It was fine. Room was clean, bed comfortable, shower and tub good. It had a strong scent of some air freshener--too much for my taste; I had to leave the door open for a while to air it out. Only one window, facing the grounds and next to the door, didn't open. The grounds are fine, the staff also fine. It's on a local highway so nowhere to walk to, but convenient for driving. The breakfast is really minimal, with no tables. I chose this place over the New Bedford Harbor Hotel based on some poor reviews there, but in retrospect, given that I wanted to see New Bedford, would have picked that place--great downtown location (2 blocks from whaling museum), much more complete breakfast.

My boyfriend and I have stayed here twice now and we absolutely love it. The location is perfect—close to everything but still feels private and relaxing. Our room was spotless and cozy, and the heart-shaped jacuzzi is such a fun, romantic touch. The attached bar is a huge bonus. It stays open until 2 a.m., so we never had to leave the property to find entertainment. The drink specials were incredible—don’t miss the pumpkin martini or the amazing energy-drink cocktail, both were to die for. This hotel has quickly become our go-to for a quick getaway, and we can’t wait for our next stay!

I’m not sure our room was 💯ready for use after a recent remodel. I don’t think all chalking was done in the bathroom. The soap dispensers either haven’t been filled yet or weren’t working. Enjoyed our evening meal at the attached Pub.
