The Godfrey Hotel Boston
Room was very clean, but didn’t have refrigerator so had to request one. They had a nice cafe down here n the lobby. Rooms have complimentary snacks & bottled water. I would definitely return and stay at the Godfrey due to its central location.

The Midtown Hotel MOD Collection by Sonesta
This is a great no frills spot which gives you what you need and doesn't charge for what you don't. Our room was clean, amazingly quiet ( we had 2nd flr rear) and the bed was comfortable. Bathroom was small but very clean and the shower was great. Breakfast was just coffee and pre- packaged pastry ...
