The Godfrey was an exceptional hotel experience where we never had to touch a door to enter the lobby! They have wonderful staff ready to open doors for you and front office personnel we rarely had to wait for when we had questions about directions to places to eat or sites to see. The cleaning staff was invisible, but thorough, and took great care of our room. This was truly a lovely experience with the most amazing, friendly, and helpful staff at any establishment I’ve ever had the pleasure of spending time at. Special kudos to the doorman with the long braids (dreds?) and the front office assistant from Albania. Great job, management - your team seems happy.

Very friendly people at this hotel!

The guy at the bar from Serbia was great! I think his name was Ardie. He was very personable and told us a lot about the area. Tyrell was very nice as well. The guys at the door, the staff at check-in even the lady had a teathat cleaned our room everyone was super friendly.

It was always a crowded lobby because of the attached coffee shop. Difficult to find calm seating. Also the “candy bar” was for - short period.

Perfect location.

The location was perfect! Almost everything tourist attraction wise was within walking distance. Only had to take a train 2 spectate time to travel to Fenway Park and the Sam Adam’s Brewery. The ony downside to the location was that trash pick up happens almost every weekday at 5am and will wake you up.

This property was GREAT!! The property was very clean and well maintained, the lobby smells nothing short of amazing. Very walkable, attended a concert at TD garden and the distance was perfect. My only complaint was is the TV. When you turn it on it shows all these apps you can sign into (netflix, hulu, spotify, etc) but it wasnt available for use, you could only watch basic tv. For the price of the rooms im not sure its too much to ask for to log into my own netflix account that i pay for! Overall great place and this will be my go to for future boston trips!
