Great location and the staff couldn’t be nicer to deal with. The rooms are small and parking is expensive but that was expected. Really would have liked an in room fridge. Overall a great experience.

The Godfrey staff was amazing!! The room was clean and spacious and when they found out it was my boyfriend and I’s anniversary they gave us champagne and a written note. They recommended places in the area to go and answered all questions. Our urban fee included all the snacks and stuff in the room, a free drink at the bar, access to the gym, and so much more. This is my first written review but wanted to say I will definitely come back!!

Great property, friendly attentive staff. Good facilities with free snacks and water in the room. Free welcome drink on arrival from the bar and the bed was extremely comfortable. Good shower also. Location is very central. Only negative was a lot of homeless people in the general area.

The Godfrey was incredible as far as cleanliness & super friendly staff. The only thing that would make it over the top is higher bed height & more comfortable bed linens. The only “bad” part is the noise from the subway that runs underneath which is absolutely no fault of the Godfrey. It is just a nuisance part of city life, however, if you are not a heavy sleeper, find somewhere without the train running beneath.

Great hotel in the theater district

Went here for a little weekend getaway and it was perfect. It’s in an awesome part of downtown Boston that’s super walkable. Loved how spacious the room was and how comfy the bed was. Access to free snacks and being able to bring our dog was also great. All of the staff were great too, especially the doormen and the bartender Tarrel (really hope I spelt his name right!) . Overall loved staying and can’t wait to come back.
