Best Western Dorchester Hotel

I always love staying at this hotel, the view, outdoor patio and proximity to the shops and restaurant is perfect. I've never used it but I think it's pretty awesome that there is a laundromat in the building. less

All looks good in the hotel lobby wise. There were renovations during our stay for the back entrance part leading to the harbour and docks. Location wise it is a good place if you want to do some walking in near the docks and park and walking distance to the downtown shops. However, expect some party noises on the nearby streets on a Saturday night as the hotel is near some resto bars. However, there is still a musky smell coming off the floor hallway. We stayed on the first floor and there were some nice upgrades. New room fixtures and furniture. Floors were nicer and much preferred than carpeted ones - although they make more noises. No soundproof from other rooms as well. The size of the room is quite small for a king sized bed. The edge of the bed has about less than a foot of space from the handles of the dresser. And the bed was not comfortable. It is quite stiff and no chance of feeling any bounce. Hard as a chunk of rock!! Besides the bed, it did not help that the split type A/C is not set right or working properly; it blows warm air and no cold breeze. We spent a good part of the night trying to figure out the right settings or controls. Our sleep was not restful at all because it was hot and humid inside our room and being ground level cannot open our windows for some outside breeze. The washroom has new tub and fixtures as well. And towels are clean and some extras were there. If you decide to stay here make sure to check the A/C and the bed. 🐖 less

Superior service for the region, really. Very friendly desk staff. We booked this the night we got in and no problems at all. Good parking, bar, and breakfast. Central to anything you'd want to do. Highly recommended. less

There was a long lineup when we arrived at 5pm. Conference in town had the place packed. When we reached our turn in line we were greeted by Cody who was absolutely awesome! Even though there was 10 people behind us Cody made us feel like we were the only ones there. Great job working under pressure. less

The hotel is older and the rooms need to be updated but it's clean and in a great location! The beds are very firm so made it hard to sleep. Cleaning staff in the hallways were very pleasant but the fellow on the front desk was not very helpful on check in when one of our group asked if she could change her room location (she wanted to be on the 3rd floor that has a smoking deck outside) and the guy didn't even check, just said no and wasn't apologetic at all. However he was super friendly and helpful on checkout??? So maybe he was just having a moment. Overall it's a little overpriced I felt but a great location. less
