The property was stated a harbor view which we paid extra for snd it was a pickaboo view between downtown buildings. The rooms are okay, they felt old but we only stayed one night which was fine.

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….

Nice hotel with friendly front desk staff. Beds were comfortable and it was a weekend so there was plenty of street parking. Continental breakfast was limited but sufficient. My only negative would be the lack of soundproofing with the windows. It was almost as if the windows were open based on the amount of noise coming in. Thankfully at night the area around the hotel was pretty quiet.

Location in the center of New Bedford was a plus. Free parking on the street after 9pm and all weekend. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Live music in the lobby upon arrival on Thursday night was a bonus.

I stayed in a corner room. It was extremely small and plain. The noise outside was deafening. It was hard to get to sleep. The breakfast was just bagels, mini muffins and danishes. Parking was a couple of blocks away. Did not feel comfortable leaving my car there

Good, but disappointed in lack of communication

Always have had a good stay over the years at this spot and it was still great this recent time but unfortunately I lost a shirt of mine that I never got back. I called about two hours after checking out and was pretty confident I would get it back after speaking to the front desk worker who told me they’re normally able to get lost and found items back to their owners. Called the day after, still nothing. Two weeks went by, I assumed they forgot, called again, and I was told they never found it. I just wish I received a call back, regardless of them finding it or not, rather than having to follow up myself.

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!

Room was on the smaller side. We went to restaurant and no one came to our table, only to find out they didn’t have waiters. Our reservation stayed the hotel had room service so we decided to go and order instead, to find out it was a misprint on our reservation and they do not have room service. Breakfast was lukewarm coffee and a bagel, a bit disappointed in the whole experience.

Sunday morning, Continental breakfast was poorly maintained. No regular coffee, had to ask for a knife, sign offering kitchen options without a attendee. Love the location for a The Vault concert even though it is street parking.
