Better than expected considering how heavy its used for those using the ferry!
Pros:

Very flexible - allowed early morning parking for evening stay.
Breakfast options including toppings for oatmeal/cereal; also offered fruit, yogurt. Morning TV avoided FoxNews.

Take a break before the bridge
Pros:

A favorite en route to the Cape. Perfect location overlooking a working port. Best breakfast of its kind we’ve found. Staff responsive; our defective TV remote was replaced swiftly with a better. Pool is small, indoor; outdoor seating limited but available.

Pros:

Stanza ampia e confortevole, belle tende scure alle finestre ottime per dormire. Letto grande e comodo, bel bagno. Frigo in camera e kit x caffè. Piscina interna aperta fino alle 22 e piccola palestra.
Al check out abbiamo chiesto di lasciare auto nel parcheggio per finire di visitare la città e ci sono venuti incontro senza problemi. Posizione ottima per visitare il centro, il porto e i musei praticamente a piedi

Cons:

Direi nulla.

Unorganized
Pros:

This location is very disorganized. They lost multiple reservations for a wedding room block and didn’t offer solutions or refunds. Instead of having a nice weekend away with my husband, we had to have friends crash in our room since they were left stranded.

Great stay in New Bedford
Pros:

The Fairfield in New Bedford Massachusetts is the place to stay when visiting New England. Less expensive than virtually all the other Marriott properties in the area, they also boast the friendliest, most helpful staff. Clean, modern with a great, hot breakfast, it’s our “go to” stay when visiting the region. Added plus, it’s only a couple blocks from both the Moby Dick restaurant/lounge and New Bedford Whaling Museum.

Spring May in Boston
Pros:

I enjoy my visit to Boston, so I did love my staying at the hotel. It is very close to the shore and other cultural places. It is also near to restaurants and coffees where anybody can enjoy the sunrise and the wonderful sun seatings every day. The hotel also has a great parking lot for cars.

Your sinuses will suffer!
Pros:

This hotel desperately needs to be renovated. The furniture is all banged up, and the worst were the musty carpets. Outside traffic was loud. Incredibly overpriced for what it is. The positive is the bed was comfortable.
