Stay on the Scenic Side of Beautiful Williamstown. Cozy accommodations, bountiful breakfast buffet included, family friendly, secluded outdoor pool bordering brooks. Have fun playing Badminton and Volleyball on a sand court, test you skills on our Bocce Court, shoot some hoops and at night enjoy sitting under the stars in the woods at our lovely fire pit. Near: 3 World Class Museums, Williams College, skiing, hiking, shopping,so much to see and do.
Star ratings are intended to indicate the general level of features, amenities, and services to expect. This property is classified according to Giata.
Wonderful stay. The grounds are gorgeous as the property is directly on a lovely, active streams with a deep forest backdrop. Lots of places outside to sit, a heated pool, a basketball hoop, volleyball net (they have the balls, too!), and surrounded by nature on three sides-- it sits on Route 7 just outside Williamstown proper, easy access to all points Berkshires. Jiminy Peak and Williams College both within 10 minutes. Also comes with breakfast -- waffle maker, toast and bagels, fruit, cereal, coffee, milk, juice and a tasty homemade quiche with eggs spinach and mushrooms were on hand this stay. Joseph the manager is a great guy, if there is an issue (missing soap or something) he gets on it quickly, no issues. We have stayed here maybe 17 times over the last 20 years and since Joseph and recent management took over (3 years ago or so) we've only seen an uptick in maintenance and appearance of this lovely longstanding Berkshires institution. Ask for a room in the back if you wish to have a room directly on the stream (there is a gazebo, a swing and some chairs directly on the stream to eat, chat, meditate or read a book). The common areas (lobby, breakfast room) are comfortable, and you can use them all day, with nice chairs, etc.) Finally, there are the usual necessities -- wireless access, TVs with Roku, coffee makers in the rooms, etc. Just got around to writing a review because why not? We've had another pleasant stay this year, so happy to spread the word. We intend to return.

A wonderful value, a responsive manager, a very clean room, a great mattress and breakfast included big bowls of fresh blueberries and strawberries. Rooms are small-ish.
If you plan to visit Mass MOCA and the Clark Museum, you can reserve a limited number of free admission passes. Reserve them when you reserve your room. For a couple going to both museums, that is an $80 benefit!
Don't reserve a room through a booking site -- call the hotel directly and you will get a significant discount.

Lovely inn in the Berkshires on 7 near Williamstown, it's a family tradition to stay here for 18 years now while we explore the Berkshires. Charming layout, A brook runs through the property, which sits off a forest, there's complimentary breakfast with homemade waffle mix and usual breads, fruits, yogurt, cereal and some hard-boiled eggs offered up, televisions have ROKU on them. Best news is new owners took over a year ago and are making mild but welcome changes. The gentleman who is running the locale, Joseph, is chill and helpful, The pool is actually heated now (never was until last year, despite being advertised as such), they put a volleyball net up in a corner, there's a bocce ball court, but none of it has sublimated the quiet charm of the location. It's not fancy, but it's always been pleasant and looks like they're investing in keeping it that way.

This place could not have looked more different from the way it was described in these photos and reviews. We were shocked at the dilapidated condition of the exterior upon arriving. The paint on the building was peeling, the grounds were dirty and littered with broken stuff. It looked deserted. The pool, bocce ball court, fire pit and other features described looked as though they had fallen apart and been unused for a long time. The manager gave us a key to our room which we found to be unacceptable. My husband, who used to manage hotels, found the room to be unclean, unmaintained, dusty, dirty, and found melted water in the ice bucket. I was more disappointed that the room was not pretty or charming in any way. It was dark, and smelled musty. No sound of a rushing stream. We peeked in the windows to see if other rooms looked any better and they all looked the same. No lovely antiques in sight. We decided to leave and find somewhere else to stay, it was just too depressing. The manager said we would not be able to get our money back, which was not surprising. He repeated that the place is a rustic country inn. I just want to say that we have stayed at many rustic country inns, and we stayed at several on this particular trip, and this place is no country inn. It is a seedy run-down motel right on the highway. I wouldn't recommend that anyone stay there. I'm sorry we didn't take more pictures, we just wanted to get out of there and until I had time to look back at all the glowing reviews I couldn't understand how I had made such a bad mistake.

