I liked the Godfrey instantly because they upgraded me to a bigger room (just random upgrade based on the fact that I had come from far away). I had a great night's sleep, and I like the little touches like the cocoa at night available for all guests. Great location near downtown crossing, and in the middle of a big shopping area. They even weighed my luggage for me.
Honestly, I had a very comfortable stay in the hotel. The room felt a bit cool at times, but I had a great sleep, and I probably could have found a way to make it warmer if I really needed to. The major problem with any Boston and/or NY hotel are the taxes and fees that get slapped on to your hotel price, after you thought you scored a big deal on booking.com. But that's not really the hotel's fault (it's Taxachussetts).
