New Bedford Inn and Suites, New Bedford

First I want to preface this by saying that I typically never leave reviews, but after this place I felt it my duty to warn others and deter people from staying the night in conditions that likely rival those Guantanamo Bay. I want to say that I'm not very picky, having stayed many consecutive nights in dilapidated tents in the middle of Yosemite as well as lived out of camper. The difference here is when you pay close to $100 for a night's accommodation you expect a bit more than free camping or a barely functioning camper. To say the least, this hotel was the worst place I've ever stayed. The first room (yes there was more than one that I had to go through before settling in) smelled so disgusting that I was ready to ask for a replacement. It wasn't till I went to turn the bathroom light, which failed to turn on, that I had to request a room change. After stepping out of the room to request the room change, I noticed the two rooms on either side of this room were full of garbage and looked recently condemned, which seemed the ultimate direction of the departed room. After the hotel staff kept me waiting for over 30 minutes to give me, in the words of the hotel manager, a "very nice room," I ended up in a room that was an infinitesimal step above the previous room (at least it didn't smell of rotting corpses and the bathroom light worked). The bathtub was stained and cracked, the toilet didn't stop running all night unless you kicked a few time, there was a used towel left on the towel rack, and all the walls were stained with a yellow tint. The bed was rock hard (luckily no bedbugs) and the internet didn't work. I thought to myself: 'if this is a "very nice" room I'd hate to see what a normal room looks like.' Needless to say, after the worst night's sleep in years, which happened to fall on the night before my first triathlon, I tried to salvage what little respect I had remaining for this place by trying the continental breakfast. From what I remember of continental breakfasts, I remember they typically don't consist of week old bagels, sour unrefrigerated milk, stale cereal, and day old coffee similar to what you'd find at a Jiffy Lube. I didn't brave the breakfast, considering I had an arduous task of a triathlon ahead of me as well as a will to live. I grabbed my stuff and got the hell out of there, just praying the place didn't fall off the foundation before driving away. Bottom line of this review: I don't want to believe that all Days Inn motels are like this one, but if you happen to find yourself in New Bedford I would recommend staying in the dumpster behind the Target before staying here. The food in the dumpster would be more edible, the smell would probably be sightly better and the overall cost would be far less. Positives about this place: There is a great Italian restaurant down the street and it's close to the highway. There's a liquor store down the street you can patronize to help you forget your otherwise unforgettable experience here.

The service staff were nice, but the place is dirty throughout. Hall rugs haven't been vacuumed in weeks, there are disgusting stains on the bedspread, and the place smells. The room didn't have soap or shampoo when we arrived and everything about it is gross. Our room overlooked the pool area and was noisy into the night. Never again!

had an event there, me and my guests were treated like royalty. place settings were superb. wait staff was very attentive and the event coordinator woman was simply excellent...she was very charming and made sure we had everything we needed...would definitely go there again and plan to suggest this hotel to my friends...nice hotel in a nice town... love the portuguese people... ,

Wireless Internet was great, nice clean rooms, nice continental breakfast, reasonable price, highly recommneded. We will go there agian in August to enjoy the new indoor pool.

Not clean, service is horrible, wouldnt move us to a different room to even be able to connect to the internet...told us that we could "sit in the lobby" (quoted) if we needed a connection. Horrible!!!
