The Lord Jeffery Inn, Amherst

No really, it was quiet... too quiet. Room service? Fuggeddaboutit ! Courteous staff? What Staff? Everyone's been fired. Amherst closed the inn for renovations that now may never happen. Disgraceful.

We stayed in a suite here during the winter. The fireplace in the dining room was roaring and the meal was fantastic, a gourmet treat. We didn't have room for dessert and the waiter asked us what we would have ordered to eat and drink for dessert. About an hour and a half later there was a knock on our suite door and the waiter was there with our desserts. It was quite a surprise. This place is exceptional for service and the staff is very friendly and accomodating. We'll be back here again many times. TAB

Don't stay here in the winter. The rooms are nice but our bed was between windows. No storm windows, the wooden single pane windows didn't fit in the track. We had to use extra pillows and blankets to cover the windows so we didn't freeze at night. We visited other rooms in hopes of changing rms but they all seemed to have the same problem. I can't imagine the bug problem in the summer. This place needs major window upgrades. Great location and food, staff was accomidating.

We stayed here twice this past summer and were impressed with the friendliness of the staff and the delicious food. The bathrooms were small but that is to be expected with historic lodging. I loved the fireplaces, antique furniture and even the creaky wood floors. Don't stay here if you want a standard, boring hotel room but if you want charm and good food, this is a great place!
