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.

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.

We very much enjoyed our night at theThe Porches Inn. Check-in was easy, the room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The shower was the best rainfall shower I have ever had and we even had a claw foot bathtub! The only drawback to our room was proximity to the main entrance door of the building which could hear opening and closing. We would have liked to use the exterior hot tub but it was not available due to pool renovations. We were able to enjoy the sauna and shower as an alternative. The breakfast was ample for a \"continental buffet\". Lastly, the free car charging was a life saver! I hope I have the opportunity to visit again.

It was a great stay at a place that was a cut above the usual hotel stay. Breakfast was provided but we only ate there 1 day for we wanted to experience things away from the place. There are many delicious places to eat for breakfast so try it. The location was perfect allowing for walking around whether to MOCA or finding other shops. While we didn’t bring our dog along this time, perhaps we will next time.

The Porches is a super cute and unique place to stay. The rooms are cozy and shabby chic. I loved the proximity to MASS MoCA, the outdoor heated pool and hot tub, and the truly excellent continental breakfast (local organic yogurt, smoked salmon for bagels, great scrambled eggs and potatoes...)!
However, our room location nearly ruined the experience for us. We were in room 26 in the yellow building, just above the open reception area and entry/exit door. We got back around 10pm from a concert at the museum, and could not fall asleep until about 2am, as we could overhear other guests coming and going, checking in, and every time the door closed, it would slam shut. I was lying awake and in tears for hours. We tried earplugs, a white noise app on my phone... but if we ever got close to drifting off to sleep... SLAM! the door would shut and the room would rattle. We finally got just a few hours of sleep before morning activity started. I couldn't believe there was so much coming & going for a small inn. And if we had wanted to sleep in... no chance, this room is right above the breakfast room and we could hear guests chatting and dragging their chairs.
I've stayed in hundreds of hotels in my life and *never* had such a loud, bad night of sleep.
At check out, the front desk staff were conciliatory and offered us a discount on a future stay... and I would love to visit the area again. I just wouldn't recommend this specific room to anyone who can't sleep through noise.

The pool was slightly colder than I expected but it was 5 degrees outside and windy so its understandable. The hot tub was very comfortable. I would love to stay here again.

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!

This place is a real gem in the heart of the Berkshires. It is about a 7 minute walk to Mass MOCA and about a 10 minute walk to their \"downtown\" area with shops and restaurants. It is about a 30 minute drive to Mount Greylock, the highest point in Massachusetts. The rooms are very spacious and very clean and each room has a porch you can enjoy. One thing to note is that there did not seem to be elevators for getting to the second floor, so dragging luggage up and down was kind of a pain. Very helpful and friendly staff, great breakfast included with your stay, and actually good coffee. 10/10, would stay again.

Happy Stay at The Porches

When it comes to rooms, we are typically a “you get what you get” couple. Meaning-we take the room that we are assigned. The Porches proved to be the exception.
After returning to the front desk because our room was too close to the road in front of the property, we were offered another room in a more quiet area. The front desk greeter and Manager were very accommodating which we appreciated.
The decor of the hotel is what might be described as “shabby chic”. No complaints other than some of the “vintage” furnishings seemed more like Goodwill than flea market or antique store acquisitions.
The room was fine, mattress was medium firm and the pillows were fluffy. Good thermostat for regulating temperature and extremely quiet HVAC system. Hot water came out quickly from the shower head and nice touch with the Porches custom bathrobes.
Breakfast was very nice - Bagels, cream cheese, smoked salmon, locally produced yogurt, Vermont cheese, freshly cooked scrambled eggs, roasted potatoes, etc. You get the picture.
The hot tub was very pleasant and a nice way to meet fellow travelers. Although we didn’t go into the pool, it looked very clean.
A nice getaway in a lovely area.

It said hot breakfast but no meats, other than cold salmon. For the cost, I had higher expectations and was bummed out because I paid more than I normally do for a room.

The staff was kind but the overall hospitality was subpar for this nightly rate.

A hot pot of water or coffee during the day would cost little and go far. Probably much nicer in better weather
