Boston
I was given keys to a room that was already occupied. Once they switched us to a new room, we quickly realized that they have wired the lights in such a way so that you can only get the bathroom light on while also having a very birght light in the bedroom area turned on. This is horrible when you are trying to sleep. To top off a horrible experience, our room was across from a corporate entrance on the fourth floor. So Monday morning was filled with that door slamming shut every couple of minutes. I would never stay at this hotel again.

Overall great stay at W
Overall, our stay at the W in Boston was very enjoyable. From the cool contemporary lobby to the impeccably decorated rooms, the W exudes class. There was a nice flat screen TV w/ DVD player, large comfortable bed, and a soothing rain shower head in the walk-in shower. The location was very convenient - within a block of the Boylston T stop on the Green Line and within a few blocks from the Park Street T stop on the Red Line. The check-in staff was very nice; [...].There were however several negatives about our experience. We didn't get to use the Acura Whenever Wherever service because they failed to tell us that it isn't available on weekends. The service staff failed to replenish washcloths and certain toiletry items that were obviously running low (lotion, shampoo, etc). The Market restaurant is woefully unprepared for entertaining parties with small children and claimed they had "1 high chair in the hotel" but then couldn't find that 1 high chair. The fitness center ran out of water while we were working out. However, the staff did eventually bring in little bottled waters to make up for it.

Bean Town = Fun Town
I have been to Boston 2 times and both times loved it. The second time I stayed at W Boston Hotel. My first advice, stay at the W! Location/service all AMAZING! First thing you should do (whether you stay at the W or not), go to the lobby bar at the W for a drink. Get there early and talk to the bartenders. (Joe rocked). They will help you plan your trip. Everything from food, drinks, fun! These guys know their stuff. Second thing to do: go to DRINK. Not going to get into details about it, just go for a drink there. The food in Boston is nothing to write home about, but then again they are know for their sea food and I ate everything but sea food, except mussels in North End which were amazing. So I guess eat sea food. I love Boston and the second trip wont be my last! Enjoy!

Talk to the bartenders while having a drink early in the day. Later at night it will get busy and they wont be able to give you their full attention. So make sure you go for an afternoon drink. Tell them what you like, ask what is going on that they think will be fun. (I am in my mid 20s, so dining/drinking/hanging out are the things I was focused on and my review reflects)

Great place to stay - great bar!!!!!!!
The "W" is brand new to Boston. It has all the amenities one would want and its location is smack dab in the middle of the Theatre District. Although I was there in late January when it was cold; you could walk anywhere from this location.

If you ever visit Boston and it is your first time, I would highly recommend you hire a driver the first day to see all the sights and get a "historical" update to bring you up to speed about this history-laden city. Ask for any concierge and tell them to get you [...]. He is a driver and a historian. He is highly recommended.

Empfehlenswertes Hotel mit tollem Personal
Das Hotel ist in Boston gut gelegen, man ist in der Stadt, erreicht aber Cambridge in kurzer Zeit. Die Zimmer sind sauber und es steht den Gästen sogar ein Autoservice zur Verfügung (kostenlos). Das Personal ist sehr zuvorkommend.
