Excellent

The manager was extremely kind and helpful. The room was freshly painted, had nice faux wood blinds, wooden floor, a new bathroom and a comfortable bed. The desk and rest of furniture were old and worn out; they are probably remodeling little by little? Free parking in front of the room, open wifi.
Nice host/owner. Clean & convenient to UMASS. Good value for money.

Liked: Staff & service, room comfort
New owner was very nice at check in offering snacks, coffee and a small gift bag with chips and chocolates. Room was small and dated but updated floor and bathroom along with nice bedding, very comfortable nights sleep!
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.
Very accommodating and friendly staff. Rooms have a mini-fridge and microwave which really helps. Comfortable and nice. Not a 5-star property but met my immediate needs.
Newly remodeled by the new owners. Interesting old motel.

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
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 $
This was a lovely stay. My room was far larger than I expected, clean, newly renovated, well priced. It was literally 7 minutes from Northampton where the rooms were 3 times the price.
Room was clean, check in was easy, owner friendly, bed was comfortable - only complain would be no clothes hangers or closet, and another choice besides Roku TV would have been nice. My mom wanted to watch NBC news and we couldn’t find it.
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.
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.
