    2nd stay

    This time we were in 602. Valet service took care of our car and luggage. The dining room is not regularly open, so it is somewhat hit or miss. Very convenient to the Capital Park for dog walking, open from 6am to 9pm. Queen sofa was very uncomfortable in the living area. Needs improvement. Like the convenient location and will return.

    What a relief!

    After days of staying at third-rate places that accept dogs, it was a wonderful, comfortable change of pace to stay at the Commonwealth. The $100 dog fee was mighty steep, though.

    Doesn’t get better

    This is the best dog-friendly hotel we’ve ever stayed at. The furniture and bedding were excellent, so often, dog-friendly accommodations feature worn or old furniture. Not the Commonwealth. It was absolutely lovely. You’d never know they allowed dogs bc of the quality. The staff was also so friendly. We will definitely stay again.

They even gave us an upgrade, wfich was a nice surprise ‼️ We really enjoyed our stay, highly recommend 🐶‼️

    Bad location

    I stayed there on a Sunday night. Everything shut down. Restaurant closed. Hotel very old. Room was spacious but Kind of musty. Would look at different properties next time.

    Thrilled with Our Stay

    Stayed for 1 night in the middle of a long ride with dog and 1 year-old. We couldn’t have been happier with the room and hotel overall. Friendly and efficient service, room was beautiful, spacious, and clean. Highly recommend.

    Wonderful stay

    Large, quiet room that the dogs loved. Literally steps from the Capital grounds. Could not ask for a better location. Staff was super attentive and doted over the dogs. Would definitely stay here again.

    Friendly staff and location can't be beat!

    Staff was super friendly and helpful. Awesome location and the bed was super comfortable. Definitely staying here again, hopefully, the same exact room!

    Great Location, Great Staff

    The hotel is right next to the state capital which has pretty grounds for walking your dog. The gates close at 9pm so you’re pressed to find an adequate spot for your dog to relieve itself later at night. The park has doggy bag stations and plenty of trash cans. I just wished there was another green space option after hours. The hotel is older but the suite we were in was well decorated and the beds were fantastic. There are many guests with dogs which is really nice to see in the heart of a city. The parking is by valet only, and they were more than willing to help. They even allowed my daughter to park her car in front of the hotel for an hour or two late evening without charging her the $30 parking fee. The restaurant looked nice but we had other dining plans. I would highly recommend the hotel.

    Awesome location

    This was a great location and awesome stay. Staff were super friendly and the room was very well equipped. There was a great park just across the road for dog walks.

    Best pet friendly hotel I've ever stayed in!

    This recently remodeled boutique hotel offers huge modern rooms perfect for our furry friends. We stayed in a room described as "cozy" with our two goldens, it was very spacious, with separate sitting and sleeping areas. There is a park directly across the street, perfect for a walk. Nice restaurant in house, very attentive staff. A classy alternative to the strip motel you might often find yourselves in with larger dogs. Highly recommended! Note that the hotel is now known simply as the Commonwealth.
