The Westin Boston Waterfront - Boston 42.34676, -71.04289

We chose this hotel for comfort and convenience to the city Ultra modern hotel in exceptionally good condition though a bit lacking in athmosphere The room was beautiful though a bath mat was missing for two of the three nights. Dinner was pricy so if on a budget would not recommend

We were certainly not disappointed as this hotel was well up to our expectations. We had a nice king-size room on the 13th floor with a great view of the Boston skyline (ask for a room overlooking Boston). The hotel is situated in South Boston. This is a short way from the down town area which is a good walk. The hotel is in a business area which is a little off the tourist path and there are very few places to eat in the immediate area. The Westin is certainly not a 'waterfront hotel' though you could see the water from the 13th floor. It is several blocks back from the waterfront, which in itself has yet to be further developed. The hotel itself had a large open unfussy lobby. The staff were generally helpful and friendly. Check in was quick and with a smile. The room met our requirements though it was not spotless. Likewise the pool and spa were welcoming after a long tiring day but a little grubby around the edges. The changing rooms were clean but a little small for busy periods. The room was quite during the week nights but Saturday night things got to say the least rowdy. We did not eat in the restaurant.Overall a good hotel for visitors especially if you're happy to spend the day out exploring beautiful historic Boston. (We left early in the mornings and didn't get back until late evening.) We had a fabulous trip and a good hotel experience. I would recommend this Westin based on the current rates and quality of service.

This is in walking distance to the south end but not much esle. Nice to have the convention center attached as we were able to catch the car show which was a nice plus. The doors in the hotel though do bang loudly when they close and did wake me at night. The bath was wonderful and the bar in lobby was really great and very pleasant staff and bartender. We paid extra for city view but the convention center building really blocked it so I don't think it was worth the upgrade. Really nice overall though.

The hotel is perfect but over priced and too far from downtown Boston. 42 dollars per day for parking!! That is rediculous!!

The Hotel is new and has all the amenities. It's a good location if you have meetings near Boston's Financial District or Boston's Wharf, but not soo good as a tourist location.

The Hotel Westin was a 30 minute walk from Boston and in a quiet location compared to staying in the middle of Boston. (Not sure how quiet it would be when a conference is held in the conference centre next door) Hotel Room was spacious and clean. Restaurant and bar facilites expensive. Not a wide choice of places to eat around area. The hotel was great if you do not mind walking to and from Boston, and that includes walking into Boston for Breakfast. If you require a car the cost of parking is $42.00 per day valet parking. Expensive for car parking. Great place to stay if you do not mind walking or the expense of a taxi

The comfort of the hotel was just fine. All the staff were very pleasant. Boston mass transit line within a 5 minute walk (or less). Nice pool and workout facilities. Irish restaurant had pretty good food at not so bad prices. My complaints: they nickel and dime you for everything extra; items that most hotels give for free, like internet access, refrigerator, etc. They have you "trapped" (not much nearby) A coke in the gift shop was nearly 3 bucks (no vending machines). Overall, fine for business travelers who can expense those little items, but they add up for the vacationers.

We were pleased to stay at this hotel. We stayed here while riding the 2009 Hub on Wheels. The accommodations were great and we had no complaints. We were very pleased that the hotel sponsored a group of employees to ride the Hub on Wheels. The shirts were great for team Westin. We enjoyed the ride to the start line with the staff. It is always great to stay at a location that supports their staff and community. We will be back next year! Hats off to the Westin.

Waterfront is not the place to drive .One wrong turn and you are on the Mass pike, at Logan Airport or the Southeast Expressway.

The hotel was very nice but not near much of the city.

Convenient location that is next to most of the convention centers in the harbor area.

Even though the hotel is beautiful,quiet, etc., most hotels don't charge for parking...$32 a day is quite a lot for parking.

The hotel is currently in an isolated location that has not been built up yet. Therefore, there are no restaurants in the surrounding area. The only one in the hotel was only open for breakfast and dinner. The pub next door was noisy. Because the hotel is attached to the new convention center, their reataurant was unable to handle the number of people who wanted to eat there each day.

Outstanding service, friendly and helpful. Usual heavenly mattress but none of the usual soft sheets that make the Westin bed such a truly heavenly nest. Great climate control, lots of toiletries available. Towels thick, room clean, very nice furnishings, lobby, etc. Nice pool, jaccuzi, workout room. Very close to T stop and attached to the conference center (nice in bad weather), also reasonable walk along boardwalk to aquarium. Hard to go on from there and walk to sites, shops, dining, you really need to learn the trains or have money for cabs (you have to be crazy to drive). Can take train right to airport.

