We found some things misleading. Yes they have parking.....but its a few blocks away.....yes, technically you can see the harbor from some rooms, but only if you look over and around other buildings. Not exactly an area i would have felt safe without my husband. They need to continue upgrading, for example, the wooden ceiling was 4 different colors of wood and my husband (a construction guy) saw mold on the wood. However, the staff was great and the bar downstairs was the best part of the hotel.

Very loud- couldn't sleep due to people walking around upstairs all night. Our room was dirty but the bathroom appeared clean. there wasn't any soap in the BR-I had to go down to the desk. The whole property was out of coffee. It is a cold dark property.

I found it "different" that in 2024 not to have a tv in the room. Parking is on the street or 3 blocks away! Went to breakfast at 7:45 - there was none until someone rushed in say someone went home sick (Which I didn't believe) & later it was a 'miss communication'. the danish was cold, the micro didn't work, coffee? Obviousls I made a bad 'where to stay' decision.

Great downtown location, lame breakfast.
We have stayed at this hotel many times. It seems to be going downhill. Room wasn’t bad but shower was not the cleanest. 1 fairly thin blanket ( glad we brought our own). The 1st room we had had no remote for the television, went down to front desk and he said yea that room does not have a working tv, want me to move you !Breakfast” was awful, nothing to choose from, the few pastries they did have were gross. When we checked in, there was an employee at the front desk. When out to our car to get a few more things, came back in and had a question about parking and that same employee was outside chatting with friends while we waited. I hope they can change their ways so that we can co time to stay at the hotel, we love the location.

The rooms were generously sized, offering a sense of comfort and openness, while the staff were exceptionally accommodating and eager to assist. Additionally, the location was conveniently situated near UMass Dartmouth University, making it an ideal choice for visitors to the campus.

Checkin was "ok" - person talking with friends. Really surprised that in 2024 there was no tv. Go to breakfast at 7;45 - none. person came in said someone went home sick - which I do not believe and later mentioned miss communicaion. Parking - another story. Let's just say we won't be returning. I made a poor stay selection.
