I'm a fan of the W hotel group, having stayed with them in a number of cities so on a recent trip to Boston it was a natural choice. As always, there is the groovy vibe when you arrive and lots of beautiful people and pretenders hanging out in the lobby bar so an instant party if you don't wish to venture far. The location is great, walking distnace to the common and in the midst of the theatre district. The room however had some significant issues. First off, the thermostat didn't work. The options that did work were either freezing cold AC on high or nothing, and then the system shut down completely during the night so we awoke in a sweltering room. The room lighting system requires the very large and bright neon wall light to be on at all times or there is NO light at all. Had to use a flashlight to find the bathroom in the dark. Hotel management had left us a message regarding the lighting so they clearly know there is an issue. Then there was the smelly, mildewy shower curtain. for the price, this hotel was a disappointment.
