This hotel raised it's rates 200% when the Solid Sound music festival came to town. The room we are in was unbelievable. Dark, dingy, musty. Archaic. Shades, curtains and the bedspreads are all ripped. Lamp shades are stained. How does a lampshade get stained? How are they getting away with this? (I know, because chumps like me pay the rates.) I would never, ever recommend this place. Boy at the front desk was nice.

The Northside has a great location compared to other Williamstown motels. It is on the Williams campus, in walking distance to any attraction in town. The rooms are spartan, poorly decorated and needed to be updated 20 years ago. However, the rooms are clean and very inexpensive, which is in stark contrast to the dirty, overpriced Williams Inn next store. There are nicer motels in Williamstown, but if you are looking for a great location and don't plan to spend much time in your room, the Northside is a good value.

Poor internet access, often lost connection. Bathroom tiny, smells like humid locker room. Curtains but no shades so either have light/air or no privacy as people walking by can see in room. TV very old- not flat screen. Breakfast food cheap- like truck stop choices- cold cereal, styrofoam cups, packaged food. Redo seemed to be only putting in ugly patterned rug. Fridge but no coffee machine or microwave in room. Very disappointing. Walls thin, woken up by next room conversation. Baking soda container under bed!

Great value and great location. Hey the rooms aren't that great but honestly look what your paying. You get 2 beds that are clean and pretty comfortable and a clean, hot shower. What else do you need
