Hampton Inn Hadley / Amherst Area

Worth the Drive to Avoid Big City Prices, Grime and Hotel Decrepitude
Just a fantastic property and a welcome break from hotels in Hartford, Boston and Worcester during a harrowing trip checking out colleges.
Slept so well and were so impressed with the housekeeping we changed reservations (but added a two hour commute) to stay a few more nights.
And don’t forget to drop by Atkins Farms Country Market for an amazing assortment of quality snacks and things you can’t find anywhere else. The baked goods including fresh doughnuts and hot beverages are great any time.

This hotel is everything I expected it to be in it’s class. It was affordable, clean, with plentiful parking, and the staff was friendly and helpful.
We booked a suite which in reality does not include more than one room but rather is a slightly larger single room with a couch, microwave, and refrigerator.
The pool was clean but closed randomly each day for hours at a time. We were able to work around it but it was a bit annoying as we have two young children who wanted to be in it as much as possible.

I don’t stay at these type of hotels very much but found this one to be far and away better than most. I booked this on line and got a good competitive rate. When we arrived check in was fast and easy. Coffee and tea ²⁴⁄₇ in the lobby. All clean with pleasant staff. Good location just off the main road so there was no road noise.

One of the better Hampton Inns I have stayed at.
Location was convenient being equidistant between Amherst and Northampton.
Plenty of parking in front of the building so you don’t have to haul your bags around.
Room was large and clean, bathroom was well lit. Fitness center was good with various exercise and weightlifting machines plus dumbbells.
Staff was friendly and prices were reasonable.

This place is horrible. I stayed here for 18 days in total in a 2 year period out of necessity, and both times, the hotel organized something where they let an unbelievably obnoxious crowd stay during both times. The first obnoxious group was a group of teenagers who came into the exercise room and started recording themselves humping pillows and each other – no joke. The second obnoxious group was a group of parents and kids and they just invaded the swimming pools, breakfast during the morning, and the hallways, while drinking beer and being loud. The staff was perfectly fine with all that.
Both times me and my partner came here, a huge rash broke out on her body because of the cheap chlorine used to clean the towels and covers. That didn’t happen at Marriott. It’s also worth noting that the maids drink beer while cleaning. I saw a beer can as I was checking out, and it wasn’t in the trash. The hotel also gets angry at you if you try to get yourself cereal because you have no cash and you’re starving and can’t afford vending machine food. They also only leave cookies out less than half of the time if you’re starving. The cooks can’t even read the instructions to make a waffle right, and they force you to let them make the waffle because they don’t trust you to do it. They use powdered eggs to make scrambled eggs and their meat tastes overcooked and barely inedible. Horrible and incompetent.
At least this place has free Wifi and a fitness center, and is mostly comfortable.

Over the past few years we have stayed at Hilton properties many times, primarily the Hampton Inn. We have always found them clean and comfortable; this one lived up to that expectation. The only reason I’m giving 4 instead of 5 stars is that for the first time, when we asked for a bottle of water at the desk, we were told to buy one in the vending machine. All other Hampton Inns we have visited have given us a bottle of water for the room.

Didn’t plan on staying here, but got caught in a blizzard while driving on I-​91 and needed immediate safety and shelter. We telephoned from the highway (thank God for smart phones) and were given a quote of $ 139.00 for the the whole family — two good sized queen beds. The room and rest of the hotel was very clean with a nice lobby area with complimentary tea and coffee, a gas fire place, and large screen TV — perfect place to unwind during a storm after 5 hours of white knuckle driving. Staff were very friendly and accommodating and even brought out fresh cookies. Nice pool area and exercise room. Breakfast was typical cereal, yogurt, some fresh fruit and juices, make your own waffles, and a chafing dish with little omelettes (so so), sausage patties (pretty good) and potatoes (quite good). Really a very good deal considering my whole family got bed and breakfast in a nice clean hotel just a couple minutes off the interstate! The only minor comment I have is that the free internet was quite slow up on the 2^nd floor where our room was — it was fine in the lobby. We would definitely stay here again.

