I've stayed here before and I've always liked the hotel. That said, I self-parked my motorcycle and was charged $ for valet. And in the morning did not have hot water in the shower. It was 'just' warm enough to shower, but not comfortably.

Perfectly Acceptable

The rooms here are adorable and the classic style has been maintained. I checked in late at night. The process went smoothly, but the staff seemed less than thrilled to be there. No real complaints though.

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.
