Williamstown Motel

Lovely, super clean motel, great hosts, complimentary breakfast bar, hiker shuttle. Terrific for Appalachian Trail and Long Trail hikers.

Wonderful hosts. Clean, convenient and in a perfect location. Had a last minute stay need for a family member and this motel was absolutely perfect!

First, Williamstown has limited options. As l was staying 2 nights and on a budget, l considered staying at a motel. The reviews for the Williamstown Motel were consistently positive, so that was my choice. Fingers crossed. First impression: the grounds had well-tended flowerbeds and the motel looked newly painted. A sign of care. My room was spotless, with an iron, ironing board, cable tv, coffee-maker, cold fridge and microwave. The small bathroom was supplied with a hairdryer and the usual variety of bath items you'd find at a mid-range hotel. The queen bed was fine. The continental breakfast was in the motel check-in area. It was more varied than l expected. (All but those make your own hotel waffles, steamed eggs and soft bacon.) A few tables, sofas for seating. The owners are an earnest young couple anxious to please.

I took a room with a queen bed for the night calling about 7pm the friday of check-in and arriving a half hour later. In the interim, my innkeeper had unlocked my door, turned all the lights on and gotten the wall-unit going. The feel is kitschy and a honest retro throwback where accommodations were simple and accessible. The innkeeper was cheerfully at the desk when I arrived, curious about me and perfect on making sure I was set with no fuss. The motel layout was classic and I parked in front of my assigned room. Inside I found everything for the stay — nicely made queen bed; clock; ports; wall lamps and desk lamps; heating and cooling unit; desk/work area; waste bins; iron and board; completely appointed bathroom with soaps, lotions/shampoo/conditioner and lots of towels, mats, and cloths. The neighboring room guest was enjoying the view of the mountains from the chair and table in front of his room. We had a chill chat. Later I enjoyed a late night sandwich in front of my room after my events with friends. The gardens are classic roadside and add cheer.

Was greeted by a young lady on check-in, who confirmed she was a family member of the owners. There was also an adult member of the house staff. Check-in was quick, efficient, and courteous. I was asked via phone call and in-person how many where in my party and if I had pets, which seemed a little odd but not a bother. The room was small, but clean and comfortable. This is a motel, so don't expect resort accommodations. I liked the outdoor seating area with a couple Adirondak chairs and additional chairs and tables. Would be a pleasant place to eat lunch or dinner. Room had coffee maker (with decent coffee), fridge, microwave, TV, AC, hair dryer, but I didn't see an iron (I didn't need one, just noticed). I didn't try their breakfast, I assume it's just light pastries from the check-in office, but not sure. The location is great, easy to find, surrounded by restaurants (a couple within walking distance), and a little travel to activities. The price was very reasonable, and the place certainly did NOT give off cheap motel vibes.

Rocky, Najma and family bent over backwards to make sure I had everything I needed to enjoy my stay! Extra towels and a grab bar in my shower, no problem. I added 2 more days beyond my original 3 days with no issue or room change during this busy time in the Berkshires. Very nice mini fridge (with real freezing comparment!) and microwave to accommodate a few cost conscious in room meals and snacks. A very hospitable environment for my purpose and I would stay here again!
