The property itself just needed a little bit of TLC, new paint, replacement and repairs should be done. That being said, it was really just the outside that needed attention. I loved the inside, the staff, the food and the general atmosphere was lovely.

I stayed 20,21,and 22 July 2025. The bathroom was dirty ad the towels were not replaced. The morning of the 23rd the water was not working at all. I could not take a shower. I was promised from the front desk person I would receive a credit on my MC for the inconvenience. I did not received it. I grew up in Fall River and feel ashamed how it went so down hill. Will I receive the credit?
