I had a great stay at The Godfrey with its wonderful location near Boston Common and the Freedom Trail. The rooms were modern and exceptionally clean, providing a comfortable atmosphere. However, the king room was a bit small for working. Overall, it's a fantastic choice for exploring the city, though if you need a spacious area to work, this might not be ideal.
