Great place to stay if visiting UMass or Amherst College. Clean, friendly staff, nice bar in the evening. Close to shopping and restaurants. The outside of the hotel is very pretty - looks more like Disney's Grand Floridian Hotel than a Courtyard. Inside it is your standard updated Courtyard. For a Courtyard, this one is pricey but I'm sure it is because of its location near UMass and the college.

I stayed at this hotel because I was driving to multiple locations in western Massachusetts. It's near shopping and the downtown Amherst area. The staff are friendly and the rooms are clean. I've stayed here multiple times and prefer a room that faces out the backside of the hotel since there's a field behind it and really quite. But I've stayed before on the front facing side and although it's off a major road, the hotel sits a little back from the road so it's not too noisy.

I stayed here recently when they were slammed with back to school. They were amazing! This was an insane trip! I was not able to get a hotel anywhere I initially tried and got in here. When I drove up I was glad I picked this one over the others. Located on the highway near restaurants. They are VERY nice! They were able to give me the upgrade (corner rooms are the best). I will know next time to reserve one! They have breakfast (egg station, waffles, pancakes, etc!) Service is wonderful. You don't have to think they do auto refills! The rooms are spacious and clean. They have an indoor pool and market with snacks. Nearby is Staples so if you have to pick up dorm items it's great! Also close to Marshalls, TJ Maxx, Target and Walmart! The manager is always around (I was shocked)! I had one bad week which they were AMAZING! DO NOT USE GO GO ON THE AIRPLANES (My AMEX was compromised by their billing company) The hotel called Amex for authorization they were VERY VERY VERY nice! I highly recommend them!

We rented a function room this past weekend for my daughters wedding reception. Although my daughter had met with their wedding planner a few times my wife and I only met with her once. I was very impressed with her knowledge and attention to detail. I was also impressed with her lack of trying to "up sell" as we decided what we wanted during the event.

On the night before the wedding we had a rehearsal outside where the wedding would be held. We had planned on doing a picnic after the rehearsal but it became too dark to allow that to happen. With no other good choices we decided that we would all go back to this Hotel and see if we might be able to use the courtyard outside to have the picnic and finish off the night. Most of these people were not staying there and I was concerned about 30 people just showing up and taking over the courtyard. When we got to the hotel we were greeted with the news that they would allow us the use of that area. Not only did they allow us to gather there but they also were more than willing to provide plates, napkins or anything else we needed!! They cranked up the fire pit and just minutes later we were all eating and relaxing. The bartender was amazing as she went above and beyond so many times in that one night. I had so many people comment her service and willingness to help us out as we got settled.

The rooms were great and the reception was as perfect as anyone could have made them.



Nothing could have been done better and no one could have done more than they did!!



Thanks so much for making my daughters special day so great and memorable for not only her but everyone that attended!!
