Wasnt sure what to expect, but I was nicely surprised, this place is way more like a boutique hotel than a B&B. great facilties - sauna, heated pool, hot tub seem to be open any time. plus a really great breakfast.

This is the perfect place to stay while visiting Mass MOCA (and why else would anyone be in North Adams?). The staff are friendly and helpful, the rooms are spacious, and there are nice amenities. Two problems to be noted: (1) the lighting in the rooms is not very good and they can therefore be pretty dark; and (2) the... More

Spent a night with my daughters at the Porches Inn, got a great off season deal (March) and really enjoyed ourselves. From the pool and hot tub, to the yummy breakfast, to the friendly front desk staff, it was a great place to stay, and it's a very short walk to Mass MoCA. I would recommended requesting a room on...

This is a charming and lovely property. THE best place to stay when your taking a trip to Mass MoCa. Staff is friendly, the rooms are shabby chic in the best possible way. The outdoor pool(open year round) and steam/sauna is fantastic. The hospitality here is thoughtful, "Would you like some popcorn with your dvd?" "Fancy a cocktail before you... More

Smack dab in the middle of the Berkshires in "The City of Steeples" is The Porches Inn, several former workmens' cottages charmingly reimagined as high end lodgings for a wonderfully diverse group of travelers. The beds are super comfy, the furnishings funky and casual, the art is cleverly chosen to reflect the history of the area. Staff is cheerful and... More

My husband and I loved this Inn. The location is great, right across from the Mass MOCA and within walking distance from some great restaurants. The staff were friendly, helpful and funny. The room was clean and charming (they describe the decor as "Granny Chic"!). We loved the extras: a daily newsletter with local events, a bottle of wine with... More

Everything about this hotel makes me love it. Hot tub under the stars in the snow was awesome. Mini bar and fire in common room makes for a cozy evening. Room are spacious, comfortable, well-kept and well-decorated. Just a great home base every time. We'll be back.

Dear Guest, Thank you for staying with us and taking your time to write feedback. It's fun for families to enjoy heated pool, hot tub and sauna in the middle of winter. Our heated pool deck makes it easy to shift in from one to other. I am very sorry that you found hot tub a little bit smaller. Please... More
