I was attending at the Westin by the Convention Centre but decided on a hotel in a more central location for my wife's sake. The location is great for shopping and dining: a couple of blocks' walk from the trendy Newbury Street area and from the Copley metro station. For a hotel that is somewhat pricey and that tries to put on a "cool" image, I was glad that its staff were uniformly warm and friendly. Other reviewers have commented on the noise from the street when the nightclub closes. Yes, it's true, but didn't really bother us as it didn't last long. The reception desk gave us the option of moving to a higher floor on the second night if we minded the noise, but we didn't take it up. Our main complaint was the lack of a fridge or tea/coffee-making facilities in the room. This took us by surprise as we'd expected a hotel of this class to come with such basics.
