This was a very nice, historic Inn on the green in Amherst. It is a quintessential New England Inn. A fantastic place. And very interesting and local dishes in the restaurant. A charming place.

We recently stayed at this lovely Inn and found many things to appreciate, though a few details kept it from being truly exceptional. Parking was well-organized with clear instructions and a provided pass, though it was quite a walk back from the lot. A 10-minute loading zone in front of the Inn made unloading luggage easy. Our room was spotless and thoughtfully prepared, with an air purifier added for my allergies and scent-free bedding exactly as requested. Both the linens and mattress were excellent, though the bed frame was noisy enough to make sleeping difficult. The evening experience was wonderful — the gentleman at check-in made us feel genuinely cared for, our dinner server was attentive, and the bartender created a fun, welcoming atmosphere. The next morning, however, the tone shifted dramatically. The staff seemed disengaged and borderline rude, which was disappointing after such a warm evening. It felt as though the A-team handles dinner and events while mornings are left to whoever’s available. The Inn itself is beautiful, and with consistency in hospitality, it could easily be a five-star destination. We’re only an hour away and often visit Amherst and Northampton — I truly wish the morning had matched the evening’s grace, as we’d love to return often.

May I Live Here?

The Inn on Boltwood came highly recommended by a friend who teaches at Amherst. It did not disappoint. I've traveled a lot and stayed at many hotels, but I've never wanted to just live in one before. The Inn is immaculate and beautiful. The staff were friendly, kind, and welcoming. Malina, knowing I was there to visit the Emily Dickinson museum in honor of my retirement from teaching English for 46 years, gave me a book of Emily's poetry and a bookmark when I arrived. I was thrilled and so surprised. The food in the restaurant was incredible. It was delicious and I could not even finish it all. Amherst was my favorite place on this trip and I'd love to see it in the snow. It would be worth flying across the country from Idaho again just to stay at the Inn on Boltwood.
