London, United Kingdom1 contribution
I travel 100+ days per year for business and have enjoyed stays at W Hotels all over the world. Checked into the W Boston tonight for a 4 night stay. This hotel needs to be very clear during the reservation process that many of the rooms directly face a hip hop nightclub. The bass coming out of the club literally vibrates the walls of your room, cars pull up in front of the club to drop off patrons with music blaring, and the police are frequently pulling up behind those cars and blasting their sirens to get them to move along. I grew up in New York and now live in central London so I’m accustomed to some amount of street noise. But this is an ABSURD level of noise which makes it impossible to sleep. I find it unbelievable that a hotel can sell you a non refundable room and then subject you to these conditions with no warning. The hotel is completely sold out so I was unable to change rooms. I had no choice but to eat the £2400, check out in the middle of the first night and move to a different hotel. I feel like I’ve been robbed.

Moving forward, we will do our best to communicate the potential for noise disruptions to our guests during the reservation process. We hope you will give us another chance to show you the hospitality you deserve on your next visit to Boston. Courtney Velez Guest Experience Manager

Great location with a lot of people walking around but a lot car traffic as well. You are close very nice neighborhoods that you can discover by walking. The hotel is well maintained. The room is spacious and nicely decorated with contemporary style. It is a bit pricey. They do not have self parking but offer pricey valet parking. However, right across there is a public parking 24/7 with overnight parking not that pricey at all. Would still recommend.

The W Hotel, located on Stuart Street in the heart of Boston, is within walking distance of the Back Bay neighbourhood; the city's famous public park, the Boston Common; Chinatown; and Tufts University. From the outside, the building is modern and sleek with an ever-changing palate of colours illuminating its exterior once the sun sets. The interior, comprised of its art gallery, bar and registration is a demonstration in cool restraint. The rooms are stylish, include a number of amenities and as you would expect from W, part of Marriott's excellent BonVoy Program, feature a nearly unparalleled level of quality in bathroom and bed linens. The editors of Wallpaper* magazine, considered the definitive source of art and style by designer afficionados everywhere, would tip their hats in approval.

Great location!! Near all attractions! But please don’t touch anything in the room or order room service - too expensive and if u are not an elite member the Wi-Fi even cost You. You can even hear conversations from other rooms and when thy use the tiolet. The cost of the hotel is not worth it. You are paying for location and ambiance.

The room was very large and well-appointed. It was clean. There were several very expensive bar items - save your money. I would never spend $8 on a bottle of water. Fortunately, they did have free water. The beds were super comfortable. This is in a lively area and the price was really reasonable for what you get. Would definitely come back!

In downtown Boston this very loud lobby hotel has dishonest billing practices. I was booked there for business and the expense was placed on a corporate account. Unbeknownst to me on check in they billed me a destination fee on my own credit card that they take for 'incidentals.' They do give you a card to use in the lobby worth 25$. But they also billed me 20$ for a plain bagel, plain yogurt and coffee that I used my 'free' 25$ card to cover.

As a Gold Elite member, I was truly blown away by the level of professionalism and service administered by Rich. He was very amicable, welcoming, and very informative. Upon checkout that same level of service was displayed by Ana! She was very nice, and personable. You both exemplify what great customer service is!

Not the finest W experience unfortunately, mostly just OK. The room didn't seem to have any reliable temperature control, and also had an odd / pungent smell (not unpleasant, just very bold!). The room otherwise was huge and comfortable, but just not overall quite the experience I had hoped. Location wise, the hotel is in a great location and convenient to everything Boston has to offer.

Great hotel, amenities and superior service. Bar area is cool, and again, great staff. From the doorman to the front desk staff, all awesome. They upgraded up to a spacious, nice room w a comfortable bed. Good location but loud street noise and DJ until one was a bit noisy. Overall, fab stay. Close to all the theatres and restaurants.
