Partner Reviews: The W Boston Hotel
-
You can have the full menu at the bar with Adam. Much more fun and he is very friendly! -
Market delivers room service--best way to have amazing food and get work done! Gym is also quite nice. -
Valet/Parking is $46/day!!? -
-
Filet fine, striped bass AMAZING #crowdsourcing menu -
Beautiful, sleek, and ultra-modern rooms. Ask for a high floor corner suite and you won't be disappointed! I asked for something with " romance" and they did a rose petal turndown at night...no charge -
If you stay here ask for as higher room as possible. The road outside is incredibly noisy in the evening. -
Great modern style in the rooms -
Don't get really drunk and then eat all the food in the mini-bar. #oops #50bucks -
It's trendy and wicked crowded around the bar -
-
Love W hotels... great Lounge area to have a drink and relax -
Beware!! It's unstated, but valet pkg is $44!!!!!! -
Check out the floor mats in the elevator. The greeting changes based on the time of day! -
The hotel staff's service has been amazing. Market has an great shrimp salad-but service is sloooow. -
Have Gabe park your car. He's the best valet! :) -
Club sodas are $5! -
The food here is AWESOME! Market or room service, it's phenomenal, way better than any other chain hotel for sure -
Great burgers. Food come right now. But no fries for $15?! -
Great service! Love staying here! -
Burger is good a littel on the$$$ side but good. -
Horrible corporate sales group
Wanted to rent my loft out, buy a new spot in the W Boston, had made contacts with the rep's two years ago, and then waited till it was finished recently. I then made another attempt to get a walk through and put a deposit on a layout or space i liked, but no one returned my emails/calls, and I had checked back 2 or 3 times. Had the cash ready to go, really a joke, as people have been begging one like me with interest to buy property right now to look at their real estate, and the W just leaves me chuckling.
Market restaurant
The first week W Hotel was open in our neighborhood we were so excited and couldn’t wait to have dinner at famous Jean George’s “Market.” We promised ourselves not to be disappointed if our first experience wasn’t great, since many things can go wrong when new business opens. However, we had the best time! Food was spectacular, service was outstanding, and atmosphere was wonderful. This weekend we decided to repeat our experience and made a reservation. When we were entering the outer door of the restaurant a big unfriendly security guy rushed to us and closed the doors in front of us. I was trying to explain to him that we had a dinner reservation. Big guy got closer to me and yelled in my face 4 words – name, time of reservation; then he stepped back inside to check on our reservation. We waited outside for a couple minutes until the big guy came back and let us in without saying anything. Unfortunately, we weren’t lucky enough. We were a little late and just missed the 15 minute window that Market holds reservations so the hostess said she cannot help us tonight. I looked around and saw at least 5 open tables in the room, so I asked for a manager. He came over and nicely promised to sit us in 10-15 minutes. We felt horrible, we never complain and never ask manager to help us solve the problem… if we are not happy, usually we leave, since there are many nice restaurants in Boston. Well, that night I thought if we leave, we won’t come back any time soon. So we decided to forget about the rocky start and just have a good time. While we were waiting for our table the same big security guy was walking back and forth and we were definitely on his way. In order to get away from Mr. Security I proposed we get a drink at the bar while we wait for the table. The big guy followed us and pointed to the exit. He was rude, very big and very important. We gave up and left. The security guy spoiled the experience at Market, and I’m pretty sure we weren’t only people who he treated poorly. Needless to say we are not going back. I thought we were going to the nice restaurant; instead it felt like we were battling the velvet rope, bouncer and icy front desk of a nightclub.
