is old and dirty. The toilet in my room got clogged at 8am, I called the front desk and told them, they said they’d take care of it. I get back to my room at 9pm after a long day of work meetings and the toilet was still clogged. Totally unacceptable. I’ll never stay here again.
