I have been trying different locations in Boston and this is clearly a greta hotel in Boston. Location is perfect as you are in the centre of Boston walking distance to most things, including the subway. The complex has the Westin at one end and the Marriott at the other end with a great mall in the middle, with trendy brands like Louis Vuitton, Boss, Zegna, etc and department stores like Barneys or Neiman Marcus and adjacent to the Prudential Center and convention. There are a number of restaurants in the gallery just by the lobby of the hotel before entering the mall, so everything you need is very handy.
I was lucky enough to be upgraded to a junior suite due to my gold status and got a great room in a Preferred Guest floor , the 35th floor, so the views were spectacular. See my pics attached.The room was large with a sofa and coffee table besides the desk and the large bed. There was an Ipod/iphone charger and radio, lcd TV, bar, coffee maker, etc. Wifi is not free and you pay for 24 hours or more. I could not get wifi in the lobby, so not sure if they have a free service there. The bathroom was a bit too small for the room, but adequate.
The price was excellent and more so if you factor in my free upgrade. I used a Special Offer code I saw here at tripadvisor, so I got the second night at 40% off and same for the 4th night. Great savings.
In-room dining was a bit sparse in its diversity but good quality. The lobby bar is a good hangout after work to relax with a drink and catch some sports on their TV.
The only thing I do not like, but nothing you can do about it, is that the entrances is one level below the lobby, so you need to go up the escalator to check in. When I arrived no one picked my luggage at around 8 PM (no big deal). But the rest of the days I was there I always saw doormen on call, so I guess I was just unlucky.
I plan to go back and next time I will be platinum so I am hoping for a larger suite :-)
