Pros

Common area with complimentary coffee and tea service

Professional property management

Multiple local attractions within 0.5-0.5 miles walking distance, including Amherst Farmer's Market and Amherst History Museum

Smoke-free environment throughout the property

Cons

No on-site restaurant

Located 40.5 miles from the nearest major airport (Bradley International)

“For a practical base close to both the town and UMass, this spot makes a lot of sense, especially considering what other options charge for parking alone. Rooms include necessities like a fridge, microwave, and coffee maker, plus reliable climate control. Sure, it's no-frills, but the location and price strike a good balance.”
