All was generally great. Except bathroom was very cold and breakfast buffet was mediocre with no meat options, no oatmeal, no fresh fruit except grapefruit.

The Porches is a super cute and unique place to stay. The rooms are cozy and shabby chic. I loved the proximity to MASS MoCA, the outdoor heated pool and hot tub, and the truly excellent continental breakfast (local organic yogurt, smoked salmon for bagels, great scrambled eggs and potatoes...)! However, our room location nearly ruined the experience for us. We were in room 26 in the yellow building, just above the open reception area and entry/exit door. We got back around 10pm from a concert at the museum, and could not fall asleep until about 2am, as we could overhear other guests coming and going, checking in, and every time the door closed, it would slam shut. I was lying awake and in tears for hours. We tried earplugs, a white noise app on my phone... but if we ever got close to drifting off to sleep... SLAM! the door would shut and the room would rattle. We finally got just a few hours of sleep before morning activity started. I couldn't believe there was so much coming & going for a small inn. And if we had wanted to sleep in... no chance, this room is right above the breakfast room and we could hear guests chatting and dragging their chairs. I've stayed in hundreds of hotels in my life and *never* had such a loud, bad night of sleep. At check out, the front desk staff were conciliatory and offered us a discount on a future stay... and I would love to visit the area again. I just wouldn't recommend this specific room to anyone who can't sleep through noise.

Clean room, friendly staff, and a delicious breakfast. The sauna was a wonderful surprise on a frigid day. We were grateful to find an EV charger at the inn. (They could use a couple more of them!)

Wow. This hotel is such a great find. Not only is it clean and unique, the rooms are large and the staff are super helpful and nice. Breakfast was nice. The pool was slightly colder than I expected but it was 5 degrees outside and windy so its understandable. The hot tub was very comfortable. I would love to stay here again. My kids said this is their favorite hotel we have ever stayed at which is high praise since we travel frequently and have stayed in a ton of hotels!

A wonderful property with excellent amenities. The heated outdoor pool and sauna were clean and easily accessible. I travel with my small dog and my room was great. They actually upgraded me to a suite! I would stay here again without question. It is across the street from Mass MOCa, an extraordinary museum. Staff was courteous and helpful.

My room was so big! Very clean, huge bathroom, claw foot tub. Highly recommend this place. It had a great vibe. Was not industrial like a hotel, had a very clean and comforting feeling, like you were visiting a relative. I stayed here for my brother’s wedding at MoCA. Great experience all around. Definitely will be back.

Interesting and cozy property. Good amenities. Wished the noise from the room above wasn't so disruptive. Also wish the tv had a guide function that worked...had to just keep scrolling to find what was on.
