Courtyard by Marriott Hadley Amherst

I really enjoyed my stay at the Courtyard in Hadley while attending a conference at Amherst College in early January 2026. At another time of year, the walk to campus would have been easy, but icy sidewalks made it a bit challenging. Even so, I wouldn’t hesitate to book my next stay there—January included—thanks to the outstanding staff at this location. Both the front desk and housekeeping teams were exceptional. I misplaced a small gold necklace in my room that could easily have gone unnoticed, but the housekeeping staff turned it in right away and secured it safely. Jayden at the front desk was incredibly kind and compassionate (the necklace had sentimental value), promptly checking with housekeeping and arranging for its return. That level of integrity means a great deal to me and make

Rarely do I check-in to a hotel and feel particularly welcomed and excited, and Julie provided that unique experience at the front desk. She took the time to explain the unique qualities of the hotel in a clear and concise way, and then helped us as we sought to enjoy the food we ordered. These words may fail to capture the positive energy she uniquely expressed, but please know that was experienced. And yes, this is a fantastic hotel! We enjoyed the view outside including white snow and the wrap-around landing a bit below our second floor.

We loved the location. The room layout was better with the bed facing the window backed against the bathroom wall. The fridge was larger than most and functioning nicely. There was a comfortable sofa with one large and small pillow. We even loved the bed comforter which appeared fluffy. The bathroom had a small divider wall near the toilet for some slight privacy of one person while the other was using the sink. The bathtub has a built-in seat at the far end if you need to sit while cleaning. Even the supper large lobby and outdoor patio area were larger and unique. We loved this hotel just a bit more everywhere.

The staff was very friendly. The room was clean. The rugs and couch in the room were new and in excellent condition. The bed is very comfortable. It was quiet. The air conditioner worked very well. We enjoyed our stay and would stay there again. Thank you. If I were asked what could be better, I would add a shelf under the sink and/ or a shelf under the mirror at the bathroom sink. It's nice to have a place to put toiletries that is not on the countertop. These are simply suggestions for ways to make the accomodations even more comfortable.

We had a wonderful stay at the Courtyard Hadley Amherst! Shannon checked us in and was an absolute gem—very friendly and uplifting. Kyle at the front desk was also incredibly helpful and welcoming. Our room was spacious and comfortable, and the Bistro staff were attentive and kind. The lobby and fitness center were lovely as well. We would definitely return on our next visit! Thank you for a great experience!
