Ratings and reviews
1.0 / 10.0
This is definitely the worst place I’ve stayed in many years. It is overpriced for the value, the place is absolutely worn down and should be fully refurbished. I will never stay here again.
Further the hotel’s webside clearly lies when it posts pictures of the hotel and area around as very nice. The hotel website also says daily cleaning. There was no cleaning at all and I stayed for 8 nights.
The toilet paper is so thin that you need at least 10 layers to be sure you don’t ……
There is a tv in the room, but no channels, only option is to chromecast to the tv.
The hotel is next door neighbour to a fire station and the fire trucks are never quiet whether it is day or night. I could. It use the a/c during night as it was so noisy.
The only good thing is that the bed was nice to sleep in and that I’m now on my way home.

It appeared clean at first, but everything is old and worn, and then I noticed the bedside table had clearly not been cleaned. It felt very sketchy in the area and around the hotel. Locals I spoke to could not believe I was staying there. Avoid.

Simple but dated property. Decent location, walk to many restaurants.

Friendly staff upon arriving, reasonable rates for the budget conscious. Shower track could use some extra cleaning. Strict policies. Parking extra. Basic accommodations

It was an old building which was good but it needs a lot of renovations

Clean small room. Looked like newly renovated. Friendly stuff.
4.0 / 10.0
Not much to like.!!!
No cable TV, Wifi has a poor connection, some staff I heard talking about their customers.
Very dull place to stay.
I really wouldn’t recommend this hotel to anyone.
Needs to have cable tv and less chatter about their customers, why Expedia would recommend this hotel for anyone’s stay is beyond me.
2.0 / 10.0
Not great. No services. Had to get own towels and fight for basic room service. Very convenient for where we needed to get to. Don't have the energy to name all the negative
4.0 / 10.0
the place was in the middle of renovation so construction dirt and noise depending on which part of the building
staff seems hard working but not professional
very shady characters staying in the property
we got one small used soap bar and had to ask for another one
internet signal is week, not coffee machine or kettle to make tea, but there is a small fridge and microwave
shower is decent and water pressure is good
beds were comfortable and clean
area is close to boardwalk (25 min walk) with few delis/cafe's and bars
I would only recommend if you are travelling and trying to keep accommodation costs to a minimum and are not planning on spending anytime in hte motel except to sleep (not table/chairs/etc in the room and I got the premium room)
for additional $25/night you can get much nicer places
4.0 / 10.0
Looks like a rundown apartment. Not in a good location and wiring is visible and doesn’t look safe. It smells musty the tv doesn’t work, bathroom is smaller than a portable toilet deck and rooftop is very dirty and not maintained. The parking space can hold maybe 4 cars. But it was cheap

Hotel needs to be deep cleaned.
2.0 / 10.0
We were put in a room that was not up to fire code. The curtains were pulled closed and when we opened them we were looking into the inside framing of a separate new under construction building. The “hotel” in general was just kind of terrifying. Parking was really bad and the hotel changed an additional $20 per night for that.
8.0 / 10.0
The staff were extremely nice. The property however is poorly kept and the inside disjointed. Wires and cables running outside of walls , old dark hallways. No cable television available. My room was very clean and sheets were clean. It does need a major bathroom upgrade and improvement to finishes. 1 ply toilet paper and ketchup packets of shampoo that are impossible to open with wet hands is really not necessary to skimp on.

3.0 / 10.0
Based on the previous reviews, I was a little afraid, but it was better than anticipated. The building is old and the Inn is definitely odd, but the room was clean and everything was basic but fine. The people at the desk were efficient and friendly. There are only a few parking spots and you do have to pay $20 for a parking spot. There is no wifi and no TV, also.
2.0 / 10.0
Do not stay here unless you absolutely need to. It's priced like a hotel but it's really a motel: no services, no elevator, no parking, no extra linens, nothing. The room was dirty and the comforter was black, had burn holes, and was extremely old. The pillows were tiny and thin. We were 2 adults but could only get a single key.
The people running this should be ashamed and at worst, this is a money laundering front. Don't stay here.

