My stay at this hotel was a mixed experience. The location was convenient for my needs, being close to the regional airport, but the rooms were below my expectations with a strong deodorizer scent. The service was friendly, but the staff couldn't offer much beyond basic privacy and warmth. The dining experience was limited to fast-food options, and the facilities were mediocre overall.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On one hand, the room was equipped with a heart-shaped hot tub and a king-size bed, but on the other hand, there was no phone, clock, or emergency exit instructions/map. Additionally, I found the lack of room darkening shades inconvenient, and the absence of an ice machine was a letdown. The late evening noise from neighbors and the dripping water in the shower also affected my stay.

The room with a heart-shaped hot tub and king-size bed was a unique touch, but lacking essentials like a phone, clock, and emergency exit instructions/maps, coupled with the noise and maintenance issues, detracted from the overall comfort.

The service was a mixed bag. While the staff was always willing to work around my schedule and generally awesome, I found them extremely helpful only when needed.

The location of this hotel in New Bedford served its purpose well. It was ideal for the event I was attending nearby and conveniently off I195, although the entry doors could be clearer.
Dining

Dining options in the area were a bit of a hit or miss. While I enjoyed some good meals, there were also horrid and lousy experiences, particularly with Iberian products.

The lack of room darkening shades and an ice machine were noticeable drawbacks, though the heart-shaped hot tub and king-size bed were standout features.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were clean and had everything I needed, but unfortunately, there were people still in the room I was allocated. The staff was very friendly and went above and beyond to address any issues, but they wouldn't be available until the morning. The location was fine for exploring nearby attractions, but it was not as clean as I'd hoped. The dining experience was quite ridiculous with limited options, although the Teppanyaki fish was a nice surprise.

The service was friendly and courteous, even with personnel shortages. The location was convenient but lacked attractions. The dining options were limited to packaged items during renovations. Overall, the hotel had its ups and downs.

Upon entering the room, I was disappointed to find it very cold and it took forever to warm up. There was a strong smell of old smoke despite being sold as smoke-free. The room had all kinds of burn holes and felt so outdated that I was skeeved out and had to check for bed bugs.
