Not bad!
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.

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.

Do not stay at the Commons Inn.
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.
Unfinished floor with dirt and "grossness". This was in both rooms.
Toilet paper?
Piece of Oreo cookie in bedside table - not ours
Around drain in tub - other "jets" had mold as well.

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

$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

Last Resort Place to Stay.
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.

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
