Hotel berhampiran Simmons College, Boston

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.

It's connected to the mall, so can do everything without going outside. The facilities are a bit old, but room is spacious and the windows don't open. I highly praise Mr. Augustin(?) at the front desk. I'll never forget him kindly finding me a beer opener. I will definitely go again because of him:)

We were here for spring break and, as I always write here, it very much pays to be a Bonvoy elite member. Our titanium level unfailingly gets us upgrades and rooms on the upper floors as was the case on this stay. Views from the 30th floor are majestic. This was in a great location for us. Walkable to Boston Common and lots of food around. Check in is easy. They have the system where one comes in at street level and then up escalators/elevators to the lobby where we were quickly and efficiently checked in with very courteous service. Both the rooms we had on this reservation were delightful. Our mini-suite came replete with a large L-shaped sofa, plenty of space and a very comfortable king bed. I applaud Westin in particular, and Marriott in particular for installing large, purpose built showers in the ensuite bathroom. I love soaking in a tub BUT hate hotel rooms with a very shallow tub that is impossible to soak in, but has an over-the-tub shower. A purpose built shower is so much better so one isn't tripping getting in and out or constantly fighting with a clammy shower curtain. The shower in our room was excellent and large, fixed bottles of shower gel, shampoo and conditioner are also preferable to tiny bottles in my view. Bathroom lighting etc, all excellent. Our room had large windows, pull down blinds as well as thick curtains so it is easy to control the natural lighting you want. I don't watch TV but there is a large, wall mounted flat screen that looks great for those who do. The hotel has a large bank of very efficient elevators which I greatly appreciate. Never had to wait long even though the hotel was clearly busy. This may seem an obvious thing and is often taken for granted but I appreciate it when hotels get this right. Couple of things that annoy me at this level and, I admit these are minor and the bar is set very high when one stays somewhere like this. The first is the heating in our room which, though efficient, is very noisy when bringing the room up to temperature and required us to turn it off at night purely for noise reasons. This hotel also adheres to a practice I absolutely despise, although I know it is common enough these days and it's this: $25 added to your nightly bill per room, that gets charged whether or not you avail yourself of services like the Ingredients coffee/snack bar, or drinks in the Club, or room service. Don't use it? You lose it. In other words you get charged it regardless. I find this high handed and it ******s at me hugely and I end up making decisions like buying things I don't want or need simply because I will get hit with a $25 charge anyway. How do they justify this? If you want to extract another $25 from me per night, put it on the charge of the room rather than give me an ostensibly cheaper rate then hit me with a charge I can't avoid. This leaves a bad taste in my mouth and whenever I see it charged, often as a ”destination charge” or ”resort charge” it greatly irks me. Be pr

We booked the room for 4 with 2 bunk beds and shared bathroom. Perfect location a short walk to the train station. So convenient as there are ample bathrooms and is very close to our room. Perfect as the 4 of us can shower together at the same time. We have 3 large suitcase and there are enough space for it. Bed is soooo comfortable.

Service is very good , staff very friendly, allowing me to check in early and late check out. Shuttle service is convenient. Room is big and clean. I have a satisfying stay!

This is an excellent hotel. The hotel was clean and felt very safe. The staff were very nice and made us feel welcomed. The location is great if tou want to spend a few days in Boston. I would recommend this hotel and stay here again. It was a beautiful time of the year ti visit and the weather was unseasonably warm.

The hotel is located very close to China Town and Boston Common, within 15 min walk. Part of the Freedom trail is very close to Boston Common. It’s a bit far from Long Wharf area but still convenient to take a subway to go there. The distance to Farneuil Hall is within 30min walk. Overall it’s a good location. Clean and spacious room space. But the bathroom is the smallest ever Hilton hotel I had seen. The door is scratching the toilet bowl when you try to fully open it. The shower is very small too making it not a pleasant bathroom experience. Other than this, it’s a nice Hilton hotel.

這家是我這次周遊紐約、費城、華盛頓、尼亞加拉、波士頓的幾個城市中，舒適度最高的酒店。無論是前台還是行李房，工作人員敬業幽默，大廳的冰水和檸檬水隨時飲用，夏天旅遊不用擔心沒有飲用水。非常贊！！！

Right in the heart of the city, classic Bostonian restaurants nearby. Very friendly staff at reception and decent rooms. Nothing impressive but good place if you want to be in the city and still close to the airport (very easy to reach with the blue line). My pics are of nearby areas.

The hotel is about a 8 minute walk from JFK UMass T station; from there it’s quite convenient to get to downtown Boston. The room is clean and large, albeit the furnishings are a bit dated. The bed was comfortable and there was good chairs and furniture available for a couple to use. Didn’t try the breakfast or the cafe, but it seemed decent from what we could see.
