A charming little hotel, with tasteful decor. The breakfast is delicious — fresh homemade Greek yogurt, fruits and granola, avocado toast and cereals. The best part is the staff — attentive and friendly!!

The complimentary breakfast was the icing on the cake, gluten free options, healthy and fresh offerings. Beds were heavenly, property was clean, quaint and beautiful. Felt like royalty!
Great property with amazing staff. Close to Smith and in an historic area. Lots of great dining options, places to walk, close to everything. Easy check in and out, free parking, and good breakfast.
What a gem right down the street from Smith College. I had a beautiful room on the second floor. The staff were friendly and helpful. I enjoyed my stay and look forward to going back again. When I unpacked my little bag for my overnight, I wished I had brought enough for a week. It was so wonderful.
Fairly Basic - Close to Smith and walking distance to downtown. Staff were pleasant. I would have liked to be able to make hot water in the room, but they do have a nice area inside the main lobby to find snacks and warm up water.
This is a very special place. The rooms are very well thought out with many intelligent details that made my stay more comfortable.
Great breakfast. The coffee is organic :).
The staff are always available and very responsive.
Also it is quiet!!
I love this place
The Ellery is nice and quaint and the staff is very engaging and helpful. They treat people as their valued guests.
The breakfast is outstanding and so is the attendant, Mare.
