Days Inn New Bedford Motel - Page 1

In September, 20 families of travel hockey players drove to New Bedford for a weekend of hockey vs. the local team. What we loved, it's location, but that's where it begins and ends. The rooms were absolutely filthy, towels soiled and very old, bed sheets the same, dust on every piece of furniture, room door hadn't been painted in years, maybe decades. Not even a bar of soap. The group rate we were charged was higher then the Days Inn internet rate by about $20. When we complained, the management refused to refund the difference or have our rooms cleaned. We had to get our own towels as there was no housekeeping. Large garbage bins that we opened sat behind the indoor pool exposed to most of the rooms. Don't waste your time or money.

The hotel was big, quiet, and clean. It served a nice breakfast. The only problem was there was no heat running, and it was a bit cold. Otherwise, it was a good place to stay.

This inn is located right off of Route 140 and has a great restaurant next door. We requested a handicapped room with a room for my daughter and grandson next door, but our request was not accommodated. They had other rooms available on the inner first floor wing, but didn't want to heat two rooms in that area. The handicapped parking area hadn't been cleared of snow; they had piled the snow there when they plowed. The heater in our room clanged all night. I don't think they've upgraded those rooms since I spent my wedding night there in 1978. It was tacky. I have spent time in the inner wing. It's lovely there, with new furniture and little decks or balconies that over look the pool. They should have put our entire party there, instead of making two handicapped people walk up and down icy steps that were never cleared in our entire three-day stay.
