Most of the hotels in The area would require a car to be able to get into Amherst center but not this one, you can walk into and out of town with easy. It is also very clean, reasonable, and friendly.

Clean rooms and a great price. Susan at the front-desk mentioned all the rooms will be getting an upgrade to full screen TV. The Wifi signal wasn't that strong, but usable for email (no video streaming). Clean and friendly staff. No breakfast, but plenty of options downtown.

My husband and I stayed there when we attended Family Weekend at UMass. Proximity to the University is the only positive thing about it. Because it was family weekend, we ended up paying $170 after taxes and fees! It is not clean, musty smell, stained furniture, etc. I don't think the rooms have been updated since the 70's. Would not... More

Basic, bare bones room. Carpets and furniture are from the Richard Nixon era, or earlier. But it's under $100 and you can walk to downtown. Nothing here to attract rock stars or put you in any type of romantic mood. First room we were assigned to had not been cleaned by housekeeping! Remember to lock the door!

Stayed here for a couple of nights as needed to be near the university for start of term. The rooms are okay - bit basic but perfectly good for what we needed for a couple of nights sleep. We were on the upper level - which seemed better. Didn't realise they had the internet until reading the other reviews after.... More

Looking at the reviews, I see a large price difference, which makes sense, between the on-season and the off-season. There is one gotcha, the office closes at 9pm and the lights go out. But you can check in at 10PM, as we found out, by doing it. We had no idea the office closed at 9 until we arrived. Room... More

Moving my son into a new house, I needed a quiet night's sleep. The University Lodge was perfect. Quiet, clean and, at $80, a bargain! A couple things to be aware of. First, the office closes at 9 PM, so you need to check in before that. Second, the internet is slow, very slow. If you want to get work... More

This motel is in walking distance to the University of Massachusetts, and that is probably the only reason why one would stay in this somewhat old place. It looks like it hasn't been refurbished for more than 20 years or so. It is a rather basic accommodation, complimentary wifi is available, but no breakfast or any kind of room service,... More

We needed a reasonably priced place for one night in the Amherst area, and the University Lodge met the bill. We had to check in through HoJo because we arrived later in the evening, but that went fine. The hotel and furnishings are older but the room was sufficient, and we enjoyed staying in the university area.
