We love this hotel. Clean room and bathroom, cheerful staff, comfortable bed, all amenities provided. We were close to the elevator but could not hear that nor any other hallway activity in our room. Window could be opened if you wanted but air system seemed fine.Good breakfast. Next time we'll bring our bathing suits as pool looked very inviting. We'll... More

Very friendly staff. Clean room, comfortable bed, nice pillows and great shower pressure. Overall a very nice hotel. Quiet room, couldn't hear any outside noses. Would stay again if ever in the New Bedford area.

Rooms are very clean, very comfortable. Breakfast was great. We stayed for a wedding with lots of family and friends. The staff here could not have been more accommodating and friendly. So easy to go for a pretty walk to many restaurants & attractions. Our room had a view of the harbor and it was like being in a postcard!... More

Just spent three nights here while attending a conference in the hotel. The hotel is right on the waterfront with views of the fishing boats and other activity. We were very pleased with the room - it was clean and neat. Nothing out of the ordinary, but that's ok, given our excellent rate of $104 per night - a special... More

Fairfield Inn, New Bedford is a good option for business. Very kind attendants, good internet and good breakfast. More than enough for a business trip. The only minor problem is the fact that the comfortable rooms at the ground floor may be a little bit noisy, but nothing to be worried. Everything worked wery well.

The location of this hotel is good, right on the harbor and across the street from what looked to be a great restaurant based on its menu, Waterfront Grille. It is very clean and well maintained and is the exact mirror image of all other Fairfield Inns I've stayed in before. The staff were very helpful when I was checking... More

My husband and I stayed one night at the Fairfield Inn in New Bedford, MA. It's in a great location -- right on the harbor and within walking distance of downtown. Very nice staff. Clean rooms. The free breakfast was good.
