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!

Funky, boutique vibe and very creative use of an old factory housing eyesore. NOISE. The hotel is just a sidewalk away from River Street in North Adams which is heavily traveled by trucks and speeding loud vehicles. Impossible to sit and enjoy the front porch in conversation.

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.
