Pepperell Vacations from ￥395,230

clean and great staff

Safe, friendly staff, garage discount, great location. Easy check in and check out.

The staff were all super friendly and helpful.We did valet our car for 3 nights which was expensive ($60/night) but parking in Boston stinks anywhere and the valet was convenient so we didn't have to drive around looking for a garage.There is also a $40/night "hotel" fee which I know the city puts onto the bill but it is a bit ridiculous money grab. Our room (813) was a nice corner room. We loved the night light in the bathroom under the mirror that was red and on a motion sensor. The shower was clean, with a strong shower head. I'm 6'2" and fit in the shower with ease. The room also had a safe and the service was great. My kids LOVED the fact that snacks and water were included. They are so programmed to never eat anything in the room. There were bikes available in the lobby but my 12 year old was a little nervous riding in the bike lanes so we just walked everywhere. We picked the Godfrey because of it's central location and proximity to Boston Commons. You are near Cheers, the Freedom trail and subway. We walked to Fenway for a game because it was so nice outside (35 minutes) and took the subway back after the game. My only complaint would be the placement of the mini-fridge. It was right next to one of the beds where you lay your head to sleep so it would turn on/off all night. It was loud enough to be quite annoying to the person sleeping in that spot. If they could put it inside of piece of furniture or move it away from the bed that would help.

Gorgeous hotel in a fabulous location. Highly recommend!

The overall experience was good. Staff was very amiable. The room was clean. I thought the rate we paid was outrageous, but unfortunately comparable to other hotels on the area. One thing I fail to understand is how a hotel with 8 floors (unknown number of rooms) finds it ok to have 26 chairs for their breakfast buffet. Further, when trays of hot food run out, it isn't replaced on a timely manner. The reason I choose Holiday Inn in large part is because of their breakfast. I was a bit disappointed this time. Other than that, it was a comfortable stay.
