My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The location was convenient for exploring downtown and enjoying the harbor views, although there were some noise disturbances. The service was friendly, but there seemed to be miscommunication during the shift change. The dining experience offered a good complimentary breakfast. The rooms provided a view of the bustling activity outside, but the freshness could be improved.

Upon arriving at the Fairfield Inn and Suites, I found the rooms to be old and not very functional, overlooking the harbor. The service was top-notch with very professional and friendly staff who even accommodated our special dietary needs. The location was convenient despite not looking ideal at first, offering a glimpse of fishing vessels and proximity to downtown New Bedford attractions. The dining experience was more generous than expected for the price point, and the homemade pies and jams were a lovely touch.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of wonderful experiences and a few challenges. The location was absolutely beautiful, overlooking the harbor and providing convenient access to the charming historical city center and the ferry terminus for Oak Bluffs. The service was fantastic, with the staff being helpful and friendly, but there were some minor cleanliness issues in the room. The dining options were good, offering a variety of choices but could use a bit more variety. Overall, the hotel provided a great experience with a few areas that could be improved.
Rooms

The room had a picturesque view overlooking the harbor, which was delightful. However, there was an unfortunate atmosphere of stereotyping based on race or nationality, which was uncomfortable. Additionally, smoking in the facility was strictly prohibited.
Service

The staff was most helpful in assisting us with everything we needed during our stay. They were friendly and accommodating, making our experience enjoyable. However, the presence of soap scum and toothpaste spit from the previous guest in the sink was a bit of a letdown.
Location
9.0
The hotel's location was a highlight, offering stunning views of the boats and sunsets. It was conveniently situated near the ferry terminus and the bustling fishing fleets, making it an ideal spot for exploring the area. However, noise violations from disruptive guests across the street were a drawback.
Dining

The dining experience was pleasant, with a variety of options that changed regularly. While the breakfast provided hot eggs, bacon, and sausage, it could have offered a little more variety, especially for those with dietary restrictions.
Facilities

The hotel offered decent facilities for a comfortable stay, though nothing particularly outstanding was noted. The value for money was fair considering the amenities provided.
