I was expecting much more, especially paying what I paid for a room. The Godfrey felt not too dissimilar from a Hampton Inn.
My room was decent enough, but somehow expected to be staying on a high floor based on the online description of “Godfrey Lifestyle Rooftop.” I don’t know what that is supposed to mean; I certainly was nowhere near “the roof.” In fact, there was a good amount of street noise to contend with. I couldn’t change locations because “all the other rooms were occupied” according to the front desk staff. I shouldn’t have even had to ask in the first place. The front desk person suggested I could speak with management on the following day, but ultimately that became too inconvenient so I just stayed put. There was no shampoo or shower gel in my room, just conditioner and body lotion. I asked front desk staff to replenish and they gave me some in a bag to take upstairs. I usually don’t pack that anymore, expecting my hotel to at least have that amenity.
All in all, I was pretty underwhelmed and would definitely not recommend The Godfrey, when there are other options that are even more convenient to Michigan Avenue and downtown. Way too expensive for what it was. It also seemed to be teeming with 20-somethings.
