Isn't the Westin Waterfront way over near the Convention Center? It is not easy to get from there to the financial district, and there is very little to do in the area itself.

Back to report that the 9 Zero was a great place top stay.

Good service and clean, comfy and stylish rooms. I stayed on the 11th floor which so happens to be allergy/smoke free.

I stayed in a premium room (no view) that had nice duvets, down pillows, a nice walk in marble shower, a magnifier (was actually able to put mascara on)a nice robe, TV and a CD/radio. Pretty much everything I needed in a great walking location.

I was about a 5 minute walk from my seminar on Broad St. (Financial District) which I did on all but my last day b/c I was loaded up with goodies from shopping. Although I didn't have much time I was around the corner from DSW, Macy's and Filene's basement.

I was also 2 minutes away from the 9 Park restaurant - great food, not too pricey considering. I ate in the cafe side - 3 oysters on the half shell, a beautiful glass of wine, a complimentary dish with asparagus, tomato and candied onions and gnocchi with lobster and peas topped with a truffle sauce - It was so good, best of all my bill came to 44 USD. Not bad for Boston and directly accross from the Commons.

The hotel was also 1 minute from a 7 eleven where I purchased water as the teeny bottles in the fridge were quite exp. Room service food was actually not too bad. Got a burger for 12. and eggs benedict for 11. Coffee and tea was published as free and was not avail. Typo in literature. When I pointed this out to the front desk they sent me a nice tea set up each day - complimentary.

9 Zero lived up to the noted 4 stars. Will stay again and try the in house KO restaurant.
