First class experience!
Pros:

My son and I had an amazing experience at the Godfrey hotel. The staff was exceptional. We had an amazing experience with one of the staff members named Arbon, who was very helpful and treated us very well. I would highly recommend this hotel as it is a very positive environment, and comfortable. We will definitely rebook here upon return to Boston.

Nice stay at the Godfrey
Pros:

Loved this hotel, was very clean, friendly. Doormen at all hours of the day, except night time which is ok! Let us keep our bags stored after we checked out and even warmed up our food while waiting for our departure.

Centrally located & friendly staff
Pros:

Godfrey was centrally located and close to everything Downtown. We had a rental car so it was easier to valet as there is no parking. The staff was extremely friendly. Arbon went out of his way to ensure his guests were happy & taken care of. We'd definitely stay again.

What a surprise!
Pros:

We had never stayed at a ‘boutique’ hotel before but this was a pleasant surprise. From the front desk who was always willing to hand out full-size bottles of water to the door men always welcoming you & wishing you a great day to the free snacks in your room that they would give you more of anytime you want?!?! Do all boutique hotels do this?!?! And of course the great location close to the Commons. We seriously had a great visit & would absolutely recommend to anyone.

Lovely, comfortable room - well equipped - great bathroom. Bed was extremely comfortable. Snacks and water provided every day. Always welcomed back to the hotel with a greeting and a smile.

Great hotel, great location and great staff especially Arbon.
Pros:

Our stay overall was wonderful. I can’t overstate how pleasant your staff was. Felt very welcome on arrival. Your bellman, Arbon, was incredible. He made us feel special each time we encountered him.
I rated it a 4 because of a couple of minor things. The closet in the room was not very accommodating plus the desk chair had ripped leather.
