Came here for our anniversary. LOVED THIS PLACE! Bunch of restaurants are nearby and walking distance. The staff are extremely friendly. They made us feel welcomed. This place is a whole vibe. You can bring in records to play in your room. We will be back for sure
This hotel is a must stay! I LOVED how the lobby smelled, every time you walk in there it smells so relaxing like a spa. Customer service was amazing! Janelle was wonderful. She recommended a few spots for breakfast, we tried out pink tacos, it was delicious. Janelle did everything in her power to make our stay a memorable one. The room was gorgeous, the views are spectacular, the bed was so comfortable. I loved the idea of the tv stand. The roof top is really nice. I wish it would be a little higher but well not much we could do about that. The atmosphere is great, they have great music, pretty bar but I wish they had more items on the menu. The menu felt limited and it was expensive. I found it more of a cool place to hangout. All in all the Envoy is a 10/10 for me.
Very beautiful and elegant hotel near the bay. The rooms are huge, luxurious, and the service is impeccable. Food was a set course meal, presented nicely, and delicious. The palm trees are a visual delight. We enjoyed a night swim during our stay. The staff members are commendable for their courteousness, too. Highly recommended!
Stumbled across this hotel and so happy we did. Lovely area, immaculate accommodations, quiet. The king luxe was so spacious and had great views. Will be back again!
Do your research before booking. This is a boutique hotel and the rooms are going to be smaller. I've stayed here twice now. Loved it both times. Rooms are perfect size for you and a friend. Loved our view, love the shower and bathroom. The rooms are clean and modern and the service from the staff is great. They can joke with you and are so helpful! Will likely stay again!
I cannot express enough just how charming this little hotel is! The room is small, but honestly, how much time are you really spending in your room while visiting a big city? It was perfect. The bed was so comfortable that I didn’t want to get up and around in the morning. The staff was so kind to my dog, providing him with a dog bed, food/water bowls, poop bags/holder, and showering him with treats and becoming his instant best friends. Thank you for a lovely stay!
Excellent staff and service! The receptionist was also friendly and helpful with anything my group needed. Their attention to COVID safety protocols was great as well. They also keep your luggage if needed (like I checked out on time and left my luggage there for a bit after).
My room was the queen room with the bathroom in the room. The room itself was not anything exceptional. My view was of a building and there was no microwave/fridge. However, the low price and relatively good location made up for it. If you want something better, you have to pay for it. So if you're looking for a budget option, this is a great hotel to stay at.
Wonderful service! A great experience all around. Beautiful room with fresh flowers, one and a half baths, and a luxurious sitting area. Amazing attention to detail and even better breakfast!
A well decorated and comfortable room. The local art that is on display around the property is a really nice touch.
Our only complaint is the $20/day facility fee that you get charged on top of the room rate. That should be included in the booking price...we probably would have booked a different hotel had we known about this fee beforehand.
Great hotel! Beautiful architecture and great room and location. My only negative would be the provided shampoo and conditioner, did not smell very good
The Godfrey Hotel is modern, clean and stylish. The hotel immediately presents itself as a sheek, high-end and comforting place to stay - this was a pleasant discovery given the price point was more than modest. Upon entering, the bellhop and concierge are genuinely helpful, friendly and professional. The rooms impeccably maintained and clean. We stayed a night with our two young children in a double queen, corner suite. The view of the theater district from our bed was magazine worthy, and certainly a fun feature of the room. We're excited to stay at The Godfrey Hotel for our next city trip.
Small Rooms, beautiful bathroom. Very clean.. But the view could be better. (Paid extra for a better view) Friendly people at the front desk, and the bartender was really nice and made really good drinks. I would definitely stay there again when they open their rooftop.
Great location in Cambridge. Staff/concierge was quite accommodating and kind. The property overall had a warm ambiance and very clean. I'd definitely recommend to anyone staying in the Cambridge area.
We have stayed at the North Station location 3 times now and each time has been great. Check in is seamless - you check yourself in on a kiosk, which then assigns you a room and allows you to make your own keys. There’s always staff around if you need help with the process. Elevators to the rooms can only be accessed via room card which I like. Keeps everything secure.
The rooms are on the smaller side but cozy and comfortable, and really modern. Very clean! The bed is quite possibly the most comfortable hotel bed I’ve ever slept in, in 30 years of travel. Seriously, come here for the bed alone. I also love that everything is controlled by the iPad, so I don’t have to get out of bed when I inevitably forget to shut the lights out.
We just had a staycation to celebrate our Anniversary as a family. From the moment we checked in, the staff went above and beyond to give us a special experience. The rooms were lovely and so clean. We look forward to many more visits to the Loews.
Only reason I gave out four stars is because....for the price, I don't want to watch antennae television. Everything else was AMAZING though! The view! The different types of style throughout the hotel! The pool! The staff! AMAZING! So responsive. Helpful. Nice.
Beautiful, spacious room, great location on Comm Ave. The decor throughout the hotel is tastefully done with a perfect amount of Red Sox memorabilia. However, what made the stay perfect was the amazing service! Nick, at the front desk, is the type of employee every establishment wish they could have. Super friendly, accommodating, knowledgeable, warm and welcoming. He really made us feel like a good friend was welcoming us to his home. I would 100% recommend a stay!!
