The Commonwealth is located directly across from the state capital. The neighborhood is fairly isolated but is convenient by car to most everything. The staff is overwhelmingly attentive and friendly. We stayed in suite 302 which is very large. Free bottled water is replenished daily and the shower products are very nice. Wi-fi was good, comfy bed and nice couch with TV in the bedroom. The facility is somewhat dated and there were multiple issues in our suite including a non-functioning thermostat in the living room and a smoke alarm that went off after a steamy shower. Since we were there for just 2 nights we didn't request any maintenance.

I stopped at the Commonwealth for a night driving up to NY. I was pleasantly surprised at the size of the room, the comfort of the bed and how accommodating and nice the staff was. I was worried about leaving the car on the street overnight and they went out of their way to assure me it was safe. I enjoyed my stay and will return next time!

The atmosphere at this hotel felt somewhat impersonal. While I had positive interactions with two of the valet staff, who were both incredibly kind and personable, the experience at the front desk was less welcoming. The staff seemed disengaged, with no eye contact or smiles during our interactions. I believe this is likely unintentional, but I hope management takes the opportunity to emphasize in training how vital it is for guests to feel genuinely welcomed, as if they are entering a home. A warm reception goes a long way in creating a positive experience.
