No parking on site. No pre warning that the bar and restaurant will be closed. We are in a large storm and expected to venture out to find somewhere to eat. Room dirty with someone’s dorito’s on the floor. Noise from outside loud as windows are not adequately glazed. Apparently breakfast will be in a bag to collect in the morning.
Crisps on floor under bed.

Housekeeping never came to clean the room or empty trash or change towels for the five days there. Had to empty trash and leave near the housekeeping cart. Left dirty towels in the cart as well. Linen closet was on our floor and open so we selected the towels we needed on a daily basis.

It is a very cute hotel, quaint rooms, has a very historic feel about it. On street parking has been very convenient in the times that I have stayed there. The only challenge is at the check-in. It hasn’t been a very friendly staff. They seem tired and removed, because each day I’ve done it late at night. On my last day they had overbooked the hotel, even though I had prepaid for my room. The young man working the front desk was relatively new and seemed pretty overwhelmed. His answer was nothing I can do, but I can issue a refund. Midnight in New Bedford there wasn’t a whole lot of other options. I asked them to call a manager, and the manager essentially relayed the same message. I asked him to call the next higher person who essentially said give us the room because we were there in the next one with the reservation won’t have a room. I appreciate you getting the room, but didn’t feel very good about it. The whole process took almost an hour and at that hour at night. It wasn’t very enjoyable

Wonderful location with eady walking through out the historical district and waterfront. Plenty of dining opportunities. Value for the stay was exceptional. Free parking for the hotel just a two block distance. Continental breakfast and lobby bar appreciated. ALL staff were happy and attentive. We will stay here again.
