Traveling in the Berkshires and want that old school "revolutionary war" Inn experience? River Bend…read moreFarm is the place for you! It's an old house. There are old objects in your room (aka "antiques"). It kinda smells.... you guessed it, old. We stayed in the Parlor room. Visually it looked great, but our bed was rock hard and our pillows squishy soft. Not a good combination. They had extra pillows, but they smelled of moth-balls, so we declined using them. The owners/hosts are amazing! They gave us a country breakfast of homemade granola, fruit, yogurt, homemade muffins and breads, and coffee/tea. They also hung out and told us about local history and their extensive collection of antiques. All in all, River Bend was the epitome of the B&B experience; an interesting house and interesting hosts. Sure their beds could have been more comfortable, but then it wouldn't have been in keeping with the revolutionary war theme.

No ropes across the furniture....you can enjoy life in Colonial times unfettered as did the 10 children who once lived here! Our bathroom was the former butter churn room, evidenced by the presence of butter churns. Our bed was comfortable and modern with top quality linens/bedding, as we dreamt of a bygone era in a room restored to its original glory. There's a children's oriented book on the night table in the parlor room (we slept here) where George Washington and dignitaries stayed in this tavern owned by war hero and landowner, Col. Benjamin Simonds in 1770, a founder of Williamstown. I read the history of the area and in the morning, owners Dave and Judy Loomis generously hosted us with a fantastic homemade breakfast including gems such as quince jam from quince grown on their farm, served with period silverware in the 1770 kitchen with the huge original fireplace and rare baking oven. They lovingly restored this home and made exciting discoveries about Colonial times during the process. Didn't miss a TV...we felt transported back in time and it was magical!

It feels like which the slight juxtaposition of the light switch for the center of the room, they had read a prior review that said the room felt a bit too dark. While a typical motel and even hotels might not consider being accommodating to this aspect, this motel wants to stay at the top quality and rank wise and they really get it. Because of the area they are in and the competition with Maple Terrace, they want to stay competitive but they really seem to enjoy managing a motel here too. The staffer was telling me how this motel is #1 in the area and bragged about the breakfast. Maple Terrace seems very comparable with here but I get the sense they offer more food here. Seems like you can't go wrong by with either is my impression. If you've never been here before, you should start here for the fresh fruit offered if nothing else. The pool here is out of commission at the time of this review. I don't know where it is and I asked. I think the guy was trying to tell me it was being cleaned or needed a lot of work. This continental breakfast is one of the best in the area. I definitely ended on this place because it is still reasonably priced by today's standards and you get a lot for your money. You can tell a lot of care was put into everything and you aren't just another number. I wanted to take one of every fruit because it would guarantee I would eat healthy for a bit more but so felt embarrassed even though I probably could. The night before, they let me have two bottles of water and a sugar free apple juice and then gave me two more water bottles. With the weather and traveling, I would not turn down free water.

The rooms were fine. We were automatically upgraded to a suite because we paid in advance and went mid-week. The bathroom was lovely, nothing to change. The hallways and rooms were a bit dated. Fresh paint, cool colors, but old. The room AC units were loud too. Was ok but wouldn't return. In the hallways there is great unusual art. Like what you would put into your own home which is cool and unusual. The colors they chose to decorate with were wonderful. But, for example, we had a painted old wooden floor with throw rugs. A bit uneven. Not something I'd ever put into our home. The grounds were very nice. It was nice weather when we were there, and we brought bathing suits but the pool was covered with leaves.

The pond was a slough up behind the building well on its way to becoming a swamp. No one was in the office when we arrived (20 minutes after check-in time). We had to call someone and wait.

Screen door in need of repair and stuck hard. Front "porch" was an ill-defined slab of concrete featuring plastic chairs. Ugly and shabby. Not inviting. The best I can say? The room didn't stink and, no surprise, it was not expensive. I hadn't done my usual research before making a reservation or I NEVER WOULD HAVE SELECTED THIS PLACE. I can't believe they're still in business.

Whatever. That's fine. This is a no frills, old school motel with some charming features. The manager, Joe, is very friendly and accommodating. Good at recommending places. Puts out a nice breakfast. The first room we were given smelled like cat pee so we requested another room. Joe took a whiff and agreed. So they do accept pets! Second room fine. We booked our reservation for 3 nights through Booking.com. On our day of check out we said goodbye to Joe so we know he knew we were checking out. Later we got a credit card bill for 4 nights! It took several phone calls to Joe (he didn't return calls) and when we finally got through he argued that we stayed 4 nights. Sent him the booking.com reservation showing we only booked for 3 nights. Finally the owner who lives in FL got involved and he also maintained we had reserved for 4 nights! It was totally ridiculous considering we had the booking.com reservation showing 3 nights. Finally we turned it over to booking.com to deal with them which involved several phone calls, sending our credit card statement, etc. Ultimately booking.com issued us a refund for the fourth night so guess they dealt with the management. So the bottom line is: OK to stay here but be sure to get a receipt when you check out! After writing this review, someone sent me the owner's Facebook link. Now I KNOW I'll never stay there again.
