Convenient to Downtown
The room was clean, comfortable bed, and had plenty of outlets and USB ports to charge all our devices. The bathroom was clean, lots of space, with a modern glass shower, however, the water pressure in the shower was very low.

The front desk staff was so friendly and helpful. They let me check in early with no extra charge. Location in downtown New Bedford is incredible. The room was clean and quiet, with a comfy bed. The windows open (only a few inches, for safety, of course), which I love. My only criticism is that the description of the room as having a “harbor view” is…generous. I could see a little bit of water, but….

Check is was supposed to be 4. I did request early check in. Room wasn’t ready till after 5.
Toilet wasn’t clean. “Stuff on the seat. Sink wouldn’t drain. I’ve stayed at this hotel every summer the last five years. It seems to have gone down hill since the last stay. Don’t think I’ll stay again.

Beautiful historic hotel in New Bedford, MA
It was a beautiful old hotel in town (New Bedford). That gave it a lot of character integrated with the room being updated nicely with modern conveniences. I was on the 5th floor and had a great view of the city and partially of the harbor. My daughter and her husband-to-be live a couple blocks away. Because they have off street parking, I left my car there and they picked me up during my stay for Mother’s Day weekend. That was an inconvenience to work around. However, area is very walkable to a number of restaurants. I did enjoy my room and would consider staying in this hotel during their wedding next year!

Everything was great except some other guest made some awful comments about me and my girlfriend I enjoyed my stay but because of how I was treated by those guests I probably won’t be back. The general manger was a delight and pleasure to meet.
