Omni Parker House

10/10 Excellent

"."

The Westin Copley Place, Boston, a Marriott Hotel

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel centrally located and easy to access (circular driveway which is easy when you drive or call a service). Valets were helpful and really prompt considering how large and busy the garage was (you can only valet - no self park). The first time you use the elevators was confusing, but after that initial interaction, it was intuitive. The room was large and comfortable, not that many amenities (I like slippers to use since I don't like walking on the carpet in socks/bare feet) but none were provided. But luckily I brought a pair myself. The view was beautiful from the room was beautiful (river) and we were lucky to have sunny days while there. You can easily access the mall via pedestrian bridges, and so close to Newbury Street and the garden. Staying here made me reminisce about being back in college again. When we return to Boston I will stay here again."
