Ask for a room at the back of the property (numbers that end in "01" and "02") if street noise is a concern.

DK Eyewitness "This luxury four-story boutique hotel near Harvard University features mostly queen-bedded, intimate rooms with rich linens, and relaxed contemporary styling."
Rough Guide "Right in Harvard Square, this chic thirty-room European-style hideaway really puts the “ooh” into boutique hotel."
Gayot "What it lacks in space it makes up for in New England charm. Even the maids here are decked out in Brooks Brothers uniforms."
Travel + Leisure "A night at this 31-room Harvard Square hotel would be well-spent lingering in the lobby. Rooms are equally intimate, decorated in warm earth tones with intricate molding details." Full review

"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."
