The Godfrey Hotel Boston

10/10 Excellent

"Would absolutely stay here again. The hotel was perfectly located near train stations, and walking distance from almost all tourist attractions. Staff was amazing!"

Sheraton Boston, a Marriott Hotel

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel, comfortable bed. Little pricey, and valet parking is just outrageous! I am Marriott member, but unless I book with them I don't get my rewards like wifi. Good to know, because I would sweat they are blockingy cell service to make you get the wifi. No thanks. We had dinner after baseball game. We ordered the ribeye wiu mushrooms and polenta. The food was good, expect the steak. We have had better at the roadhouse and outback. No flavor, not cooked medium rare at all. It was dry and flavorless, that cost way to much. I would NOT recommend trying it at all. I called for a cart, Ms unley you want them to load it they won't bring one... Well ok then. Never ever HAVE I HAD THAT ISSUE at any Marriott we have stayed at. We are perfectly capable of loading our own cart. Geesh. The used the text line to get our car.. have them 30 minutes. Came down NO CAR. They said did you call?? Um, NO the card said text when needed. Other than these issues the room was clean, the bed was nice and we only stayed one night. Not sure will return to this hotel next trip. Very disappointed, falls short of others we have stayed at. All and had to book two nights because they couldn't guarantee us an early check in, then they emailed me the day before and said it was available. Yeah ok, thank you for that."
