"The hotel is well-situated on the middle of Smith College. It’s about a 15mn walk into Northampton. The hotel is clean, but looks like it was flipped, rather than having a full renovation. The bathroom is basic, and the water in the shower never gets hot, lukewarm at best. The sink gets hot, but not the shower…seems like a way to save money. The bed is comfortable, and the split-unit works fine. Breakfast is good and the lounge area is pleasant, as are the outdoor areas that provide seating. The staff are delightful and very attentive. The hotel is a safe and solid place to stay."
