The hotel

In the thriving Seaport District, this feature-packed hotel’s just steps from one of neighbourhood’s biggest draws, The Lawn on D. The outside comes indoors at The Westin Boston Seaport District too, with its lobby greeting you with natural stone and wood, a vertical garden, and leafy trees. Delve deeper and you’ll find 3 bars and restaurants, each sharing its own take on all-American dining: there’s the contemporary slant at Sauciety, the Irish-American pub twist at MJ O’Connor’s, American grill favourites at Birch Bar, plus a full-service Starbucks for your caffeine fix. When you’ve had your fill of the food, the Westin’s Laugh Boston comedy club presents local and national acts.

Image of the Tripadvisor rating Worst experience I ever had

This was by far the worst and most outdated hotel I’ve ever stayed in. The entire property felt old, dusty, and worn out. On top of that, they mislead guests with scam-like practices. For example, they gave us two $30 coupons for the restaurant, which we assumed meant $60 of food credit. At checkout, however, we were charged the full $60 plus tax… Read more
This was by far the worst and most outdated hotel I’ve ever stayed in. The entire property felt old, dusty, and worn out. On top of that, they mislead guests with scam-like practices. For example, they gave us two $30 coupons for the restaurant, which we assumed meant $60 of food credit. At checkout, however, we were charged the full $60 plus tax and fees, even though we didn’t use the entire amount. To make things worse, they tacked on an additional $12 “tax and service fee.” The hotel is severely overpriced for the lack of quality. Parking was a nightmare — the garage was dark, dirty, and smelled awful, with barely any lighting. Finding a spot took hours, yet they still charged $50 per day for parking. The breakfast was equally disappointing: bland, minimal options, and not worth it. The staff were unfriendly and unprofessional throughout our stay. The room conditions were unacceptable. It was dirty, the shower curtain had blood stains, the sink was cracked and clogged, and the overall upkeep was terrible. If I could rate this hotel below zero, I would. Save your money and stay far away. Read less

Great and beautiful hotel. Staff is knowledgeable and kind. The biggest problems: the parking garage is a mess. We paid for our spot, but the room card we were given to exit did not work and say it did not recognize it. We were stuck until an employee helped us out.

Great and beautiful hotel. Staff is knowledgeable and kind. The biggest problems: the parking garage is a mess. We paid for our spot, but the room card we were given to exit did not work and say it did not recognize it. We were stuck until an employee helped us out. Next, the key card itself for the rooms is strange. Mine would not open the door despite me pushing hard on it after scanning. The last thing is the hotel is so confusing to navigate around. I would suggest more signs showing where the elevators, garage, and other places are. Read less

Service was so quick like lightning, we came a little late but our waitress came and our kids wanted orange juice and it came 5 seconds later. Our waitress Sofia Xiao was so joyful and kind food was delicious. 5 stars 👍
