Hotel

Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites New Bedford

There is a room block for this hotel, space limited. Right in downtown New Bedford, this hotel is very close to the Welcome Drinks location on Friday night and some of the best spots New Bedford has to offer.

Hotel

Airbnb or VRBO

Good alternative to Fairfield if it is booked out or based on preference.

Hotel

Seaport Resort and Marina

Across the bridge in Fairhaven but still quite close to the happenings; would require a car to get to downtown New Bedford

Flight

Boston Logan (BOS)

New Bedford is about 1 hr south via I-195 if using rental car. There is a commuter train (MBTA South Coast Rail) from Boston's South Station directly to New Bedford which is the cheapest option (~$12) but will take about an hour longer than driving. From BOS, take the free Silver Line to South Station to catch the MBTA train.

NYC to Providence via Amtrak! Providence is still ~55 minute drive from New Bedford though :/

Smaller than BOS, with fewer flight options, but slightly closer to New Bedford (still about an hour drive but plenty of rideshare options available)

New Bedford Regional Airport

Very tiny regional airport, but very close! ~5 miles from downtown
