W Hotels in Boston

Great location for exploring Boston with subway and bus service a very short walk from hotel. Subway is cheap and very efficient way to get around. Hotel rooms are spacious and reception team are very welcoming and helpful. If you want to visit the theatres or Chinatown both are only a few minutes walk. Like any hotel there are downsides.... The includes breakfast option is not correct, you get an allowance towards breakfast which does not cover the cost, also breakfast service can be very good or very bad over the 8 days we stayed we experienced both. Evening meals are OK but you can get much better a few minutes walk away. Whilst the hotel is generally well sound insulated for an old building which has been sympathetically converted to an hotel it does not help on a Saturday night, The local nightclub is extremely popular with long queue's down the street, the ones who cannot get in seem to have a weekly rave on the adjoining multi storey car park until around 3am. The noise is incredible and despite this being a weekly occurrence the hotels complaints seem to be ignored by the local authorities. My advice is to either be prepared and accept the inconvenience or avoid staying on a Saturday Night, the same applies to all the other hotels in the immediate vicinity, especially the one with the Candibar nightclub in its basement! Overall a good hotel which could be even be great if the onsite restaurant was improved, the ”includes breakfast” listing was correctly worded, and the local authorities took action about the unsociable noise. Final word of praise for the super reception staff who really go the extra mile to help you enjoy your stay.

The staff were incredible. The lobby and bar look dated, but the room was perfect. The airport shuttle was a great surprise! The hotel is near a T stop, so it is easy to get into the city, but there isn’t a whole lot around (in walking distance) in terms of restaurants/bars- although we only stayed for one night so we could have missed something!

The service was pretty good. It gave me a $40 ”Food & Breakfast” credit per day. I just didn't expect that I also had to pay an extra $30 ”Unban Destination Fee” per day.

It was a quick trip, I didn't get checked in until 3am and left out @9 am. The room was very clean. I was able to grab a quick bagel thanks to the free breakfast buffet. My car was waiting for me and my bag was place in my car by the attendant. Once I was home checking my emails I realized my stay was prorated and I was not charged a full day. I really appreciate them for noticing and applying the credit. I will be choosing Embassy Suites for future trips to Boston.

I’ve been attending an event at this location for the last 3 years and this was by far the worst one yet. The rooms are SMALL… a suite is the size of an average hotel room. The queens were hardly enough for a couple. Their run rooms are literal closets. It is very clean, staff was great about replenishing towels and providing extra within a reasonable time. However, I was a little taken back when management refused to accommodate the event and often shoved us out of the way to prioritize 2-3 pilots coming in from the local airport. We are a 2,500+ person event and staff seemed to go out of their way to make things extra difficult. Elevator lines were ridiculous and when we tried to use the stairs, one of the managers lied and said they didn’t have any. Luckily we found them ourselves and just proceeded to use them as necessary. I was taken back by the bell hops who literally shoved their hand in your face demanding money before you could even take your bags off the cart… certainly made me not want to tip them at all especially after watching them man handle our luggage and throw it around. When it was time to leave, one member openly groaned in annoyance when we had requested our bags be taken to valet. Nobody wanted to do their job without extra money being tossed at them. Finally we got our luggage to valet and before I could even get my wallet out one member scoffed in disgust and tossed the cart at us… certainly not going to tip after that tantrum. 3 years ago this was my favorite location but you can actively see the decline in service and respect toward patrons. The location is ok at best. It’s in walking distance to great restaurants and such, however it’s impossible to park and unload on the main busy street. I’m glad we have a new hotel for next year…

Though the customer service at the front desk was great, other things weren’t. When we arrived in our room, we immediately noticed gross stains on the lamp shades and walls. We had a lunchbox with a few snacks for our toddler and when we woke up found chewed holes from mice in the lunch box and multiple bags of food. The bathtub would fill during a shower and took about 20-30 minutes to empty afterwards. Half of the outlets in the room didn’t work. And Convenient for out of staters the breakfast area was closed. My fiancé and I agreed that it’s not worth saving money and from now on we are sticking with Marriott or Hilton!

Although we booked a lower tier room, we ended up on the 10th floor with a view away from downtown. After recent renovations, the room was modern and clean. The bathroom had a large walk-in shower and good lighting. The hotel is located at one end of a luxury mall with expensive stores. This was helpful for being able to walk around without braving the cold wet weather outside. The staff were friendly and helpful. Be aware that guests are charged a $25 amenities fee that becomes credit towards food and beverages at the hotel; this forces you to spend money for some overpriced food; however the food was good. Parking is also overpriced at $69 per night. You can park at the mall for about $50 paying by the hour. There are many good restaurants in the area and it is a reasonable walk to Boston Commons. It’s a good place to stay near the center of the city, but factor in the expensive extras when you are comparing hotels. We would stay there again.

Watch out where you staying ! We’ve been using intercontinental hotel very well for couple years We live 5 hrs aways from the boston city Every time when we spend some time in the city we always book intercontinental hotel cause this hotel service, cleanness everything was so perfect. It worth, we loved it But lately we are very disappointed of services.last night we stayed was worst experience ever had at intercontinental hotel We stayed a night First. There is No robes. I tried to call lobby so many times! no answer . ( I had exactly same problem couple days ago when we stayed at your hotel. I had to go downstairs to ask for robe) Second. No answer lobby phone as I mentioned at first we’ve tried to call lobby so many time for services. ( Cart, water, etc) but NO answer Every time when I need I had to go Downstairs.. (Until last year? You guys were so good! since this year summer! I believe that you guys were NO answer AT ALL) Third. This is major !! We had a flight next morning so we booked your hotel as usual but we got connection room that I didn’t know even when we are check in there is nothing mentioned We were about to fall asleep around 12am and we hearing some grrrrrrr grrrrrrrr I thought A/C had something problems and we realized we HEARING someone’s snoring our next door!!!! And we couldn’t sleep at all stayed all night to go the airport next morning …. I got so mad… we paid for a night $550 at 5stars hotel and no sleep …no comfort there is no difference $80 inn out there.. So i claimed it next day when I checked out There is one lady who helped me checked out she told me she cant do anything with it but she will give me Email address of manager so i can claim through them But Email also Wrong ! What a WORST experience ever Years of good experiences have all crumbled this year. Anyways watch out where are you staying the room

We visited Boston to watch a musical and this hotel was one of the closest to the theater and it was not as exorbitant in pricing like others were. As you walk in you notice that the lobby is huge. They have a bar/restaurant and already two other restaurant at the facility. We checked in which was quick. The hotel was very clean and nice. We went to our room the 10th floor, it was a double which was fine but the bed was very small. It literally felt like I was on a twin bed. The room was plenty big enough and the bathroom was large and clean. One of the cooler things about this hotel is that they had a wall which was essentially a huge led screen which had various images of Boston. I was literally sitting at the lobby and watching the sites while sitting there-Way Cool!
