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.

It is average Hotel; room is small. Breakfast in terrible.
Only the location is closed to everything.
We booked the king room with a harbor view. The room, on the top floor, had a beam ceiling with brick walls, which we appreciated as we enjoy historical inns. The picture window was a plus. The complimentary continental breakfast was plentiful and changed each morning. Staff members were attentive.
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.
