10/10 Excellent
"Good for a quick weekender to be between Mt. Toby for hiking and Northampton and Amherst for dining and brunch options. Lot of families and kids around that weekend and a bridal shower or similar but didn’t spend much time at the hotel anyway other than for sleeping and having the stay over nearer to where we wanted to be in the morning.
