The Godfrey Hotel Boston
Surprised that The Godfrey has such high ratings. Great location. Inside it’s fine, but kind of generic and nowhere near as nice as I expected from the photos. The worn condition of the desk chair was a sign of not caring about details. I would stay again with lower expectations.

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.

The Langham, Boston
There were bags of garbage outside our window. Disappointed there was no high tea served while touting high tea in a book for sale at the front desk. No mini bar in the room. Requires room service.

Four Points by Sheraton Boston Newton
Having to pay 20 person is absolutely ridiculous. Plus 20 for parking. 2 a piece for a can of soda. Beds were very uncomfortable. Getting woke up very early morning hours because of the noise in the hallway. Will never stay there again or recommend.
