The Trail in Adams - Berkshires' Art Hotel

Unique art-themed little inn - perfect because my visit was focused on a visit to Mass MoCA. Very comfortable bed. The property uses organic, natural, and environmentally safe materials. I loved the focus on locally-made contemporary art! The communal areas were pleasant and well maintained, and stocked with interesting art and local history books; the communal kitchen area is fully functional and very clean, and the manager, Kate, was friendly and helpful. No breakfast is made, but coffee, tea, and breakfast foods are available in the kitchen. It is in a kind of funky run-down old neighborhood, typical of older industrial Mass towns that have seen better days, which initially surprised me but was ultimately quite comfortable and safe. This is the kind of unique and special place that is hard to find, and adds a lot to a visit to the area.

Only one strange thing: the bathroom, while very clean, held a strong smell of old body odor. All the linens were clean and fresh-smelling, so that was not the issue. This was more of a “weird” than a “yuck” smell - not what you would call bathroom smells, and was only noticeable in the bathroom itself, not the bedroom. Also, like any old house, there was a certain amount of noise from other rooms and people’s comings & goings - creaky stairs & floors, outside street noise, conversation in public areas. Not a problem for me, but perhaps could be for more noise-sensitive folks.

Great accommodation, very stylish. Room was excellent. Kitchen facilities perfect. Completely relaxing. Veggie wife so local restaurants offer limited fayre. Did excellent & good value diy salad from Hometown Markets. Quick response from staff to all our queries

The location and artsy decor.

Everything was on a standard level. Nothing exceptional. .

It is very inconvenient that there is no 24 hours reception. For the quality they came to have and for the price I would expect to have service around the clock. We had a problem with the tub and we had to call someone from home. As I mentioned the jet tub didn't work. We did get a refund for the difference. There is no real breakfast, just few items that you take out of the fridge yourself and make your own meal. The parking is not very accessible and a bit far. The directions to get there were not very accurate.
