We made reservations at the Best Western Dorchester Hotel. The weather was extremely hot and we were very tired from a long trip. We were looking forward to relaxing in an air conditioned room. It was late and we circled the hotel many times before we realized there were only about 10 spots for the WHOLE hotel. Finally after one... more

We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights while visiting family in the area. It was between Christmas and New Years and the hotel was very quiet. It was our first stay and we were impressed. I researched every hotel in the area to find one that wasn't a rundown, smelly old motel with dated rooms, and this was the... more

I stayed several nights in this hotel and did not check out because the only other option was completely booked. This hotel is standard Best Western - very poor. Except this place was even worse than other Best Western properties. They should be called the Worst Western. This hotel smelled of urine outside my room in the corridor. Had no... more

Never Again! Avoid this hotel unless you are into bugs. Yes, I got bitten by bedbugs and had a rash for over a week. I complained to the manager but was told that it is not their fault guest bring them in. Very rude manager. I was late for the ferry and didn't bother to take it any further. The... more

We just walked in to the hotel and they found a room for us. If I would have done some checking first, I probably wouldn't have chosen this hotel. For the price, the room was much too small. I guess it has a great location but I was just passing through and didn't care much for the location. The bed... more
