What guests say
8.9 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 86 guest reviews
The Porches Inn earns consistently strong praise for its unbeatable position directly opposite Mass MoCA, its well-regarded inclusive breakfast, and its spa amenities — particularly the outdoor hot tub and heated pool. Recurring gripes centre on the lack of an elevator (a real obstacle for less mobile guests), limited self-service facilities such as ice machines, occasional noise from street-facing rooms or pet-friendly buildings, and rates that some feel are steep for the region. Overall sentiment across the 30 reviews is enthusiastically positive, with most guests considering the experience well worth the price.
