“Inn on Boltwood's Amherst perch”
Inn on Boltwood is a century-old New England inn superbly set on Amherst commons — spacious cozy traditionally-furnished rooms, an excellent restaurant, a charming fireplace lounge with free morning coffee and afternoon local donuts, and short walks to Amherst College and town. Caveats though: facilities are average for the building's age, housekeeping is not provided and no bottled water, and one guest lost a full night after a wrong-date booking was repeatedly refused any refund — they urged booking deposit-only rates.
