This hotel and its partner down Main Street about half a kilometer are comfortable, well attired older Amherst homes with very friendly, flexible staff, comfortable accommodations, and all the necessary basic amenities (toiletries with small but clean and well organized bathrooms; free wireless; and breakfast included). There are a limited number of parking spots by the Amherst Inn and a few along the side street. The decor is classic New England with some quirks and plenty of promotional material on local history and cultural options. And the price is quite reasonable!

This is a very small inn and we were unexpectedly pleased with our accommodations. Our room was small but it had EVERYTHING we could possibly want. The room was immaculate and price reasonable. The exterior of the building was well maintained as were all the furnishings inside. II highly recommend this charming inn.

My girlfriend and I are Emily Dickinson fans and we were up overnight to visit her house. The inn is located right across the street from her house and that made the inn extra special. Anne the innkeeper is wonderful, the breakfast delicious with the best eggs I ever had, and it actually feels like you are sleeping in a warm friend’s house. The only minor issues I had were that we could not figure out how to make the room cooler and it did not appear that there were any staff around to assist us in the evening. Also since there are no tv’s in the rooms, the one tv in the shared common room should offer more channels including espn for the sports fans among us. The location is a 5 minute walk to
Town which is really nice and there are plenty of dining options available there, but don’t eat too much as you will want to leave room for that delicious breakfast.