These pictures you posted seem rather silly. Hangers in a closet, what is wrong with that? A picture of the Keurig Coffee maker? Isn't that a good thing? Why a picture of the extra comforters? We use Duvet covers on all our beds that are replaced after each stay. There is no peeling paint. The buildings were completely painted three years ago. The pool is closed for the fall. Do you expect an outdoor pool to be open in October? People were playing on the bocce court when these guests were shown to the room. Deserted? We were sold out that night. There is no litter anywhere on the grounds A few drops of melted water in an ice bucket? How outrageous? The bottom of the shower was sprayed the day before with Flex Seal and some of it was spotty. It was and is 100% clean. They must have had earplugs in because there are two babbling brooks that lead into a waterfall that hug the property. There are plenty of antiques in the lobby and breakfast room. Who would keep such things in the hotel rooms? There is a reason we have such "Glowing" reviews. We take meticulous care of our lovely inn. Lastly, to all the folks who read this review, these guests received a full refund.

I have stayed here previously, and after a long days drive, I walked into the lobby and was greeted by a warm and welcoming environment. The lobby looked NOTHING like it used to! You can easily see the new managers Heather and Hannah really care about this place. They were both super friendly and accommodating, I can’t say enough good things!! I was showed to my room, and let me be the first to say, the rooms were immaculate and smelled fresh. (They used to be not so great and smelled closed up). I saw the stamped toilet paper ladies, great attention to detail. And while I was too busy to stay for breakfast, their layout was very well thought through with a little something for everyone, it smelled heavenly! Whoever the owner is made a wise choice hiring these women, the hotel has made leaps and bounds since I was last there a few months ago. Keep up the good work!!!!

I stayed here because everyone else was booked up. Prices are reasonable for the amenities offered. I especially enjoyed the heated outdoor pool, after a long day of traveling around it was the perfect way to unwind. There is a volleyball court and bocce ball area. I also noticed a fire ring with chairs around it. The rooms themselves are kept clean, and beds were comfortable. The manager Joe is a super friendly and very helpful. All around great guy. The hotel offers a country home vibe, and you feel like you matter when you walk in. It not like those huge corporate hotels where you are just a key card. They also have free wifi which helped a ton! I will certainly go back and encourage others to give this place a try!

My second stay at this very quaint hotel. It is small and quiet, and nestled in the woods. We enjoyed the sitting around the fire pit and breakfast in the large lobby/dining area. It is a convenient location to the college, mountains, hiking trails, major roads, and area attractions.

Have come here few years now, love this place to be honest. Joe the manager is awesome and super helpful and friendly, the pool is great every year and nice with the heat too. Very close to a lot of wonderful restaurants and hiking areas as well as music and art venues. They even have a badminton court that's pretty nice too surrounded by the tree line it's a cool experience. Breakfast is great too waffles fresh fruit and coffee even cereal toast bagels yup got a good amount to feed even me haha! But seriously I come here a lot and it's my favorite place, try it some time!

We stayed here in July 2023 and it was mediocre. The hotel is dated. I think I left a dental appliance there that is worth over $500. I called several times and left voicemails, I sent emails through their web site, and still no one has replied to let me know if they found it.

Save 25% by booking on our website: stayberkshires.net or calling us directly at 4134586148. I am sorry that we could not find your dental appliance. We did in fact call you and spoke to you about it. No emails were ever received. If you would like to call the owner directly you may do so: His name is Stephen and his phone number is 5186819544. As far as your spiteful comments, our Inn has CountryVictorian rooms with beautiful hardwood flooring and furniture. For our bedding we use fresh duvet covers so guests never have to face a dirty comforter. If you're looking for a modern, impersonalized look and experience , you should try a chain hotel. They will also give you a generic response to your negative reviews as well.

This hotel has such a unique and beautiful surrounding with a nice quiet location. Lots to do, and very, very clean. The rooms all had very well working air conditioners and dehumidifiers to make the hot days much more comfortable. The manager joe went above and beyond with his service, and even walked us to our room to make sure our family loved it and were comfortable. The beds were very comfortable, and breakfast was amazing. I’d give it ten stars if it let me.
