Top New Bedford Whaling Museum Hotel Reviews

The Coonamessett

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was top notch. Staff was great. Room was clean, warm and inviting. Bathroom was perfect as well. Off-season so restaurant and bar weren’t open. Still great place to stay. "

Iris Hotel Cape Cod

10/10 Excellent

"The Iris Hotel was very nicer. Check in and out was a breeze. Clean, inviting, and the service was great. The rooms were clean and tastefully decorated. The free breakfast buffet was excellent. Everything from waffles, eggs, bacon, sausage, bagels, fruit, etc. I was not expecting that. I highly recommend it. "
