The Porches Inn at Mass MoCA

What guests think

The Porches Inn at Mass MoCA delights many guests with its quirky historic charm, comfortable rooms, welcoming staff, and a well liked complimentary breakfast, plus standout amenities like a heated outdoor pool, hot tub, sauna, and thoughtfully kept grounds.

Its location across from the museum and near downtown makes exploring on foot easy. Some guests noted street or internal noise in certain rooms, creaky floors, and the lack of an elevator to upper levels. Expect a characterful boutique stay if you prefer personality and comfort over uniformity, and consider requesting a quieter room away from the road.

Absolutely lovely. Bed was super comfortable, staff was friendly and helpful, lots of places to sit and relax. Easy walk to restaurants and across the street from the MOCA. Nice breakfast and you can even get a drink and a snack in the evening if you want. The sauna, whirlpool and heated pool at the end of October we a pleasant surprise.

Very unique but fun property! We loved the outside hot tub. Very friendly helpful staff. Only thing we weren’t a fan of was the no outside alcohol policy. You had to purchase from their mini bar or onsite bar at front desk. Odd but that’s their rules. Other than that loved the place!

We went off season and it was very expensive for the size and condition of the room. Since it was mostly empty I would've loved an upgrade offer. I had to call the front desk and the phone was so sticky and dirty, one of our robes was dirty, had Chapstick in the pocket and food stuck to it. Lastly, the breakfast wasnt as good as I had hoped. 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.

We spent a couple of nights there with our doggie. It was very comfortable and relaxing. The room was very clean. Loved the design of the hotel, and the grounds are very well cared for. There is a fenced in dog park right next door. We had to be careful not to bring the pup into inside areas where the other guests were. A bit restrictive but worth it to follow rules so we could travel with our fur baby. Breakfast was great.

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.

Very beautiful, peaceful property with lovely porches. Everything was extremely well maintained and the staff was thoughtful, helpful and kind. The public rooms are welcoming and comfortable, and the porches are great. The private room was small but just the right amount of space. The bed was very comfortable. The breakfast was fresh and delicious with many diverse offerings. The granola was excellent.

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!

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.

We had a great stay. The breakfast buffet was outstanding. And the staff couldn’t have been more helpful and accommodating. The hotel blends just the right mixture of “old” with all modern conveniences and the grounds are lovely. Our room didn’t lend itself to one person watching TV if the other person wanted to do something else - it was a bit small for that.
