I read the negative reviews before I went and almost canceled my reservation. I was pleasantly surprised by a simple but pleasant room. It was very clean. There was no bad smell. My room upstairs was very quiet and warm. The bathroom was clean and pleasant. The exceptional fireplace in the dining room was a lovely place to read my Sunday NY Times with a cup of hot cocoa. The logs were real as was the fire. The staff was consistently nice. it was very convenient to everything I wanted to do. Like the room, the bed was adequate but not fancy. I slept well both nights. I appreciated the all cotton sheets. PLUS it was the cheapest of the 3 places available in Northampton. It was much nicer than a chain motel. The TV wasn't very good and I didn't try the breakfast. I don't see what the negative fuss is about.
