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

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.

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…..

Stayed on the pond side. The pool looks like it hasn’t been used in years! The beds were very hard and we didn’t receive enough towels for the amount of guests we had but everything else was fine. It was clean, safe and in a nice area.

It was very nice, we had a large room, porch with chairs to set out side, it was more than we expected. Only knock i can give them is, they said there was wifi they gave us a password but the signal was so weak that it only connected for a couple of minutes then it was gone. Went to the office, they said thy would look into it. It never worked during our stay. I would definitely stay again, but if you cant live with out wifi ,this might not be your spot.

Had booked a brookside room but when checked in I was put in a beautiful barnside room with fireplace, big bathroom etc come to find out that all the brookside rooms were closed due to code violations! our room was beautiful (barn side) but we had no control of the heat which was only thru a wall fireplace and space heater - dangerous! Outlets had extension cords and lights near a canopy bed that screamed fire hazard, water was iffy and pressure came on and off. Toilet didn’t always flush. Jacuzzi tub didn’t work. No one in office for entire stay other than check in so we had 2 towels and 1 roll of toilet paper for 2 nights /3 days! I have stayed here before and found the property cute and charming and dog friendly but I will be looking for a new place to stay when visiting the area going forward.

The room was clean and the ac worked well. There was a constant noise off and on all night that woke us often, perhaps an ac unit outside. Buckling ceiling tiles in bathroom, one lamp did not work. Some of the signs said "spa". There was nothing spa-like about this motel. No "on" button on the tv remote. TV was not local channels. No shade on one window.

No refrigerator in room in arrival. No towels in the room at arrival. Phone didn’t work so could not call desk from phone in room. We made dinner reservations at 7:30. We were not told it was closed. We went to empty restaurant and had to call to find out why closed. She claimed it’s always closed she had no idea it was closed. But when asked how she made the reservation it went into they are closed on Sunday Monday. But we were never told that. And have DEFINITELY dined there before. On a Sunday. We have visited often as it is USUALLY a pleasant experience. Our child goes to a near by college so we visit at least once a year. I hope they restore the better service soon.

This hotel has so much potentiel but the current mangement has let it go . the rooms are musty and the smell of mold and midew is present , bed was hard as a rock . i was looking forward to the jetted bathtub to soak and relax . honestly i wouldnt bathe my dog in there it was filthy, the parket lot was muddy and the lighting was up to our room my husband had to use his cell phone light to see. i forgot to mention the strong smell of cat urine also in the bathroom . i told my husband we cant stay here i cant breathe, we callled front desk got offered another room it was just as bad, we left and went to hampton in , we most llikiely wont see a refund . that hotel needs to be condemned. or sold to people that will take pride in it and bring it back to what it could be .

Hotels.com should drop this hotel

The hotel told me there was a water problem with the room (116) and nobody could stay in it. They lied. They were just overbooked and sent me to another hotel. I had to pay again at the other hotel and resolve my own refund with hotels.com. I know they lied because my son stayed in room 115 for the same two night stay and room 116 was occupied. They cancelled out a hotels.com customer and took someone else who most likely had booked direct and/or paid more than me. I used to work in hospitality and overbooking happens. When it happens, you find another hotel for your customer and pay that property on their behalf. You don’t make the customer pay again and have to go though the process of filing for a refund with their agent.
