    The property is on a busy road. I was glad I asked for a room on the backside of the property. It was disappointing to find there was no coffeemaker in the room. Breakfast was good. There was quite a variety of items. They had coffee, but no decaf coffee. A staff member suggested diluting the regular coffee with water. When you can’t have caffeine that’s not an option. I was glad we stayed there but probably wouldn’t go back.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Beautiful surroundings, great location! Walk to restaurants, walk across the street to Mass Moca. Walking trails nearby. Cute swimming pool. Will definitely stay again.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Great & comfortable place, good staff. Free (simple) breakfast! A pool, hot tub. And the incredible Mass Moca right there. Our second time here, & we’ll be back.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Unique place. Very comfortable bed and clean. Great location right behind MassMOCA

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Very cool accommodations with the Mass MOCA museum just out the door. Clean and attractive, and comfy with a decent buffet breakfast. We came for a concert in Studio 9, which is on the property, and it could not have been more pleasant and convenient!

    So charming, so lovely. It exceeded our expectations and very much hope to return!

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Everything was wonderful at porches. I love the special antique charm. Loved breakfast. The fresh berries were the best. The staff was attentive and helpful. I really loved the claw foot tub and rain shower head. I can’t wait to return.

    I loved it all! Great location, really nice staff, beautiful property.

    Uneven stay. Conveniently located. Hard to locate the correct parking. Nice breakfast. Uppity atmosphere. Other guests looked very annoyed that there were children taking up space in the breakfast room. And when I pointed out to the front desk that the minibar prices / menu in my room were not visible, nor was the minibar locked, that was all somehow an egregious fault on my part, rather than "thanks for your honesty and patronage." So, lots of lovely things, and the ego of knowing they're the only nice place in town.

    Uniquely designed to maintain character of the old timey structures yet very modern.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    It's a lovely property and the staff is wonderful.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Staying at room 26,our concern was using the steep and narrow steps staircase

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    And perhaps most importantly it’s a short walk to Mass MoCA!

  • Engine customer May 2026

    A charming place. Insufficient parking since there was a wedding on site.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Loved my room, staff were friendly and helpful, and the breakfast included delicious bagels and lox. I hope to return, though I will specifically ask to not stay in the building that houses reception. It’s an historic building so not soundproofed, and I could hear every guest checking in and out, and all the sounds from the kitchen during breakfast hours - it was just a little noisy for me.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Very beautiful hotel! The room was very clean.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Absolutely loved our room #26 in the Blue Building. The sauna was great, met really nice people who were also from Boston and going to THATH concert at MassMoCA, which was a 7 minute walk. The lobby bar and library are very quaint along with the entire interior. The breakfast was awesome. Fresh Lox & scrumptious bagels there fresher baked. We highly recommend

  • Engine customer May 2026

    We really enjoyed the layout of the property and proximity to MASS MOCA. Hotel was a little loud due to the rooms being in a older houses with wood floors, so we were up a bit earlier than we hoped. Overall we had a nice one night stay.
