"Nice rooms, fridge available, comfy beds and decent showers. Only problem is no elevator for 2nd floor. And heavy doors to go through. Friendly helpful staff. Decent price. Right on the P20 bus line. Lots of restaurants in the area and Holyoke Mall is like a 5-10 min bus ride from the hotel."

"Everything about my stay was perfect. After my initial review of "outstanding hotel and service", I was impressed all the way to the end of our stay. I'll start out today's review with the breakfast buffet. The buffet was "above and beyond", it was better than any complimentary breakfast I've had in any Motel/hotel property. make your-self waffles with all the fixings, small "pocket-size" omelets, hot & cold cereals, biscuits and sausage gravy (superior quality commercial frozen heat & serve product), great bread & beverage options and nice selection of whole fruit. All with good hot beverage choices and accompaniments. Upon return to the room (APPROX 8:15am) was already out on our floor, hard at work knocking on door offering their cleaning services. we weren't ready to check out so they said they would return after we left. They were "very polite" about being turned away. Finally, checking out was short and sweet completing a perfect stay. Well Done, BRAVO!!"
