Best Western Dartmouth Inn

Dark and dated… Paper thin walls, you can hear everything from your neighbor snoring to using the bathroom. A touch pricey for what it’s worth.

Reserved a room for September 5^th 2015 a month in advance. A friend of mine was getting married at Bittersweet Farm and this hotel was 10 minutes away. Convenient I thought. My husband arrived at the hotel to check in at 3PM (standard checkin time). He walked into the room and placed all his belongings down. Laid on the bed to relax to look over at the nightstand to see 2 pairs of dirty socks. If that was me I would have marched right downstairs and complained because that’s UNACCEPTABLE. He brushed it off and continued to undress to shower prior to meeting me at the wedding. He opens the bathroom door to find a cup on the sink (used). He then opens the shower curtain to a soap wrapper and used soap in the shower. The room was OBVIOUSLY not cleaned, however the bed was made. Unsanitary hotel! If everywhere else wasn’t booked we would have never stayed. When we checked out at 11 the young woman took our room number. While on the phone with a maid telling her «make sure you vacuums that rooms rug, because the guest have complained it wasn’t vacuumed». Seems like a common occurrence. Would not recommend or stay ever again. Two thumbs WAY down.

Conveniently located less than 3 minutes off 195, generally clean, arguably a bit «dated» even though less than a decade old – overall solid for what I paid on this «off season» night.
Check in staff was efficient, king size bed was comfy with decent linens, bathroom was average+, and room itself was quite large and except for a plate sized stain on the rug and some peeling wallpaper near the door, well put together as well.
Net, net: arguably on the «low end» of «3 Star» category on Priceline vs. other «3 Star» hotels, but on my list to stay at again when the need arises.

I can only describe my experience at this hotel as the night from hell. We checked in and dropped off our bags before heading off to dinner. My parents had cigarette stains on their carpet. Our room was dark, dingy, and dirty. The fact that it was big only seemed to make it worse. Carpet was stained and the wallpaper was peeling. Found a huge bug in the bathroom. However, by far the worst part was at 3 AM I woke up because there was a loud clicking noise. We assumed it was coming from the air conditioner and tried all sorts of things to fix it. We even turned it off, but the noise persisted. We attempted to sleep, but the noise kept us up for a good 2 hours. In the morning, exhausted and angry, I reported the problem to the front desk. They jotted down the problems but stared blankly at me after I finished my story. The manager snidely asked me why I didn’t come down or call at 3 in the morning as if that’s a rational thing to do. Why would I want a mechanic in my room keeping me up for hours? And is he even on call? Moreover, they asserted that the noise was water dripping onto our air conditioner from the air conditioner above ours. The manager actually told me it happens at her house and that if it was outside our room, there was nothing to be done about it. So then what would’ve been the point of me telling them at 3 AM? So they could tell me there’s nothing they could do then? I’m sorry, but if it affects my sleep it better be their problem. There were no apologies, only rude and ridiculous questions about why I didn’t handle their shitty hotel room better. Absolutely unbelievable. I can’t believe I paid $ 115 for this piece of shit, dump hotel. A Motel 6, or maybe even our car, would’ve been better. Will never come back here or to any Best Western in this universe, or any other.

Stayed on the 15^th of July. No iron, no clock, no phone, no shampoo. Dirty carpet in entry way of room.
Explained it to the Manager Linda. Her response? «Did you tell anyone?» I explained I was telling her and that I shouldn’t have to tell her. Her STAFF should tell her when a room is void of the very basics of any hotel room. I also said that the fact that her name tag and the sign on the front said BEST that they should be ashamed that they have rooms like that. Her final response? «Sorry.» That is what I got for $ 120.
Later that day I received an email apology offering 25% off my next stay. My next stay?

Absolutely the worst hotel experience. The hallways stink, the elevator stinks, and the room stinks! Smells of cat urine? I’m not sure, but my olfactory system was not pleased. The walls are so thin I could hear the noise from the next door guest urinating in the bathroom. WHAT ABOMINATION! Not to mention the upstair’s guests (sounded like high school kids) throwing a party of sort at a late hour. I normally avoid Best Western hotels, but I had to stay in the area for work, and there really weren’t that many options! Next time I have to come here, I think I’d rather drive extra 20 minutes and stay in Providence or something. Stay away!

Well Surprise surprise!
I love a good surprise. I needed to stay in North Dartmouth, and I had 3 choices: The Moby Dick roadside motel, another chain that wants over 100 a night, and this Best Western. The AAA rate was really good, so the boss booked me here.
From reading the previous reviews, I was prepping for the worst…
And yet, it’s nice. No, really. The inside is clean, neat, and orderly. The staff was friendly on check in, and they gave me a nice little gift bag with snacks and a bottle of water. My room is great. King Size bed, clean sheets, lots of comfy pillows, fridge, microwave, and a clean bathroom. No smoke smell at all, anywhere. The Wifi is fast and free, and the room has an RJ-​45 if I needed it. Like, fast enough to watch streaming Netflix!
But there’s NO WAY I can write a 100% glowing review… I had to find something wrong!
So to address previous reviews…
Yes, there is a disconcerting clunk in the elevator. On the up, and the down. It’s no biggie.
There IS a Gentleman’s club down the street, maybe a mile away. Honestly, this doesn’t worry me a bit. I’m far more concerned about the *shudder* Applebee’s… (C’mon people, let’s grow up, OK?)
The «Hot Tub» does not exist. No wait, it kinda does. It’s just empty, and it has a custom cut Putting green covering it. If it weren’t for the fact that the wood of the putting green was warped, I wouldn’t have spotted the hot tub underneath. I lifted the cover, and it’s apparent it hasn’t been operated in a long time.
The pool looks nice, pretty clean, heated. The workout room is clean, the equipment looks new, and they have a water cooler in there, How handy!
Overall, 4 out of 5. If they fixed the Hot tub, I’d have given it 5 of 5. For the price, this is a gem, folks. I will be staying here again, and I’m recommending it to my whole company when they come to this customer site.

A 2 night weekend stay in clean rooms. Quiet and clean hallways. My only issue was that the «free» breakfast bar was not monitored and on both mornings I had to go to the front desk and ask for attention. the hot tub was not working, however the pool looked inviting.

Yeah, this isn’t a prime hotel at all but I have stayed in worse.
The front sliding door squeaked/​squealed VERY loudly and wasn’t repaired during my three night stay. I mentioned it to the girl at the front and she responded with a «eh». Eh???
The elevator service plaque told everyone who boarded that the machine’s service certificate had expired in April. It also let you know that it hadn’t been serviced in quite some time by several LOUD bangs as it descended from the third floor. I prayed that I didn’t get stuck every time I got on it.
The room was clean enough but the linens need to be tossed. They had been washed so many times that the material was starting to ball up and was very uncomfortable. It felt like the sheets were about 10 thread count, weaved from hemp. Not exactly what I would call relaxing when you turn in for the night.
As for the girl Jaquie and her comment about the strip club, it is a mile down the road and it doesn’t bring «unsavory» characters into the area. I actually find that comment a bit ridiculous if you ask me. Everyone that I saw in cars or walking around were normal looking people.

One year old Best Western Dartmouth is in a desperate need of a cleaning! The hallways and common areas are filthy. The distinct scent of stale cigarette smoke permeates the hallways and the carpeting is soiled.
They can’t change the location, but you should know before you stay here that it is extreemely noisy. And the icing on the cake is the stripper club just a few doors down bring all sorts of unsavory characters into the area. I would pitch a tent at the zoo before I stayed in this horrible hotel Hell again.
I voiced my concerns to the manager and he answered my concerns with a pompous attitude.
