Comfort Inn & Suites Hadley - Amherst

Comfort Inn & Suites Hadley - Amherst

8/10 Good
"We stayed for two nights while attending Family Weekend at UMass. We booked a suite that had a separate living room area and kitchenette and a separate bedroom with two beds. The bedroom side of the room was quite large and spacious. The living room area was smaller than expected. They gave us an accessible room and the sink was outside the bathroom in the bedroom area. We didn’t use the pool but did use the gym and that was okay, kind of small. It was mostly cardio equipment. The area is very convenient to both UMass and things in Hadley. The beds were comfy and they provided two types of pillows, firm and softer, which was a nice touch. The sign to enter the hotel is tiny and you’ll miss it if you aren’t looking or using an gps. Overall, it was a nice stay and we’d stay there again."
