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

Well, I could have dealt with the broken storm door, and the broken bathroom door. It all seemed "quaint" but then there was no housekeeping, the office wasn't open in the mornings to get more coffee, and then the last straw was that the water shut off around 2am the last night we were there and no place to use the facilities and no one answered my calls until I texted the number which said to leave a message and call 911. I did manage to stop my boyfriend from calling the Board of Health. I asked to be reimbursed for the last night and was ignored.

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…..

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.

Charming vintage roadside motel!

Charming vintage roadside motel! Clean and comfortable with original features like gingham cloth wallpaper and cool pine chairs. This is not a greige corporate chain place! Staff were all really nice, shower was hot with good water pressure. The restaurant had good food and friendly service. A pleasant stop in Williamstown!

Cleanliness and comfort Issues

This could be a great Motor Hotel as all the bones are there. But showing its age and wear. Peeling wallpaper and mold in the shower track in the bath, flickering light in the bath, dirty fingerprints around the door jambs (I wanted to get some magic erasers) Stains on the mattress covers, lumpy hard mattress. On a positive note, the young Man managing the front office was efficient and very friendly!

Barely adequate

Reserved two weeks ahead, busy season, so not much else to choose from in this area under $200. Room was clean, adequate: bed comfortable, bathroom clean. AC worked well and extremely noisy. Turned it off to sleep. Bedside lamp had no switch, had to bring it to office to get replaced. Toilet occasionally kept running. No hot water tea/coffee amenities. Pondside units in front of depressing, dilapidated pond (or pool?).
