If you are traveling to or through Williamstown, MA be sure to book a stay at the wonderful 1896 House . The rooms will remind you of a country Inn with lots of comfort and very clean. The 1896 House has its own bar and restaurant serving the best lobster mac and cheese in the northeast. The staff is attentive... More

We stayed in the upstairs suite at the pondside motel. It was a really pretty spot, and our rooms were comfortable and spacious, with a nice view of the pond, the ducks and a visiting heron. This would be a perfect spot for a family in non-rainy weather (it rained throughout our stay, sadly). The breakfast that came with our... More

We visited Williamstown with friends for 2 days for my birthday. We spent 2 nights at the Brookside Motel and it really was brook side. The sound of the rushing brook was lovely, with chairs nearby to read or just listen. The room with the king size bed was roomy and comfortable. We had dinner at the '6 Pub the... More

My husband and I spent our anniversary at the 1896 House and everything was absolutely fantastic. We spent 2 nights in one of the barnside suites with a gas fireplace, great furnishings and we just loved the tub. I would highly recommend it to everyone. The breakfasts were great too.

We spent a recent weekend at this motel for a local graduation. We reserved 3 rooms in the Brookside motel. Loved the location hidden from the road. We sat at the tables outside and were able to visit with family members between festivities. We had dinner at the '6 Pub right next door and could walk to and from dinner.... More

Our stay was delightful. We relaxed for a couple hours sitting under the trees by the brook watching the birds at the feeders near the office. A very peaceful setting even though the road is actually quit close. Our room was very clean and comfortable and wonderfully decorated with county charm. We opened the window that faced out toward the... More

The suite at the 1896 house was wonderful. It was clean, bed comfortable and the Jacuzzi worked well. The breakfast provided was very well prepared and was delicious and the restaurant that is on site had great food!

After reading the reviews on Tripadvisor, we were really excited to stay here, but overall, we found it average. It is basically the same as a chain hotel. If you are looking for a good deal and want a clean room, you will not be disappointed. (Although I am not sure that the other B&Bs listed are that much more... More

It is unfortunate that this guest elected to stay in one of our motels and expected a B&B experience. Although our motels do offer a full breakfast, we do not advertise them as a B&B. Our B&B which is our Barnside building, receives only rave reviews, and would offer what this guest had hoped for, along with a gourmet breakfast.... More

My daughter and I stayed here for just one night while visiting Williams College (2 miles away). The room was very clean and comfortable. Bathroom was very spacious and it seems it was remodeled just recently. Even though this motel is off the road, the rooms are very quiet and we could not hear a thing at night. Breakfast is... More

Though it looks like a typical .50's motel from the outside, the rooms are great. Dark knotty pine walls, spacious, with nice clean carpet. Our room had a king 4-poster bed and a jacuzzi tub/shower. Convenient location near Williams College, and a complimentary hot full breakfast buffet at the pub next door. I'd stay here any time.
