Westin Boston Waterfront Hotel

I visited the Westin Boston Waterfront for only a couple of days, but my stay was amazing. The staff at check-in was so friendly and accomodating. The food for my business meetings was beyond great. The room was perfect and I loved my view of such an amazing city. I normally travel to Salem for fun, but would consider staying here if I were to visit Boston itself. Wicked good time.

Solid good, pricey as hell (but that is typical of Boston), friendly supportive staff, ambient music intrusive. I'm Boston-born and -bred, though the Seaport district is transformed beyond all recognition. Staff is friendly, approachable, competent, know their jobs: special kudos to the FOH/reception folks, and the night-time parking-and-cab guys, who know their jobs and aren't fazed by high-maintenance out-of-towners. Location is tough--it's distant from both the landmarks, the shopping (if you care), and the restaurant district--but if you pay attention, and track the restaurants, you'll have a good time. No points lost for cost--Boston is ridiculously, unsustainably expensive for a place that wants to be a convention town. +1 for easy and inexpensive proximity to Logan, an excellent airport and a $10-12 cab ride. One point lost for the ambient music, which is skull-crushingly loud in the lobby, intrusive in the elevators, and ubiquitous in the corridors. Turn that sh&t down!

Great service - and I am comparing this place to other Westins, Marriotts and Renaissance hotels (not Fairfields or Courtyards or similar which generally have lower costs and lower levels of service). Everyone there treated us well and in nearly 40 years of being a Marriott frequent stayer, none came close. Great team!
