I had read the reviews prior to staying and had hoped the comments about the condition of the hotel were incorrect Wrong!! I had brought my Mom to a wedding shower and unfortunately she found what appeared to be a bed bug in one bed and hair all through the other bed. It was reported to the front desk staff... More

Thank you for taking the time to review our property. I am sorry to hear your stay was disappointing. Due to the change of the season there are more insects around, and as much as we try, a living insect will make its way into a room on occasion. The issue was addressed when it was brought to our attention,... More

I stayed at this hotel on a business trip and was shocked at how truly great it was. I thought it was brand new (the carpets still have that brand new smell and everything is sparkling and spotless) and was surprised to learn it was two years old. They have all kinds of little perks - internet that you are... More

We enjoyed the harbor view one bedroom suite. It was such a pleasant experience, the decor, the size of the siting area, bathroom and bedroom were above expectations. The pool and gym facilities were thoughtfully designed and clean. The front desk staff were always pleasant and helpful. The breakfast was great and plentiful. Outdoor spaces, firepit and table were also... More

We had a water/harbor view from our room. It was fun to see all the ships and boats and the waterfront activity. The staff was very accommodating and polite, friendy. Our room and the rest of the hotel was very clean and well kept. Breakfast (included) was several kinds of juices, apples and bananas, scrambled eggs, sausage, waffles, pop-in-the-microwave breakfast... More

Thank you for taking the time to review our property. Your kind words are much appreciated by our staff. I can assure you, even though the area looks unsafe due to the construction that is going on, it is extremely safe to walk the nearby area. Also, we have a shuttle that can take our guests to the local attractions.... More

I visited the Fairfield INN during the weekend of the half marathon in New Bedford. I have lived around the area previously and was not expecting much from New Bedford. But I was pleasantly surprised. The front desk staff was excellent, I think her name was Pam, but she was great. The breakfast had hot food items, and the hotel... More

We spent 2 nights at the hotel. We were in New Bedford for the 1/2 Marathon Race. There were 3500 runners, all hotels were full. We were early on the day of arrival, the front desk took my cell phone number to call when the room was ready. Breakfast was extremely busy, because of all the runners, the staff handled... More
