Top plug in my room #5 doesn't work even when I push the red and black buttons to reset the electric. Smallish room but very nice bedding. The free channels TV doesn't connect well but it's there. There is WiFi too.There is a central bright light or at least in my room to make it inviting to read. I really like that. The switch was a bit tricky to find for it as I thought it would've been an outside light but it is a good thing I tried all the switches. It feels like which the slight juxtaposition of the light switch for the center of the room, they had read a prior review that said the room felt a bit too dark. While a typical motel and even hotels might not consider being accommodating to this aspect, this motel wants to stay at the top quality and rank wise and they really get it. Because of the area they are in and the competition with Maple Terrace, they want to stay competitive but they really seem to enjoy managing a motel here too. The staffer was telling me how this motel is #1 in the area and bragged about the breakfast. Maple Terrace seems very comparable with here but I get the sense they offer more food here. Seems like you can't go wrong by with either is my impression. If you've never been here before, you should start here for the fresh fruit offered if nothing else. The pool here is out of commission at the time of this review. I don't know where it is and I asked. I think the guy was trying to tell me it was being cleaned or needed a lot of work. This continental breakfast is one of the best in the area. I definitely ended on this place because it is still reasonably priced by today's standards and you get a lot for your money. You can tell a lot of care was put into everything and you aren't just another number. I wanted to take one of every fruit because it would guarantee I would eat healthy for a bit more but so felt embarrassed even though I probably could. The night before, they let me have two bottles of water and a sugar free apple juice and then gave me two more water bottles. With the weather and traveling, I would not turn down free water. read more

My friend and I are backpackers and the Willows Motel was the perfect place for a rest day! They picked us up for free from the Pine Cobble Trailhead and our room was great. The motel had free breakfast which was great and substantial enough for hiking. They even helped us arrange a shuttle a little farther up the trail since we were skipping the next immediate section. They were super accommodating and kind :) read more

They stole their website from another hotel or motel. Therefore all of the information is unreliable. Big things, such as ocean view rooms on the west coast of Massachusetts. More practical things hikers rely on, like guest computers and shuttle services. Their lackluster breakfast fruit display doesn't make up for the fact that the woman who runs this business told me she hopes I "break my leg on trail" because I mentioned the website, (and therefore was nervous about their integrity) and asked for a receipt at check out. The Williamstown Motel, 300 ft up the road was incredibly kind and accommodating after switching over there. read more

Easy distance to visit several art museums. And lots of fruit with cereal and bagels for breakfast. Owner very friendly and helpful regarding directions and restaurants. Good value. read more

As has been said in all the reviews, excellent breakfast. Proprietor couldn't have been nicer. Our room was clean. Quiet. Did not hear Street noise. It's a tiny bit shabby and the room lighting is dim. Not bright enough to read a book in bed which I like to do. Nice touch included electric strip for charging devices, above average towels, coffee and microwave and frig in room. read more

Hey, it's a motel and not the Hyatt. The neighbors are heard through the walls. The floor squeaks a little. It is cold until the radiant heat gets going. It fits 2 full beds and a small desk and dresser. The great aspects: -5 minutes drive to Williams college -7 minutes to Clark Art Institute -Very hot water for shower -Radiant heat really makes the place toasty in winter -Huge TV and cable -Really friendly hosts and a solid breakfast with tons of organic fruits. -Olympic Pizza next door is welcoming and yummy Perfect for a college visit or any short stay. We would stay here again read more

Excellent We visited the Taconic Golf Club. We played golf and stayed at willows for five nights. This Willows Motel Is as beautiful as it's surroundings with beautiful flowers . Compliments to the Excellent Front Desk staff with cold water and candy Great Customer service and genuine care for guests! Room was well decorated and the new mattress bed was super comfortable. Shower and bathroom were high end (water pressure and a well built/designed bathroom are evidently important to me. The Breakfast is awesome four different types of coffee and drinks were VERY good and the wait staff excels.Outside the restaurant is a large comfortable fire pit with Adirondack Chairs and a great end to the night. So close to college and next door Italian Restaurant EXCELLENT STAY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED . read more

Sweet little motel for anyone visiting the Berkshires on a budget! The rooms are small but cozy and clean, the staff is super friendly and helpful, and the location is really convenient - very close to restaurants, shops and sights (Museum of Dog, Mount Greylock, etc). My boyfriend and I read yelp reviews of this place before booking and were amused and bewildered by all the reviews raving about a motel's continental breakfast....until we saw the continental breakfast! Seriously, it was lovely for such a tiny place. They provided bagels, fruit bread, Chobani and Activia, juice, coffee, cereal, fresh pastries, and TONS of fresh fruit. Seriously, they had everything from apples to grapes to kiwis. My boyfriend had his first lychee thanks to this place! They also brought in fresh donuts for all the diehard Dunkin fans - seriously, Willows covered all their breakfast bases. In summary, Willows goes above and beyond when it comes to customer service. read more

