Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were small and somewhat dingy, but they were clean and offered the basics. Unfortunately, there was a noticeable smell of smoke lingering. The service was very pleasant and helpful, with courteous staff. The location was convenient to various attractions in Williamstown and neighboring areas. The dining options were basic but sufficient for a quick meal. Overall, it was a decent stay with some room for improvement.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. On one hand, the rooms were spacious with a lovely view of the mountain, and the receptionist was friendly and helpful. However, there was a musty smell in the room that was masked by strong air freshener. Additionally, there was a chemical smell that persisted even with the window open, which was a challenge for me due to mobility issues.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. While the rooms were not ideal, being old and slightly smelly with some security concerns, they were at least spacious and clean. The service was friendly, though communication was occasionally challenging due to language barriers. The location was convenient for exploring Williamstown and North Adams, but cleanliness around the area was lacking. Dining options were limited, but sufficient to get through the morning.
