I was up at the MoCA and decided not to drive home in the same day, so stopped at the 1896 House and got a room at their Brookside motel. What a treat! Retro woody room, (spotless) and the innkeepers were SO welcoming! I was alone, but they made me feel right at home and even joined me in the... more

My husband and I wanted to get away for 3 nights just to relax and found the 1896 House Brookside Motel to be the perfect spot. From the minute we drove up and saw the peaceful brook and lush, green grounds and the cute and tidy motel we immediately knew we had picked the perfect spot to relax. We received... more

That saying is certainly appropriate as it is the feeling you will have upon leaning the Guest Suites at the 1896 House Country Inn and Motels in Williamstown, MA. The suites were beautifully appointed and extremely clean. There is a Pub on the premises that serves excellent food in a very relaxing and comfortable atmosphere; it has just the right... more

We could only stay one night and would have loved to stay longer. The surroundings are beautiful, especially the stream that runs through the property. We didn't get a chance to take advantage of the restaurant for dinner, but breakfast was good. The room (we stayed in a Barnside room) was charming and romantic with lots of nice touches. Outside... more

The dinner menu is adequate. Staff is experienced and friendly. If you need a fitness work-out, you'll need to find a nearby trail. Based on my three-day experience there, I would highly... more

This is a wonderful place, we stayed in one of their luxury suites (206) and it really was luxury! The breakfasts were excellent, the service was excellent, the setting is wonderful! Won't say more or we may not be able to get in again because it will be overbooked!!!!!!!!!! more

Service Value Cleanliness Dining Stayed On: 3/2009 My wife surprised me with an overnight stay at the 1896 House in Williamstown. We may now have the spot where we'll celebrate both of our birthdays in years to come, and maybe other events as we enjoy the area. Each of the staff we encountered were warm and hospitable. We stayed in... more

recommend the Barnside Suites - we stayed in #201, Early American, which was very nice and large. All the suites have gas fireplaces. The bathroom had a 2 person whirlpool tub, but you'll have trouble with the separate shower if you're claustrophobic and/or carrying a few extra lbs. The way the tv and bed are positioned, 2 people cannot comfortably... more

The 1896 inn in Williamstown, MA. has a great location and offers a lot for the price that you pay. Although the wood finished rooms were nice, the rooms would be more comfortable if the television was placed in a more direct location. It was placed so low that we had to move it on the desk to see it.... more
