Public transit: Silver Line (SL1) via South Station
From any Logan terminal, board the free Massport shuttle buses to the Logan Airport terminals' busway and take the MBTA Silver Line SL1 (the SL1 van/bus that serves all terminals) directly to South Station. The Silver Line ride from the airport to South Station is free from the terminals.
From South Station it's a roughly 8–10 minute walk to The Godfrey Hotel Boston, or you can transfer to the Red Line (one stop to Downtown Crossing) for a shorter walk. Check MBTA schedules for current service times.

Another option is the free Massport shuttle from terminals to Airport Station on the MBTA Blue Line. From Airport Station take the Blue Line to Government Center or State, then walk or transfer to Green/Red lines to reach Downtown Crossing.
This route can take longer than the Silver Line depending on connections, but it provides a direct subway option and can be useful if your terminal is closest to the Blue Line shuttle stop.
- Pros: covered subway travel, good if weather is poor.
- Cons: requires a shuttle to Airport Station and one or more transfers; more time-consuming with luggage.
- Tip: plan for about 20–30 minutes depending on wait times and transfers.
