It was very small for $200.00. Tub very small and the water didn’t come out of shower that well at all! Shower curtain didn’t go all the way across. Rough material when it came to towels and they were very very small! The room was not worth $200.00. They were also supposed to refund me for a mistake I made. They never did!

Just Okay

Found hair in the bed. Walls are so thin I could hear the room next door's conversations and I was woken up by their baby crying during the night.

Wanda made checking in a breeze. She was friendly and professional. I arrived ahead of others in my party and spent about a half hour in the lobby. It was clean and comfortable. We had tickets to an event at the attached venue which was very convenient and quiet attractive. It was comforting knowing that I could relax and enjoy adult beverages with my friends and not have to get in a car after. I could not recommend it enough!

Sustained bed bug bites during the first night of the stay. Hotel conducted a limited evaluation by an outside company and while the general desk staff was kind, the managerial staff was dismissive and did not acknowledge or validate our experience. I work in a field that includes knowledge of pests and their behaviors and am confident in the identification of the source of the bites as well as other onsite evidence of the presence of bed bugs. New Bedford is my hometown and I was disappointed in how the situation was handled.