Huge new TV, new bed, clean room, early check-in, organic fruit and really lovely foods for the breakfast, very friendly staff. Loved our entire experience! Would deff stay there again if in the area! Very inexpensive! read more

We went to this motel for five days as our kids had camp at Mass MoCA and we were out of State. The best breakfast that anybody has ever served in a hotel! Organic tea, seasonal fruit and nuts, and some sweet treats. My son had a stomach ache and I asked if they had peppermint tea, and the owner made us fresh ginger tea with honey. It was delicious! The pool in the back was also a big hit with the kids! I highly recommend this hotel! Super friendly people and everything was very clean and welcoming! read more

If you're looking for a motel that's convenient to the college, modestly priced, friendly, that over-delivers on effort and care, you can stop looking! The couple that runs this place could not be nicer. The outside of the hotel demonstrates their love and appreciation for nature and for gardening. The whole place is very well tended and everyone seems to be working very hard. My room had 2 Queen beds, new mattresses, a large TV on the opposing wall, Wi-Fi, an abundance of towels, and I was perfectly happy there. At one point, I thought I had a problem with the heat. It was late in the evening, but he came over immediately with an electric radiator! The continental breakfast was so much more than that label suggests. It was served right in the office, and had all the usual offerings. It also had separate bowls of 3 different kinds of nuts, separate bowls of 3 different kinds of organic berries, and separate bowls of different types of organic fruit. There was granola and even Chobani yogurt, as well as different kinds of toast good bagels, ecetera. I happily took mine back to my room with no nasty looks. I also noticed 3 European fellow boarders, a retiree couple with connections to the area and a young couple hiking the Appalachian trail and a few singles. I would so go back! Great experience. And trust me, I was due. lol read more

Five star breakfasts served free Consider: fresh berries. (Blackberries raspberries, strawberries ). Apples pears peaches in large quantities. Muffins. Breads and bagels. Cereals (packaged and oatmeal)with whole milk. (I suspect the milk to be organic it tastes great ). Fruit yogurts , plain yogurt. Juices: orange and cranberry. Good coffee. Nuts (walnuts. Pistachios. Almonds). Dates. I am sure I'm leaving stuff out. In short a banquet of fresh healthy foods. Read other reviews for other details my take is: rooms are very clean especially the bathroom. Beds are all new and comfortable. Well functioning internet access. Furnishings a bit blah but given everything else....a great place to stay. Reccomended. read more

A '50s or '60s old-style motel: clean and cozy, with a lovely seating area outside beneath the willows. The management is above-and-beyond friendly and helpful; the breakfast is delightful. read more

We stayed 2 nights at the Willows Motel for my niece's graduation. It's a very pleasant 2-story motor court which has been refurbished recently, everything from the parking lot and landscaping to new mattresses, complete bathroom makeover and carpets. The owner/staff were very pleasant and solicitous, and could not have been more accommodating in making sure we were comfortable and had everything we need. We were there in a heat wave, it was 96F outside, but the powerful A/C unit kept the room as cool as 66F if we desired. The continental breakfast consisted of various fruits, yogurt, muffins, juices, really good coffee, etc, and there were several umbrella'ed picnic tables outside that made for a great setting. Even though we booked 3 nights and cancelled one of them after the deadline, they did not charge us for the extra night. We did not find time to try the pool, but it looked well-kept and clean. Everything about our stay was pleasant, and we highly recommend staying there whenever in the Williamstown/North Adams area. read more

I've stayed at the Willows twice now during Solid Sound season. Clean, comfy beds, and hearty breakfast in the morning! Paul goes out of his way to make sure you have the best stay and not to mention there is a delicious Greek restaurant right next door!! Totally recommend! read more

We love love love this motel, have been staying here on and off over the past few years. Some years were pleasure trips, others sad reasons to visit. The owners have let me in late at night, even on the spur of the moment when all rooms but the largest suite were taken, they let me have a bed before venturing to the hospital to visit my ailing parent. We've come in from Chicago on motorcycles, rental cars, even towing our 55 Chevy, and they always made sure we were comfortable and securely parked. The rooms are always clean, and the owners very pleasant and accommodating. Recently they have been doing room upgrades which are awesome. Love having the continental breakfast, plenty to choose from, on the deck by the office, or just having a glass of wine by the picnic benches. There is so much beauty in the area, so many activities including the colleges, museums, galleries and theatres...mountains and so much more....come during any season...the area will always make you feel at peace. For me, there is no other place to stay, and as the years go on, i will only be coming to town for visits to the cemetery, but I know that my stay will be pleasant and my visits comfortable. read more

