Comfortable night at the commonwealth
Stayed here for a show at MGM. Was within walking distance with good food options close by. Room was spacious and beds very comfortable. A little noisy in the morning but I had the white noise machine on to help drown out the sound. Also a maid opened my door at 10am while I was still in the room. I never understand how there isn’t communication about who has checked out from the front desk. Blue ribbon downstairs was very good but the portions were small.
