The Westin has a shuttle. As of Boskone 49, it ran between the hotel and Faneuil Hall in the early evening. More details about the shuttle will be available closer to the con.
The hotel rates are $44 a day for valet parking, $34 a day for self parking.
There is cheaper parking over the weekend in lots nearby.
The Boat Show is running Saturday and Sunday this weekend, so the convention center lot should be open. However, that also means parking will be tricky this weekend (on top of the snowdrifts), so take extra time.