Fits the bill of budget friendly, clean and safe (security cameras on premises). Friendly proprietors, fresh room. New bathroom, Comfy bed. For those interested no wall hair dryer in bathroom. I had my own so no biggie. Although we stayed on a rainy dreary day and night i can tell this is a cute place for hanging out outside the room. Well kept grounds. read more

Solid. Split the hotel with 3 others Solid Sound weekend, and my bedmate and I didn't need to spoon to fit comfortably on the bed. The room was clean, well-maintained, simple, but had a dorm-sized fridge (very important on a festival weekend)! This has been the cheapest option of hotel that I've stayed at for the last 3 Solid Sound festivals, and also the closest to Mass MoCA at only 4.3 miles away - it's set up right next to one of the festival shuttles (mere steps out the door), but since I'm a walker I actually walked the 4.3 miles to Mass MoCA and it was a really lovely trek, too. Would definitely stay here the next go-round! read more

Had a horrible experience at a prior stay at a different motel, and this place was like a breath of fresh air. I was so pleased the minute I pulled in the driveway. The grounds are beautiful with the gardens and picnic tables, and the rooms were clean and comfortable and well kept. Would definitely stay here again! Great for an inexpensive place to stay in the Berkshires. read more

The room was was clean and comfortable. The bathroom was on the larger size for a hotel. The grounds are beautiful and the perfect place to eat your breakfast. The breakfast has a wide variety, including fresh fruit. The staff was friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. The only con was the parking for an inner corner room. read more

Bottom line-- this motel is just fine. One of the cheaper options in the area, it is a good driving distance from North Adams (10 minutes to Mass MoCA) and walkable to Williamstown center (just under a mile to Spring Street and just about a mile to campus center and the theater). The room was fine in size and came with a queen bed, AC, fridge, instant coffee service, and TV. The sheets and towels were nice and clean and there is daily housekeeping service. I wished the pillows were softer but hey, it's a motel. The mattress was fine. Also, even with the shades closed, there is some light from the parking lot that gets in. There was a small private bath (shower and tub). A nice touch was the close line in the shower, which allowed us to dry our swim suits without them dripping all over. Unfortunately, the room smelled damp and the floor, in fact, looked and felt like it gets soaked on a regular basis. Perhaps this tracks from the bathroom or seeps through the ground; I'm also sure that in winter, skiers and other visiters track in snow. The bathroom had a fan to suck away steam from the shower, but it sounded like a jet engine. This dampness/smell was the biggest drawback. A variety of candy bars are offered free to guests (this struck me as odd but nice, even though I didn't have any), and there are muffins and coffee in the morning. We did not attempt to procure said muffins, and I didn't see them anywhere, but I'm sure they were around somewhere. As a plus, they have a heated pool (it didn't feel warm, per se, but on the hot days that was fine). It is not too big but quite deep (it drops off to 7+ feet). There are some chairs and tables around the pool that seem a little the worse for wear. read more

Not your average roadside motel. Very friendly and attentive ownership, grounds are meticulously kept. Rooms are smallish, but whatever the water is hot, nice big HD TV sets, mattresses are on the soft side but whatever. Pro tip: Look in the drawers they have an extra pillow and blanket. Found that when we were checking out, but nice touch! Healthy breakfast foods to choose from are provided in the office room in the morning. Nuts, berries, yogurt, fresh fruit, etc. Or if youre like me they have Hostess donuts ;) They do have an inground pool in the back too, but it was empty because we stayed before June. Empty is better then ugly with ducks swimming in it, like you might find at a place nearby for $20 bucks less. Would recommend as a great value choice to new visitors to the area. And dont make the mistake I did which was drive to Lanesboro to go to Mt Greylock. The North Adams entrance is right on the same road 2 miles on the right from the motel. Very glad I did the research and found this motel. First choice when we go back in the fall. read more

Just a small motel, but super clean, and Rita is very friendly and sweet. As an added bonus, Olympic Pizza is about 500 feet away. They have a great staff and wonderful food. read more

