Very convenient location, close to everything. The room was of a nice size and super clean! There is a nice coffee shop right at the lobby, try their lemon cake! There is a nice diner style cafe next door and the area is very nice in general during the day and evening.

Great location, staff & rooms. We had (3) rooms for our family & all of us were happy with everything. Front desk personnel were very helpful & on top of their game. We stored our luggage till rooms were ready & we received text & calls when our room was ready for our return. Everything was within walking distance if your are up to walking. Rooms were larger than a lot of older Hotels & bathroom / shower was larger too.

We arrived really early from our cruise and just wanted to stow our bags but our room was ready. Lovely size room with a superbly comfortable bed. We asked for a quiet room and heard no noise at all.Room 630. Fantastic location. It was a nice touch to have a snack basket. Flat charger for the iphone. High quality toiletries and powerful shower. Not given 5stars as no breakfast, too few hangers and no tourist info in the lobby.

Hotel is conveniently located minutes from Boston Common. Rooms are clean and well stocked, albeit a bit cozy size-wise. Street noise was loud in our second floor room, but it died off by midnight and wasn't an issue overnight. Lots of little perks - bikes for use, snacks and water in rooms, and flavored water machine in the hallway. Great for keeping hydrated doing the tourist thing. Coffee shop downstairs convenient and super popular!

The Godfrey was a wonderful choice - location was great, there is a perfect coffee shop attached, as well as breakfast spot, restaurants and bars in close proximity. Attractions are nearby and very walkable as well.

The Godfrey delivers on taking itself seriously. Every employee I met during my stay was very kind and very helpful no matter their job description. The rooms are nice and housekeeping is very thorough with keeping them that way. I would honestly say the staff makes this hotel a quality experience.

My husband and I ended our New England trip with a few days in Boston and stayed at the Godfrey. Location could not have been better. It was a value for the quality of the room. If I had one suggestion, would like to have had someone available in the lobby with tour info or suggestions. We did ask and received some tour info via s folder but it provided little information. Thankfully the Visitor Center was located relatively close. We would not hesitate to stay at the Godfrey again.

It was a bit of a risk because we knew NOTHING about the hotel but we had the most WONDERFUL experience! The minute we arrived and were warmly greeted by Arbon we just knew we’d be cared for here. Arbon, again, organized all our luggage and inspite of a minor hiccup at the front desk - which the staff quickly & kindly resolved - had all our luggage delivered to the rooms. Our room was CLEAN & QUIET! Everything worked great including the TV! Upon leaving , Ardon was ready with all kinds of help and information including checking our luggage with a scale to help ease our worries about Wright restrictions! He even ordered a Shuttle to the airport for us. ( We can’t say ENOUGH about him !!) Stay here!

Was celebrating my birthday. I put the don’t disturb on the door. I got a knock on the door at 8:30am from a man who worked there, so I open door in my robe and he told me the front desk sent him to ask me when I’m checking out. I told him I’ll check out when the maximum time is allowed. He told me 12pm, so I said then I am checking out a 12pm! I asked if all is ok, he said yes. Then 15min later I get a call from the front desk to my room asking me the same and if I will be checking out soon?? Why am I being disturbed well before even check out time??

We stayed at the Godfrey for four nights to spend some time exploring the area. Boston has so much history we'd loved to have stayed longer so will definitely be back! The Godfrey staff are welcoming and efficient, the room had everything we needed. We were very comfortable. The hotel is not far from Boston Commons, and easy walking to many points of interest.