It’s really a great 4 ½ star place, but I’m rounding up for great service, convenient location (mid-​way between Amherst and Northampton) and a skip from Rt 91 if you’re only stopping while heading further on. We virtually always like the Hampton Inns better than any of the parent Hilton hotels we’ve stayed at!
Clean, comfortable, nicely appointed room with free Wi-​Fi. Indoor pool of decent size for swimming laps, a nicely stocked and clean workout room next to it, and a very useful, albeit one-​computer, one printer, courtesy business center which was never tied up so I guess one is enough.
Bed was very hard, yet comfortable. All white linens and duvet cover was fresh and lovely. Comfortable selection of pillows — even the non-​feather ones were fluffy and great. Nicely decorated lobby had much seating, with sliding doors hiding their free breakfast buffet setup. A TV, fireplace, couch, granite bar seating area and lower tables and chairs. Very inviting, lovely and informal. Round the clock complimentary coffee, hot chocolate, tea self service.
Only downside — and this is a serious one — there are no mini-​fridges in the (standard) rooms or even available on request from housekeeping. For chilling drinks, leftovers, yogurts or whatever, this is very inconvenient. (However, the front desk has a small staff fridge and were glad to stash our small cooler there overnight for us, though no freezer to re-​chill our ice packs. For those of us hiking in the area, those are essential!)
We asked for a quiet room and, except for the ceaseless stomping of an upstairs guest until 2am, it was a very quiet location. I’d recommend requesting a top floor room to avoid this problem. (I think there are just 3 floors.) They provide complimentary earplugs — but only one pair so, if there are two of you and you want to sleep through morning vacuuming, ask for an extra pair from the desk.
We would absolutely stay here again. At just over $ 100 a night, it was a great bargain, quiet, convenient, and very pleasant.
(There is a strange «village» of shops in partial construction and disarray right next door so you might inquire about any noise that may come from that if they resume construction, and adjust your room placement accordingly if you are not an early a.m. person.)

Hampton Inn does not pretend to be the Four Seasons, so one should not think concierges and award-​winning cuisine here. What this hotel does well is provide friendly service, clean, large rooms, with comfy beds, good working space with wifi, etc.
They have a complimentary breakfast that is admittedly pretty weak and right off of a food service truck, but it is free and there is a wide selection of stuff to eat.
This hotel is only a couple of miles from I-​91 and is very close to the center of Amherst — so the location is very good.
In the equation of you get what you pay for, this Hampton Inn did right by me.

I don’t typically do a lot of reviews for hotels, but since we had a few awkward experiences here while I was staying here for a wedding this past weekend, I thought I would share.
First off, my friend had booked a room block a year ago for her wedding. She guaranteed them a good amount of rooms, and they didn’t even offer her any sort of comps! Not only that, but they didn’t even give her one of the suites that were supposed to be in the room block! They finally gave her a «suite», which really wasn’t much, and then started a fight with her the night before her wedding over the price. Very unprofessional, and it was really handled in the wrong manner.
My room was decent, although it had a very weird smell. I tried to remind myself that I was in a hotel, but this was beyond even your typical hotel smell.
Checkout is at 11a.m., and they actually called my room just past 11 to see why I hadn’t checked out yet! I understand the concept of checkout time, but I would think there has to be a 5 – 10 minute grace period.
I’m sure that some of the appeal of staying here is the proximity to Northampton and 91, but I would do yourself a favor and stay at the Courtyard Marriott about 8 – 10 minutes down Route 9 towards Amherst.

Nice place good breakfast in the morning would stay here again

I usually stay in room 300. If not then room 330 will do.
This Is definitely the place to go. Just remember to ask the tall, dark, and very handsome young gentleman at the front desk for help. You will get anything you want.