We really enjoyed our stay here. While the rooms are not huge, they are very clean and well maintained. Our room had just been newly renovated including a new rug and mattress set. The staff was beyond friendly, and helpful. They went out of their way to accommodate us - even making excellent suggestions as to where we could pick up a great evening meal. If we are ever in the area again, I'll be sure to book a stay here. I recommend that you consider staying here if you're in the area. read more

I stayed here for a trip to Mass. for my sister's college orientation. Funny story, but it's not the hotel we reserved a room for, but we didn't realize that until much later that night. My mom and I stayed in a room with a single bed and it was just fine. The owner is incredibly friendly, had recommendations on where to eat, and had a small breakfast for us the next morning. The room was clean and comfortable enough for one night. The bathroom, likewise was clean. It was small, but that was fine. It served our purpose. Overall it's a quaint little place. I enjoyed it and I'll definitely stay there again the next time I go up to visit my sister. There's Cumberland Farms very close and next door was the Olympic Pizza and Diner where we had a really good dinner. The owner suggested it, and I'm glad he did. We were pretty much the only people there most of the time, but don't let that concern you if you go. The owner was spot-on with his recommendation. They do have a pool, though we didn't use it, so I can't really review that, but it looked nice enough. read more

This motel is great. Got here late and got right into the room. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. The best part about this motel is the continental breakfast! They had every fruit you can imagine! And kiwis! read more

I stopped here for one night on a road trip and was pleasantly surprised. The place is kind of adorable. The staff is friendly and was more than happy to tell us about the town, gave us the internet passwords right off the bat and made sure we knew they were available if we needed anything. Plus there was a patio area and chairs set outside the rooms so people could sit outside and talk, which was cute. We could hear people talking from the room, but it wasn't anything that bothered us. The room itself is just fine, no complaints. And there is a breakfast in the morning in the office. Overall, I don't see myself ending up in the area again, but if I did, I'd definitely come back. read more

Picked us up from the trail! Super friendly family that runs it, super clean! Took a shower and then took a dip in the pool

The motel itself was fine. Nothing special, but fine. Last year I had a fine stay there. This year I had a TERRIBLE experience with the owner. First, he lost my reservation (which I'd made 11 months prior) and I had no room three days before my trip (he did find me a room in another motel, crisis averted). Second, in negotiations to right the reservation situation, the previously friendly owner morphed into someone who was accusatory, hostile, inconsistent, and repeatedly interruped and had no interest in listening. It was quite shocking, definitely disrespectful, and felt downright demeaning. Needless to say, I will not return there. If your reservation is straightforward (as I had intended mine to be), I'd imagine your stay will be lovely. If not, good luck. read more

It was clean, cheap, very conveniently located & looked as if everything had been upgraded or renovated recently. I was glad Cumberland Farms was two doors down when I wanted a microwaved burrito at 1 AM. read more

Great Motel close to MoCA. Staff is great and really helpful. He saw that we had a group of four and upgraded room at no charge. New mattresses and huge smart tv. Nice quick breakfast with fresh fruit. Would def go back read more

The location of the business is on route 343 west of 22 (the locator was wrong when I tried to find it using the map). It's your basic room, tv, and shower. The owner was nice and the room was clean. It was the least expensive room I could find in the area, and I was glad to have stayed. read more

Sweet, little, budget-friendly motel. Huge flat screen tv and new mattresses provided a very restful sleep. (The decor was not impressive but when you're near Mt. Greylock, MASS MoCA who needs fancy decor?)The next morning to my delight I met the owner who is an absolute sweetheart. The complimentary breakfast is EXTREMELY GOOD!!!! I was truly amazed. The fruit was all organic and the varieties offered FAR exceeded any other hotel that I've ever experienced. I would definitely recommend this motel!!! read more

Not only is the Willows Motel extremely convenient to Williams College and the village center, the owners are friendly and attentive. They pay attention to repeat visitors, and welcome first-time visitors warmly. The rooms are bright and clean with special touches not always found in most motels. Coffee and tea, a hair-dryer, refrigerator, a small seating area even in a one-bed room. Wifi, although it was slow and sometimes balky. There's a nice continental breakfast offered in the homey reception area too. Overall, a great value, and a good night's sleep in a friendly place. read more

This is an older motel but it does have a pool and was comfortably air-conditioned. In fact, my room happened to have been just remodelled. Excellent mattress - slept very well. Very clean and tidy. The breakfast may not have been elegantly presented but there was a lot of food available and a very good variety. Convenient location on Highway 2 between Williamstown downtown and North Adams. Very accommodating service. read more

Friendly staff, clean and cute rooms and a nice little breakfast in the office from 7 to 10 am.

It's charming :) read more
