Price was fair. If it was just cleaned better it would have felt better. Our bed was comfortable and our shower was good. The room we got was nothing like the pictures advertised.

What an interesting stay. You absolutely get what you pay for here but really helped when we were in a pinch to stay somewhere overnight at an affordable rate. Don’t expect anything luxurious and you will not be disappointed. The staff were nice and helpful. Pros: - Had a pretty comfortable bed - A/C, fridge, and microwave available - Door locks and had a bolt - Nice, safe area close to downtown with shops and restaurants Cons: - Strange mold in shower - Heavy dust deposits on walls - Presence of mice outside property - Paper thin walls - could hear everything in hallway - Creaky bed - No elevator

The room wasn't very clean. The TV didn't work. The air conditioning didn't work and it was hot and humid. We parked on the street. We weren't told that Thursday night they clean the street and have to move your car. We didn't and got a $25 ticket. We wouldn't recommend the place to anyone. However the front desk staff were very helpful.

The Commons Inn is a great place to stay if you are looking solely for a home base during your travels. The room was small with a bed, fridge and desk and that was all that would fit. The front desk staff were lovely and very accommodating. Great location and easy to access.

The room was clean that was the good thing. No window in the room. The tv did not work. There was no coffee or tea in the room. There was a mouse running around the room. They gave us a towel to block the door. The hotel was in different parts. Very scary being on the 3rd floor with no windows in case of fire

This got the job done for a reasonable price. It’s basic, without much in the way of amenities, the wifi was inconsistent, but cellular reception was fine. A microwave and mini fridge were in the room which is handy. Cafes and restaurants within walking distance.

A few small touches would make a big difference for this small hotel. Towel racks in the bathroom, a shelf or two to place toiletries, a small set of drawers to unpack clothes into. It was very bare bones. Staff were friendly and did their best to be helpful. WiFi was intermittent and ChroneCast on the TV had to be reset a couple of times.

The building is old and has a charm about it, however it could use a number of upgrades for a better guest experience - replace carpets, provide coffee machines/supplies in room, cleaning under beds, pest controls/mouse traps. It feels like a youth hostel more than a hotel. The competitive price per night is not aligned with quality of facility. Staff were friendly, helpful, and professional.
