While visiting family in the area during Thanksgiving, I decided to try a night at this small hotel located midway between Amherst and Northampton. I was pleasantly surprised. The staff was friendly, the room was clean and the bed was quite comfortable. Although it is located on busy Route 9 and directly in front of a large shopping mall, the room was also rather quiet. I also received a very fair rate. I would definitely stay here again.

Having stayed at some less than stellar Econolodges, I was curious about this platinum award that they've won. Choice gives this to the top 3% of each brand. From my observation, this Econolodge is very worthy of the award. The staff people I saw were professional, the facility was clean and in good order. It feels more like a better quality hotel, and less like a motel. It is still an Econolodge, meaning a budget brand; you can't expect the superior furniture, towels and carpeting that you get in the higher brands. But what is here appears to be well taken care of. The bed was comfortable, the shower was hot, the towels clean. This property gives you a lot more than you expect for the money. I've been to Comfort and Quality Inns that are not this good. It is a platinum experience, and located close to Deerfield and the Pioneer Valley.

This is definetly a no frills hotel!They only give you shampoo, not conditioner!The rooms are very small and only doubles, no queen. It is clean and if you are nearby for a quick stop, it's not the end of the world. Ask for the handicap room if you can, it's much bigger. Skip complimentary breakfast, it was awful.

We stayed at this Econo Lodge after reading the good reviews here on Trip Advisor & noticing that it was also about $30 cheaper than most other places. No offense to Econo Lodge as a brand but we were pleasantly surprised by how nice it was. Room was very clean. There is some noise between rooms (mainly pipes) but was not enough to bother us. Staff very friendly & breakfast adequate enough to hold you over. Next to the hotel is a Dunkin Donuts and behind is a strip mall (walkable) with Walmart, Whole Foods, Panera, etc which was very convenient for picking up odds & ends.
