Front desk staff did an excellent job moving us to a different room and offering complementary breakfast but the reason they had to move us was not the best. Great staff just a rough area that the hotel is located in I guess.

Great Stay !

Staff were friendly and helpful . Great location downtown and easy to get to the waterfront . Washrooms were clean and for the most part facilities were easy to use . The shampoo and soap dispensers were however difficult to squeeze for anyone lacking strength . Showers could possibly use more grips . Otherwise great stay ,

Due to an issue at home, we had to leave the hotel, 30 min after checking in and lost our money. Very disappointed that you have to prepay your room. Brian Semple.

Average hotel, decent value- don’t like room not being cleaned daily or that nearest parking is quite a walk away. Bar /restaurant closes at 10 which I find early. Staff helpful, amenities accessible but nothing special

Convenient location for sure!

Hallway noise was very loud as we were near the elevator but overall, it was clean and centrally located. More clear information about the parking within the Hotels.com would be helpful - we had to go to the hotel's regular website as well as rely on our own local knowledge to find parking

Great location downtown, parking is a hassle and expensive plus the procedure was not well explained by the desk staff. Really did not need to be downtown since visiting family in Fall River. Booked here because of the price but would have been better off once the cost of parking was factored in to have booked out by Dartmouth Crossing.
