OysterUpscale
"The 148-room Hotel Commonwealth is one of the most well-rounded boutique hotels in Boston." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The opening of this ultra-modern hotel in 2002 signaled the gentrification of student-oriented Kenmore Square. French Second Empire decor is combined with hi-tech amenities."
Rough Guide "Old-world charm mixed with modern decor makes this a welcome addition to Boston’s luxury hotel scene, with nice touches like choice linens and L’Occitaine products, as well as the Eastern Standard restaurant."
Star Service "This is one of the best independent boutique-hotels in the city, a short-lister for anyone that appreciates animated interiors and a colorful built-in social scene with fine dining and a fun bar at its core." Full review
Gayot "Although constructed after the turn of the millennium, this hotel has an old-fashioned feel to it."
BlackBook "Largest rooms in Boston, with Fenway views for season ticketholders and their appreciative guests."

DK Eyewitness "Rooms are fairly small but chic with soothing colors, plantation shutters, and flat panel televisions."
Rough Guide "Pampered luxury in the heart of Beacon Hill, these thirteen small but sleek chambers occupy a regal mid-1800s brick building."
Star Service "This is a lively little favorite, offering an informal yet elegant contemporary ambience that blends local history with updated modern accents, all in adjoining 1830 and 1850 town houses." Full review
Gayot "The rooms here are small and intimate, but they aren't the major draw."
BlackBook "Only 12 rooms and one suite available, (each one unique) but size gives a personal touch."
Zagat3.5
