A nice, up-scale, boutique hotel, right there at Downtown Crossing. Clean and comfortable. The "interior rooms", where your windows basically point to a noisy alley are not the most desirable, but not that big of a deal.

Staff was extremely nice and accommodating. Room was very clean and comfortable. A little loud as to street noise but after 10 it was very quiet and it is in a city after all. Would definitely recommend staying here. Close to public transportation and historical sites.

Excellent service and planning amidst flooding and broken elevators Mar 2024 I stayed at the Godfrey one night during my five day stay in March and upon arrival, was met with some well-handled chaos. The 5th floor had flooded a few hours earlier due to a broken sprinkler and had created flooding on that floor as well as the need to shut down all elevators. Unfortunately, this was also a stay where two weeks ago I fractured my lower back, still recovering and although able to walk, unable to lift. The staff anticipated it would take hours potentially for the elevators to reopen for safety reasons and wanted to make sure the flood was cleaned up and all clear before assigning rooms to guests underneath the 5th floor. The staff was very kind--a concierge named Arbon personally saved my day and volunteered to carry my suitcase up 11 floors for me just so I could get to my room and be comfortable because of my fracture. He was kind, encouraged us to take breaks and had a brilliant sense of humor. It definitely took the torture of the climb away and restored my faith in acts of kindness. Overall, the entire staff made me feel welcomed and I loved my room. Very spacious lot of nice amenities.

Very clean, great room, comfortable beds, terrific staff. We circled the block three times to find the hotel because signage is very dark and there is no large outside banner to easily see the hotel location, especially at night. We arrived in late evening and were very disappointed to find no hotel restaurant and no room service. Most excellent nearby restaurants were getting ready to close at 10 pm. We found a pub around the corner that served good food.

Our stay here was quite nice till the end which was not the hotels fault but the fire alarm went off and was said to be a false alarm but when we headed back to our room the hotel was flooding all the way down the staircase to the lobby i felt so bad for the housekeepers, but we rushed to grab our stuff and exit as soon as possible ended up forgettimg a few things but things happen

This location was a great location! Lots of bars and food and places to shop all within walking distance. Top notch service someone always opening the door for you they were so nice. Front desk super nice. Hotel was clean. Got a complimentary wine and lots of snacks and water. Bed was comfy. Only thing I would say is late at night there is a lot of homeless in the area. They seem to leave you alone and this hotel does have security and is locked at night. During the day they seem to not be around.

The only thing that I was confused about was I was under the impression I would have a mini fridge in the room which I didn’t. It’s not the biggest deal in the world because I just used ice in the bathroom sink, but still a little annoying. Mini fridges are listed under the amenities for the room I stayed in. Overall it was a good stay and I’d stay there again.

It was our first time being at The Godfrey, and it won't be our last. We absolutely enjoyed our stay, from its location, the staff, the service, and the rooms. We love that they're so close to the T line (Orange), which made getting around the city so convenient. There are a ton of shopping and dining options. They also give you free drinks at their small bar, which is a nice gesture. We were also able to leave our luggage after checking out as our flight was late evening. Overall, they made our stay wonderful and very enjoyable. Just another reason why we love visiting Boston.
