The Godfrey Hotel Boston
The lobby is gorgeous but, for the price, the state of the rooms is very basic. It's perfectly clean, and if not for the price it would be fine, but it's touted as a luxury hotel and the the room was not luxury.

The Revolution Hotel
Nice location, quiet street next to many good back bay restaurants/bars. Stylish hotel. The room was on the smaller side with no refrigerator or microwave.
