Porches Inn is the greatest
by apfa
I have stayed at the Porches Inn twice. I went up to North Adams to see the exhibitions at MASSMoCA, a tremendous experience. The inn was filled with delightful surprises -- the rain showerhead and the huge bathrooms. I am embarassed to admit that I loved rolling around in the Frette sheets! Having drinks by the fireplace and meeting other interesting people, particularly people passionate about art was a real highlight. This is definitely the meeting place for people interested in contemporary culture.
OK. Eleven Restaurant at MASSMoCA is a cool place to have a drink, but the three meals I had there were all dissapointing. Best restaurant in North Adams is Milan at 55 Main. Fabulous cooking, decent portions, a theatrical, generous and somewhat crazy chef, an intuitive, friendly and knowledgeable sommelier, and a great welcoming time for a single female traveler.
Porches Inn is not to be missed.
- Pros: decor, amenities, comfort

not your run of the mill B&B
by JThompson
An amazing restoration of mill worker housing, with an elegant pool, totally wired, and funky decoration. The beds are amazing.
Neighborhood has a ways to go, but across the street is MASS MoCA.
- Pros: the pool, the free DVD's, the beds
- Cons: no restaurant

Absolutely Excellent!
by LenoraFarrington
All the amenities and they're hip and trendy, too! Great atmosphere. Great entertainment nearby - MASS MoCA and the brand new restaurant 11 right next door, 10 minutes from The Clark Art Institute and Williams College Museum of Art, AND centrally located between Mt. Snow and Stockbridge. It doesn't get any better than this!
