Funky, boutique vibe and very creative use of an old factory housing eyesore. NOISE. The hotel is just a sidewalk away from River Street in North Adams which is heavily traveled by trucks and speeding loud vehicles. Impossible to sit and enjoy the front porch in conversation.

Kathleen

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The unique interior deign and furnishings are definitely the selling point. Unfortunately, we had not stayed there before, so when we booked, we didn't know enough to request a room removed from the main reception. Ours was above the front desk and breakfast room. Door slamming, dining chairs being pulled in and out, dishes clanking, staff chatting and eagerly engaging guests all contributed to disturbed rest. Not anyone's fault per se, but stay away from those rooms!

The historical significance and what they have done to make it look like a rooming house for workers from the 1930's etc was done really well. Staff was nice and the breakfast was very organized and had good options.
