La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Springfield MA

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Springfield MA

8/10 Good
"Beds and pillows were super comfortable. One of the downsides was the bathtub where water was not draining very well. The breakfast was good. Unfortunately, there was a big group of students and the staff was not fast enough to accommodate such a big group in time resulting in long waits for food trays to be replaced. Overall, good stay. Would stay there again."

Inn on Boltwood

Inn on Boltwood

10/10 Excellent
"We had a wonderful time at the Inn. Often we stay at a local chain restaurant, but I was glad we chose this Inn, as the staff was very friendly and accommodating, and the hotel was located right in the center of Amherst - very convenient to walk to restaurant, colleges etc. The room was nicely appointed, it was dark and quiet at night, and the shower was spacious and had great water pressure. Would definitely stay here again if in area!"
