What guests think

At River Valley Inn, reviewers consistently note clean, recently renovated rooms, comfortable beds, and welcoming owners, describing a quiet, budget-friendly stay that is convenient to Northampton and area attractions while retaining an older, no-frills motel feel.

Several mention basic but useful touches like in-room mini-fridges and microwaves, plus easy parking.

No coffee service in room and office lobby was not open until 8 AM without special request. Found used towels in our bathroom- had to ask for clothes hangers and cups for water Refrigerator was iced up. Management was gracious but having to repeatedly ask for basics was tiring and it was poor vale for $

Plenty of parking and reasonably close to restaurants and other facilities. The room is small and there were no closets, but it was comfortable. There were no cups or coffee in the room, but they were available in the office. The owner was nice.

Check in was nice and easy, the lady running the front desk was very friendly and helpful. The hotel itself looks like an older hotel that was recently renovated. Nice beds, nice bathroom, a mini fridge and microwave in the room. No complaints, I was pleasantly surprised with everything. 5 stars.

Room was super clean and was perfect for a place to sleep that was quiet. However, the scent in the room was very overbearing and I don’t think the door locks from the inside, which didn’t feel safe.

Stayed for one night (there for Family weekend at UMass Amherst). The owner (Christopher) called ahead of time to ask about our arrival time and to see what temperature we would want the room set up at. He welcomed us upon arrival. Quick and easy check-in. The room was very clean. Bed (we had a king size) was comfortable. AC/heating unit worked very well. I would definitely consider staying here again if we can’t find a closer to Amherst alternative.

This was an unexpectedly exellent stay. The rooms were very spacious, very clean. The owner was very pleasant and helpful. The beds were also quite comfortable! Having stayed at two other properties during our visit to the area, I can say that the River Valley Inn outshined the others. We should have booked there for more nights.

Most likely the cleanest motel I've ever stayed at. They reached out ahead of time to see when we thought we would arrive so that they could make sure the room was cooled for our arrival. Run by an extremely friendly couple. Very comfortable beds! Would definitely stay there again!
