A friend and I spent one night at the W. Great location. We went to the Wang Theater to see a play, and it was one block from the theater. The beds were comfortable. Clean bathroom! Good hotel gym. We walked to Contessa for brunch the next morning.

It's been a disappointing experience so far. First, they charge your card on file at 6pm if you haven't checked-in yet. Let me remind you that check-in is at 4pm. So you have 2 hours, and then they charge your card on file. I checked in later than 6pm, and wanted to used a different card - the response was, "sorry, you'll have to deal with finance to get a refund." What? I've encountered this literally never. What are they afraid of? They already have your credit card - maybe just wait until the guest checks-in? or midnight? not 2 hours after you CAN check-in? Second, the property is just not that nice. It's old, and it shows. There are tears in walls. The minibar was missing a door cover (!). The bath robe was used (ew!). Yes, they have add-on fees (even though this is not a resort - far from!). $35 destination fee per night (plus tax that's >$40 per night). But I'm ok with that IF the hotel was nice and the service was good. But alas. Oh yeah, I'm Bonvoy platinum and recognition is pretty minimal here. Bad service and run-down rooms. There was so much potential...

We were at the W for a couple of nights before a company business meeting and how we loved this hotel. Everything about it was perfect! The location (restaurants, convenience stores, Karaoke bar), to the room, but most importantly the people and their commitment to service. Anna greeted us at the front desk and genuinely wanted us to enjoy our stay. Mary Anne and Danielle at the Whatever desk were perfect ambassadors for the hotel as they helped us in many different ways. And there was Paul…wow! He was there for us every step of the way while also making his colleagues shine. We didn’t want to leave to go our next hotel for our meeting, but, alas, we had to. We still haven’t stopped talking about our experience at W Boston and it will forever be etched in our memories. Thank you for making us so welcome. ,

My stay at the W Hotel Boston was disastrously far from what one would expect from a Marriott co-branded establishment, traditionally known for their high standards and quality service. This experience was an unfortunate deviation from the norm, leaving me thoroughly disillusioned. Upon arrival, we were supposedly "upgraded" from a "Wonderful King" to a "Spectacular King" room. However, the so-called upgrade was a farce. The room, while larger, was cluttered with impractical, oddly-shaped furniture, rendering the extra space utterly useless. The anticipated view was nothing more than a dismal glance into an alleyway. To add insult to injury, at check-in, we were blindsided by a $35 per night destination charge on top of already premium rates. This fee, meant to be a food and beverage credit, felt more like a compulsory minimum spend at their overpriced restaurant and lounge—where a simple breakfast for two astonishingly costs around $60. Moreover, this credit was not automatically applied to our account as promised, leaving us to chase down refunds. Our room, number 1103, offered a view of nothing but the alley, subjecting us to nightly disturbances from the loud club located behind the hotel, along with disruptive street noise, garbage trucks, and other late-night commotions. The room's proximity to the stairwell further ensured a rude awakening each morning due to the sound of people traversing the stairs. Despite the room and its furnishings being noticeably old and dated, it's worth noting the sheets were of high quality—a small consolation in an otherwise disappointing setting. The incompetency extended beyond the room itself. Our room keys were inexplicably deactivated after just two days, and requesting reactivation from the front desk turned into an inquisition, with staff displaying a shocking level of rudeness and discrimination, especially towards my partner. This behavior was not only unwelcome but highlighted a concerning level of bias and disrespect from the front desk staff, seemingly influenced by race and sexual orientation. Even attempting to work in the lobby lounge was fraught with challenges, from being interrogated about our presence to being outright ignored when requesting beverages. The entrance was another point of contention, manned by staff who neither assisted with luggage nor offered basic courtesies like door opening, instead choosing to be confrontational. Our grievances were communicated to management, only to be met with indifference, as they opted to commend their staff's appalling conduct instead of addressing our concerns. This experience was the epitome of anxiety-inducing, plagued by constant uncertainty and dread over what unpleasantness would come next. In conclusion, the W Hotel Boston is a stark departure from the Marriott brand's reputation, proving to be a stressful and regrettable choice. I advise against staying here; there are far superior alternatives that truly understand the essence of hospitality. This establishment is unworthy of its "premium" label, a genuine letdown in every aspect.

The W Boston is in the heart of the Theatre District and close to Tufts Medical, the Common, and shopping areas. There are many places to eat around--from breweries to Thai and everything in between, and it is directly across from several convenience stores as well. The rooms were comfortable and quiet with a modern vibe. Downstairs lounge area was comfortable and the bar was friendly and comfortable. Desk staff was attentive at check-in. We will definitely return.

Trendy and Chic…Classy with a Vibe and the perfect weekend getaway for those who want to get away from a stressful work week…. It was our 1st time staying at the W Boston. Being a BonVoy Platinum member has its perks, we were upgrade to one of their large King suites with late check out. The receptionist, Megan at checkin was very engaging and welcoming. The room was clean, spacious and gorgeous with all amenities. Full bar with snacks!!! Daniella, our esteemed concierge, we had such a GREAT time with her working on our weekend agenda she had so many suggestions and options to choose from; bars, brunch, dinner, lounges, shopping, etc…Special shout out to Daniella, we arrived to our room to a bottle of champagne and chocolate covered Strawberrys. My wife was so happy and impressed by the hospitality. Toni, the bartender at W Lounge makes a good dirty martini and bloody. Thanks Toni! I suggest having cocktails at the W Lounge during the afternoon and early evening before you head out to dinner because when you arrive back to the hotel after 10pm it’ll be a totally different vibe. My only negative is the group of doormen/bellmen could be a bit more attentive to the guests entering and exiting the hotel but there was one gentleman that I noticed was very attentive but I didn’t get his name. Nevertheless, we’re planning to come back in April for my wife’s birthday. See you soon W Hotel.

I booked this property on points through Marriott. Unfortunately, my wife was ill and we weren’t able to stay. I fully expected to lose my points but the they hotel charged me a $250 fee. I was floored after 15 years of Titanium status, I’ve never experienced this. I’m extremely disappointed with this property and Marriott’s protection of their loyal customers. Disgraceful.

Stayed here for 2 nights for a weekend getaway. Everyone was polite and cordial, especially the valet and bellman. The room was comfortable and quiet. Nice bed linens…However, it could have been a tad cleaner…soiled seat cushion and a few dust bunnies. The room had unusual lighting…the room was dark. The entryway had no lighting…a bit awkward set-up of furniture that created a bunch of wasted space. Window opened which provided some fresh air!!! Ate in dining room for breakfast both days….service was good…food just OK. Did not like the coffee….too strong and bitter. Loved the location in the heart of the Theater district with just a short walk to the back bay, commons, and the north end.

For 700 bucks a night, you would assume they would have a fan in the toilet, but they don't. Nor are the rooms soundproofed, as my daughter and I could hear the drunken convo next door all night long. The lighting is all around cheap, and to top it off, you have to pay for internet unless you are a "member." But the final blow is that my Airpods Max were stolen from the room, although management says that's impossible. All in all, a total rip off.
