Very run down, was ok for what we needed. Was expecting something a lot nicer from what was showed on website, also said I was getting a king size bed, walked into two doubles For the price of $230 I should’ve booked the Howard Johnson’s a town over for $110 Disappointing stay but at least got a decent night sleep

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
We were a late check in so did not see any staff. The room smelled of cigarette smoke, the TV remote was dead due to batteries, there is no cell in the area and we were not given the WiFi password. The bed was comfortable but we only had three pillows…..

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We expected more for the amount we paid (~$200/night). Advertising online makes it appear like a charming old resort with outdoor terrace and pool. It was a dumpy version of Grandma’s house, and there was no breakfast available, lucky if you had hot water for the shower. Food was ok (but expensive) at the pub in the barn, but service was very slow and not friendly. We thought Old Williamstown would have had a more upscale experience, but we will not come back again.

Near hiking for Mt. Greylock and the Appalachian Trail. Nice walking area close by at Lamb's Hill. Clean Older mattress, was OK, but could feel springs a little. If you like a tub, it is tiny. The shower is OK

I checked in after hours. Key with instructions left at the front, easy to find. Room was clean and cold from the AC (thank you!).! Room smelled a bit like a motel, but nothing crazy. Bed was firm, but I slept ok.!!

We arrived after 7 pm and it turned out had reserved the room for Wednesday night instead of Monday night. A person associated with the restaurant which was closed on Monday, helped us. He called in to the staff and checked us into a room. Everything went so smoothly and it could have been last minute looking for a different motel.

Lovely inn and great restaurant!

The room was pleasant and the grounds were nice. Nothing in disrepair. The ‘6 Restaurant was wonderful-our waitress was fabulous, decor was lovely and the prices were quite reasonable. A definite “thumbs up” and sure to return.

It’s unique historical property. The front desk allowed us to check in three hours early due to it’s a snowy day. We had a lovely thanksgiving dinner in the restaurant belongs to the hotel.

- The room had a very unpleasant smell. It was strong, and persisted throughout my stay. - The door was very difficult to open and to securely close. Though it was adjusted at my request, it was clearly not fixed. - The bathroom sink drained very poorly - The bathroom light over the sink did not work properly - The counter in the bedroom was broken on one side - The air conditioner filter was filthy (looking for source of smell) - The bedding was stained - The electric outlet was not flush with the wall - No refrigerator in room or ice machine anywhere - Two towels and two washcloths provided

Clean historic Inn

Historic Inn that is clean. If you are looking for something modern this is not for you. If you love a historic inn with all the old charm and character then this is your place. Staff was friendly and the bed comfortable. WiFi password provided upon picking up the room key. Internet worked well. Room was spacious for a family of 4.

The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The lodging was quite charming and in a beautiful setting. Great place to stay if hiking or skiing in the area or just visiting Williamstown and North Adams. The room was comfortable and quiet. The TV audio didn't work properly and there were a couple of lightbulbs out, but we didn't trouble the staff who I am sure would have been immediately helpful. We would definitely stay here again!
