The Westin Boston Waterfront is a hit or miss proposition. The building is everything you expect from a Westin- clean, contemporary, upscale design. The reason for the hotel's existence is the adjacent convention center, which is a good mile from the Boston most people come to visit- the phrase "near, but yet so far" comes to mind. One thing I LOVE about Westins is the polished professionalism of the staff- this hotel exists as an exception to that rule. Their hearts are in the right place, but the polish and the professionalism isn't there.
The "Irish pub" restaurant was the only spot open for dinner when I arrived a couple days before St. Patrick's Day. It was jam packed with stumbling down, sloppy drunks. I couldn't believe I was in a Westin. I left. Perhaps it was the holiday or the particular group of conventioneers, but PJs or whatever it is called seems more appropriate to a bus station.
