“Must Stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 November 2011

The Bradford Inn and Suites is a Gem! My two sons and I stayed there recently and the view from our room was simply gorgeous. The staff was courteous and friendly. It is located within walking distance to the most famous landmarks there is - the Plymouth Rock, and the replica of the Mayflower. Also located within walking distance to some very good restaurants. There is nothing bad to say about this hotel.

Room Tip: Def get a room on the water side. The view is great! Wonderful way to wake up in the morning and go...

“Far below standard”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 October 2011

people found this review helpful

Dirt. Dirt. Dirt. Rooms are old and have obviously not been refurbished or repaired the last 30 years (incl. curtains, mattresses). Mold in the bath, thick layer of dust on chairs and on AC, bed linen smells awful. Even the telephone is filthy. Spent there my worst night in my 2 week trip and just want to wash everything I had with me in this room.

“Nice downtown location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 October 2011

We have stayed at this hotel 3 or 4 times over the past 10 years, because we like to park our car and walk around the town. We usually stay 3 or 4 days at the hotel. It's not a new building, and it needs some freshening up. They are presently in the process renovating the hotel, so some rooms maybe nicer than others. Our room was clean and nicely decorated. The staff has always treated us with respect. It's within walking distance of many restaurants and attractions. As for their continental breakfast it's not as fancy as some hotels, but then we started staying there when they didn't offer breakfast. If you want a fancy or hot breakfast you are within walking distance of places that serve breakfast. We would stay there again.

Thank you for your review. It's great to have people, like you, who are repeat customers and who appreciate our hotel and location. Since you have been coming for many years I'm sure you have noticed some changes (for the better) along the way. There are definitely more to come. We are a work in progress and strive to be everything we can be. We look forward to seeing you again the next time you are in town.

“You can't Be Desperate Enough to Stay Here”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 October 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Bar none, I've never stayed in a worse place. The bad reviews you read on this place are all true!
I was with a travel group, so did not have a choice about where I stayed.
The lock area had been chiseled away on the wood, apparently someone trying to get in.
Drapes torn, lampshades dented, paint peeling, no amenities.
Front desk people snotty. Continental breakfast-a joke.

Room Tip: There are no good rooms in this place.

“A Place to AVOID”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 September 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Unless you are fond of alternating cold and scalding showers, very slippery tile floors and towels so small and thin as to be useless, AVOID this place!

Immediately upon arrival, we found that our electronic room keys did NOT work. Maybe that was a sign that we should stay outside? Maybe the carpet was recently cleaned because it was DAMP. Upon getting into the mushy bed, we had to dry our feet with the sheets.

The outdoor carpeting smells from chlorine bleach, but from others in our group, we hear that might be an improvement. We were told by others that the place stank upon arrival. Maybe it was washed down while we were at dinner.

Sorry to be redundant, but I love to warm my aching back with (reasonably) hot water while I shampoo my hair. This place has an obviously older water system. One of those that does NOT provided a consistent flow of hot water such that you get 30-40 degree fluctuations in the temperature of the shower water. Luckily for me, my wife had preceeded me in the shower and warned me. IF you are not careful, for you MUST have the temperature knob cranked nearly to 100% hot for a normal shower, you can be scalded!

I do not kmow why or how, but the tiles that extend from the bathroom to the vanity area seem to have a film of something that is dangerously slippery. REMEMBER that I said the carpet appeared damp? WHAT A COMBINATION! Damp feet and a very slippery floor.

I must say that the staff here were wonderful and tried hard to accommodate, BUT that does not make up for the physical fallings.

This place has only ONE positive attribute: a view of the Mayflower replica and Plymouth Bay.

Plymouth, MA looks like a nice place to visit, but we will not be here long enough to judge.

Until and unless they COMPLETLY renovate this DUMP, avoid it!
