Great location, free parking although a five minute walk away, bed was wicked comfortable. My room did not have a full length mirror, we were there for a wedding, so that was a little bit disappointing. My daughter’s room had one so we just use that. I stayed for two days but they contacted me one day after I got home saying I needed to pay more money cause I was there for three days when I was only there for two nights. But they corrected it. I would stay there again.
Defintely off season: rate and amenities. Think hotal was almost empty mid week and few staff. Hotel had a relaxed vibe. But the room was good, the bed comfortable

We had a wonderful time. The museums were fantastic, restaurants were excellent and the room was great.
Stayed forb4 nights during New Year’s holiday and had a great time. The location was amazing right downtown near the water and all the activities. The room was clean and included a nice breakfast in the morning. The lobby was really nice and had a full bar. We’ll definitely stay again in future trips to New Bedford.
Lovely hotel in an old building. Perfect location a few blocks from the waterfront. Staff were super nice and even allowed us to store our bikes inside the ballroom. Would absolutely stay there again.
Clean, smaller room with comfortable bed. Older hotel in downtown area, very quiet on weekend, except for some loud cars. A few cute restaurants, brewery and large arcade walkable.
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.
A re-furbished older building.
Good locale for central NB...courts, administrative offices.
Breakfast was standard, pre-packaged muffins, cold cereals, fresh fruits.
