Places to Stay in Northampton
Places To Stay
The following list gives you some options to check out for lodging. I don’t have personal experience with many of these places, so please give me feedback about them.
Stay close to Northampton, the workshop location. The farther north you go, the more scenic, the farther south, the more urban. Public transportation to and from the workshop is available, (check the bus schedule).
When making reservations ask how long it will take to get to Cooley Dickinson Hospital.
Northampton is a fun, active small city—lots of great food and things to do at night.
Lodging tax here is 9.7%.
