W Hotels in Boston

I would recommend this Hotel for someone who’s traveling to Boston and need a place to near by the Bar, Hospital, China town and Downtown of Boston. It was a pretty good hotel, quite and convenient inside.

The hotel is 8 mins walk to the redline, which makes the transportation very convenient to all the main attractions in Bostion. The hotel is old, so the room has a weird smell. However, the reception desk is very friendly. We had our welcome cookies and some nice suggestions for the stay and transportation. There is a market place on the first floor which serves Starbucks coffee and other groceries. All in all, we are satisfied with the stay considering the price.

The hotel room's thermostat was set at 68 degrees F when we entered but we found it to be quite warm, so we turned the thermostat down to 65 degrees, then further to 62 degrees because the room was still quite stifling. Around 2:00 a.m., uncomfortable and sweating while trying to sleep, we called the front desk and told them that we had lowered the thermostat to 60 degrees F but that the heat was just as warm as when we first entered the room (there was no way to measure it but I'm guessing it was close to 80 degrees). The front desk told us that the thermostat only controls the heat; that is, lowering the temperature will not actually cool the room or turn the heat off. They told us that the only way to stop the heat was to turn it OFF. We were also advised to open a window, which we did; but the noise from the city outside did not help us get a good night's sleep at all, and the room took a while to cool down enough to be able to sleep comfortably. This one issue---the extremely warm and uncomfortable room---is enough to make us not return to this hotel in the future.

Although I stayed at this hotel for only 12 hours, the room was quite spacious and confortable and equipped with everything I needed to stay for one night. As I needed to leave the hotel at 5am and could not have breakfast as it started being supplied from 6am. However, staying at this hotel was still worth the price.

Great stay, good location. Close to stop 7 on the trolley tour. It might be because of the state or hotel but the incidentals and resort fee are particularly higher than any other state we’ve travelled to. Something to be aware of if you’re an international tourist.

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.

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!