This Hotel is very new and modern. Services were great, rooms spacious and modern. It's a great location for the Financial sector or the Boston Convention center. Do not recommended if you're in Boston for vacation, as it is not a great tourist location.

Hotel has a cold atmosphere. The grounds are not maintained and have weeds growing in steps and pathways, no outside lighting in stairs. Rooms were not provided with ice bucket or coffee for coffee maker without a call to housekeeping. Though next to the convention center and advertised as a business hotel, the hotel charges for internet access. The desk chair does not provide adequate support (not designed for any significant sitting) and, the room did not include a table. Over all, the hotel compairs with others that charge a fraction of what this hotel charges and, often provide more ammenities. The beds were very comfortable.

I booked this hotel believing I was going to stay in the center of the activity of Boston. Much to my dismay I was a 30 min walk to anything. I tried to change to the Westin I thought I was getting in Copley Plaza and was told no because I did not book thru the Westin system. We were so dissatisfied we checke dout of the hotel 4 hours after our arrival and went home. This would be a good hotel if you like to be near nothing.

It was a pretty hotel, but not a good location if you are going to an event at the Garden. Great bars and qucik and easy check in/check out. Ran out of parking which was extra. Overall very nice.

My only complaint is unfair - it's adjacent to the Boston Convention Center. If you're there for a convention then it's a great location - otherwise, this is off the beaten path and is probably too far to walk to downtown for most people. I was there overnight with my family on the way from NY to Maine and we had a great stay - we walked to the Children's Museum (which the hotel is reasonably close to) and had a great morning. The staff was supremely pleasant and showered attention on my boys, which they loved. Nice room, great pool that's open until late. The two hotel restaurants we went to were OK but pricey - this is pretty much true of all hotel restaurants, but because the hotel is rather remote these are likely your only choices for dining, so factor that in as well.

Great hotel overall. Location is what it is. Westin prides itself on their comfortable beds and did not disappoint. HOWEVER, no matter how comfortable the bed, if you're woken up by every door closing and opening down the hallway, you won't get a good night's sleep! They need to make sure their doors can't be slammed and probably should replace the doors all together with more sound insulated ones. In a truly great hotel you enter your room and feel silence and sanctuary. Unfortunately, that's not the case here.

Great hotel for price paid.

Great hotel, newer with upscale amenities due to proximity to Convention Center. Highly recommend it, easy 5 minute cab ride to heart of Boston.

Great hotel but there is no place to eat in the hotel for dinner. You have to head to another location or order snacks at the bar. But the place is fantastic.

Everything cannot be better. One thing I wanna esp mention is the location. Even if you dont get a room with city view, you will get it once you are out of the hotel. Dont bother to pay extra money. WTC train station is right across a bridge. Extremely convenience for visitors who don't wanna drive around. I will definitely lodge in this hotel again when I visit Boston.

My stay at the Westin was what I expected. What I did not expect was what the hotel did not inform me of and what was taken from my bank account. At no time did the hotel inform me that a $100 deposit was needed on top of the fee that I paid through hotels.com. At the time of check in they asked to take a copy of the card I used to pay for the room, which was fine with me. What they did not tell me was that they charged my card $100 in case of any charges that I may have put on the room. I used a debit card, so for 5 business days the $100 dollars was taken from my account and then returned. If I had known this was the case I would have gave a credit card for this, they caused my checking account to go into the negative and for me to have charges for over-draft fees on my bank account. I wrote them an email informing them of this , and they did not so much as even send an apology via email to me for the inconvenience that they caused I was very disappointed and will never recommend this hotel to anyone.

The valets where very helpful, and the T was just across the bridge, no resturants close by and the hotel one was very expensive. Great view of the skyline. Rooms were very quiet, and clean bathroom could have been a bit bigger with better ventalation. Parking was expensive compared to other lots.

The Westin Waterfront was quite nice in many ways - good service, comfy bed, very clean, nice bathroom - but it was so isolated. In order to get to anything interesting, we needed to transfer twice on the T or take a cab. While that wasn't a deal breaker, other hotels in the Boston area were comparably priced and much more central. So overall I'd recommend the place, but it isn't my first choice.

Rooms were very comfortable. Very Clean. Pool was awesome. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The only downfall was $32 for parking a night.

I got a much needed night away gift and was pleasently surprised. I slept like a baby in the heavenly bedding

The bedroom dooors in this hotel sem to be made of a metal type material and the door closers work on a SLAM only basis. We spent 2 nights here and had little or no sleep due to the doors on rooms banging each time a guest entered or left. We expected to be able to sleep in a four star hotel not be kept awake by doors slamming. It is a large, busy hotel and people were coming and going at all hours of the day and night. Would not recommend it to anyone for business or leisure.

Unbelieveably spacious lobby. Convenient to downtown and Logan Airport