Scam. Not what was advertised on the booking site nor on the Commons Inn site. Not ok to charge that much for what we got, no matter the location. Not appropriate for families. Noisey (inside and out). Mold in bathrooms, floor slanted so bad we had to put pillows at foot of bed to sleep. No where to sit with a table (even a small table). We asked for a refund for 1 of our 4 nights or at least a change of rooms (we had 2 rooms). They could not and would not do anything to address the problems. We left 1 night early anyway and booked another hotel just to get some sleep and be able to be comfortable as a family. Rip off. And they charge $50 for an extra key card (even though there are 2 people in the room) which you get back at end of stay - if it is lost they keep the $50 - again, not appropriate for families or any other situation where you may lose a plastic card that probably costs a dollar. They charge $20.00 a night for parking and don't have enough parking for everyone who pays. No cleaning of rooms or halls while we were there (3 nights). Advertised "renovated" - they are not, they are in the process and didn't let us know before we paid. Had I known any of this, we would not have booked there. I expect more diligence from the booking site as well as no price gouging from the hotel. Tried to speak with the manager or person in charge and they apparently don't know when that person will ever be there. And crepe paper for toilet paper. TV wouldn't turn on.

When you first pull up there isn’t much. Parking is limited. We were expecting the worse just based on the outside. But as they say, never judge a book by its cover. The rooms were nice and updated. It is near downtown which is nice. Definitely would recommend
4.0 / 10.0
$20.00 paid parking in an area for 6 vehicles full of construction materials. Very small room also with construction surrounding. View out of our window was into another room they are building. Not 175.00 room. Internet signal so low it wouldn't connect, air conditioner too old and loud to run and that's the only amenities

No car-parking at all
2.0 / 10.0
Just needed an overnight stay to drop my son off at the airport early morning so we booked a room with two twin beds. 1. No parking (there used to be free parking), or you can pay $20 for parking. 2. Reminded-no smoking or $200 cleaning fee. 3. One key card-"don't lose it or we charge you $20". 4. Cheap AC unit that cycles on-off with three different levels of annoying loud noises. Noisy neighbours. (It was a Sat night so not the problem of the owners). Had to unplug the blinking clock radio. Window curtains don't close completely letting in street light. Didn't watch TV but he said something about no cable service. Wi-fi worked.
The Commons Inn used to be kind of a cool funky place to stay, but now it's just kind of annoying—and not cheap.
8.0 / 10.0
Property was inexpensive compared to the market and right beside an excellent tavern and great Deli - Parking was limited but in fairness the room was clean, not a fan of Internet TV but the proximity to really cool bars and restaurants make it an interesting selection

Contrary to many other reviews, I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised here. Clean room, friendly front desk clerk. Neighbourhood is a little questionable however, I felt safe. Parking was a little tough to find though. Two minute walk at most.
Stayed for two nights.
Good pizza place around the corner.

Clean property. They charge extra for parking. One of the receptionist is very rude.
Otherwise it’s clean quiet and economic.

For $240 per night, one might expect a working TV and perhaps a coffee percolator in the room. This place has all the charm of a Hostel, lots of druggies on this street, dirty halls and even single ply toilet paper to boot. The bed literally was 16” above the floor level. Slamming doors kept us awake both nights and early mornings. And they have to physically check your room out when you are checking out with a $200 hold on your credit card. Hard to believe they actually are allowed to advertise on hotel apps. Not worthy of a 2 star rating. Never again at this place.

We booked accidentally on the Hotels.com and then customer service tried to help us get it fixed but the commons in were very rude and would not cancel it, as we were being charged we decided we mis well go, we read the reviews and were very nervous upon arriving. We could not find parking it is a very sketchy place and when we did find a spot we were blocked in by many cars and had a hard time getting out. The service was poor and were lectured on rules when checking in harshly which made us feel unwelcomed the halls and stair wells stink like must and a foul odor. The room is extremely small and dirty the furniture is in rough shape and the bed was awful. We also felt unsafe completely. Walls paper thin, and house keeping vacuuming at 8 this morning up until 10. Overall disgusting we didn’t even sleep in the covers.
