While this hotel perhaps qualifies as a "sleep-cheap" it exceeds those expectations. Rooms pleasant and comfortable--the windows open!. We found the staff particularly responsive and professional. Guests may want to choose the nearby Whole Foods for breakfast as the hotel b'fast is limited. All around, we considered our fourteen day stay a very good value.

It was a great location on Rt 9 closer to Amherst, Northampton and the nearby great areas. It has a mall with Walmart, Wholefood, Michael's....etc right behind and many other names store closeby. Plenty of good restaurants and fast food, convenient stores and gas stations. The staffs were very friendly and helpful. The linen, room and bathroom were clean. I was really going to rate it higher if it was not the bad quality mattress that made my back hurt the next day. The edge of the lamp cover over the mirror was so sharp that I got a deep cut when brushing hair. The breakfast was really minimum and no hot stuffs except coffee and we couldn't find hot water for the tea and oat meal. Probably were expected to use microwave.

So it's not a five star hotel, but for the money, what more could you ask - breakfast is adequate - cereals, muffins, toast, and there is always coffee available 24/7 which is great, and there's a huge shopping center directly behind. Can walk to it through a shortcut through the thin strip of marsh if you're adventurous. Dunkin Donuts is next door. The pool is nice and clean. The staff is great, very pleasant and helpful. This is a great hotel to stay in close to Amherst and the Emily Dickinson house, which is what we was there for. Thumbs up.

Rooms were average. This isn't a high-end place, but it was okay. Very convenient. Free breakfast was lousy but Dunkin Donuts is next door so just go there instead. Pool wasn't huge but was warm and clean and nice. I heard one lady complain she couldn't do laps in the pool, but it was great for relaxing in. Staff was great! Very helpful and friendly. Free internet in rooms but not wireless. Wireless would be better obviously but you could plug in, and front desk had the cord if you needed it. I think the price tag was because of location not because of how great the hotel was. In another location these rooms would be cheaper.
