    Best Western Dorchester We had a great stay at the Best Western Dorchester. The location is unbeatable—right in the heart of downtown and directly across from the harbour, with endless restaurants and cafes within walking distance. Check-in was quick and efficient. We were in room 428, which was spacious and featured a beautiful full view of the water along with standard coffee and tea facilities. A standout perk was the free 24/7 self-service laundry on the third floor, which was incredibly convenient.  Pro Tip: If you have heavy luggage, use the Church Street entrance for drop-off. The Front Street entrance doesn't have a ramp, though parking there is free for hotel guests.

    Sadly the front desk were rude as we didn’t book directly through the hotel. We were not able to check in until 4:30 but many were able to check in early. This made us late for our event. Go stay somewhere else perhaps you will be treated as an equal.
