Our family has been staying at Porches regularly for the past 9 years since we regularly attend reunions and events at Williams College. This is our go-to place. It is unique and very comfortable, and the service is excellent. The architecture and decor are great (at least according to our taste). Breakfast is very good and the option of having... More

I was referred to Porches by a friend. What a great spot in a so-so location. It is in North Adams, MA. Stopped there heading home from the Berkshires. We stayed in a suite and since it was the summertime, we were able to get a deal on this. Nice king bed, stocked mini-bar, sofa with pull-out bed, and modern... More

We came for my husband's college reunion for Williams and I was not up for staying in the dorm. However, I am usually at hater of bed and breakfast type places because to me the words quaint and charming typically mean there is an old lady who runs the place that can't keep up with it and I can expect...

What a wonderful, charming spot to lay your head when you find yourself in this town. We came to do a show at Mass MoCa, and this hotel is just across the river. It feels like you're staying at a NICE relative's home. The hotel is actually a row of individual houses which have been renovated to perfection, and as... More

My husband and I recently stayed here for 3 nights. What a cool place! After only a day, we felt like we lived there. We stayed in a King room with a porch. Since we lucked out with beautiful weather, we were able to enjoy the outside spaces quite a bit. The room was very large and included a seating... More

My wife and I stayed at the Porches Inn on two weekday nights in mid-May. We paid $180 for a one-bedroom suite, including breakfast. At this price, we could not have expected more. First, the high point. The inn could not have been any closer to MASS MoCA. It's almost as near to the entrance of the museum as the... More

Dear Guest, Thank you for your recent stay and the feedback. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay. Yes indeed, we are very closed to Mass MoCA and North Adams downtown.

I had a reservation bookesd here. My event in town at a local restaurant was cancelled so i tried to cancel my room and they said they have to keep $145.21 of my money. This is extremely poor customer service and i will never attempt to stay there again. I would rather drive farther to another place.

My first visit. Fantastic use of old housing. Like a B&B but with upscale amenities like a heated pool, hot tub, sauna. Loved the spacious bathroom in our one-bedroom suite. I'm not a big fan of kitch, but it worked as good as it can in this case. I tried not to look at the thrift-store-inspired "art" on the walls.... More

This place is amazing! We were here for our wedding weekend and everyone fell in love with it. We had two bonfires while we were there, and s'mores of course. The hot tub and pool and sauna are all 24 hours. It's so nice not to have time constraints. There is a great continental breakfast which includes a block of... More
