We really enjoyed our stay here! The staff was super friendly and made us feel welcome right away. Our room was spacious with lots of natural light, which we loved. The bar attendant was great too- very friendly and fun to chat with. Breakfast was simple but convenient: danishes, oatmeal packets, bagels, premade sandwiches, and boiled eggs in the fridge. There’s a toaster and microwave if you want to warm things up. Just a heads-up, don’t expect the usual hotel spread with waffles, pancakes, or scrambled eggs. :) The location was awesome- restaurants are just a short walk away. Parking was easy too, with the hotel’s lot just a block over, and we felt safe walking back and forth. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely stay here again!

False advertising that you would see the Harbor from the window. We saw solar panels instead.Your frontdesk people are kind and efficient. Steve is especially keen to our needs. Thank him again for us. We will be visiting New Bedford again but will find another Hotel.Maybe one with a harbor view!!

Stayed here for one night, pictures online looked nice however our room was dirty. The bathroom and shower felt dingy. There was hair on the shower walls, the bathroom sink was dirty. In the room the floors were dirty. Also- what king size bed doesn’t have king size pillows???

Convenient to ferry. Kitchen & bar closed most of our stay. Morning breakfast was lacking, no hot items unless you microwave a bad breakfast sandwich.

The hotel is unique—not a cookie cutter, generic kind of set up. That said, while our room was clean and comfortable, it was jammed so tightly with furniture in a too small space that it was difficult to get around the bed. There was not enough room for our suitcases to not be in the way.
