Comfort Inn & Suites Hadley - Amherst
Really convenient to UMass campus and Amherst. Rooms and bathrooms were large but note that walls are very thin. Luckily our neighbors were considerate! Breakfast had good options. Only con was that Fox News was blaring through breakfast which made a bad start to the day.

Quality Inn West Springfield
I feel like the picture has nothing to do with the place. The place was nothing like the picture but when you need something last minute, it is what it is.

Fairfield Inn & Suites Hartford Airport
We use this hotel often but it's looking worn. The shuttle service is terrible.
