Guest Reviews & Ratings
I couldn't have asked for a better hotel experience! The rooms were creatively decorated with a soak tub and waterfall shower, incredibly spacious, and impeccably clean. The service was top-notch, with warm and attentive staff going above and beyond to make our wedding weekend unforgettable. The location was ideal for visiting MASS MOCA, though a bit noisy due to its front-facing position. The dining experience, while not offering hot food items, was satisfying and conveniently located. Overall, a great place to stay with minor noise concerns and limited hot food options.
I had a fantastic stay at the hotel! The rooms were great, homey, and filled with lovely amenities like a large tub and bath salts. The service was top-notch, with a warm and friendly staff, including the adorable lobby dog, Leo. The location was convenient, though a bit noisy at times. The dining experience was okay but could use some improvement. Overall, a wonderful experience!
