How can I get cheap hotels in Amherst?

Best tips to find a cheap hotel in Amherst

  1. If you're looking to travel to Amherst on a budget, you'll be happy to know that you can find hotels for as low as $85. Of course, that price is affected by amenities, star rating, and even the time of year you visit. At most, hotel prices can be as high as $197. Staying a short amount of time in Amherst is an effective way to reduce hotel costs.
  2. When you cut your vacation down to just a few days, you don't have to worry as much about hotel prices since you don't have that many nights to stay. For budget hotels in Amherst, 3 to 4 days should be all the nights you need. That's generally enough to enjoy the city's top attractions, though there's certainly enough to do to warrant a week-long trip.
  3. When booking cheap hotel rooms in Amherst, it's typically best to book about 3 weeks in advance. Book further in advance than that and you could be paying too much for your room, as hotels will often overestimate future demand. However, if you wait too long, you might find that the hotel has been completely booked.
  4. When you utilize search filters on Expedia, you'll be able to narrow down your results in a flash. These search filters cover a wide variety of factors you may be interested in when it comes to finding a cheap hotel in Amherst, including amenities such as Free Breakfast, 2-star rating, or proximity to local attractions. You can even set filters for price limits to ensure that all the displayed results are within your budget.

Bella Vista Hotel & Suites

8/10 Good
"At check-in the room was not cleaned from the last guests, they had to change our room. The bar and restaurant closed way early so we had no food or drinks. On day 2 we planned to spend the morning in the pool. At 10 am I asked the desk for towels for the pool and she gave them to me. We got in then they told us hey the pool is closed for cleaning. Instead of cleaning the pool before open time at 10 am or maybe even overnight they had it closed all morning. It was a really nice place but the staff really needs better training and communication skills. Breakfast was excellent, bed was comfy, shower was great. I would definitely recommend this hotel"

10/10 Excellent
"There were several minor issues that were taken care of promptly, although the elevator was out the entire weekend. The air conditioning worked properly and the noise was very minimal. I was in the room next to the ice machine and you couldn't hear anything once the door was closed. The room was good and the bed was comfortable. Being able to walk to two of the areas of the park was also convenient. The front desk staff were pleasant and attentive. Breakfast was a slight disappointment in that the buffet was the only thing they served all three days. When I went in the first day and was told it was buffet only, I specifically asked if this would be the case the next day and they said no, Saturday is traditionally buffet only, but Sunday they allow for ordering from the menu. That was not the case. As there were a couple things I wanted to try, I was disappointed that I couldn't. Since the menu is in every room and posted outside the door, a simple sign saying buffet only when the menu was unavailable would have been appreciated. That said, the food was good, homemade, and they did a good job keeping it refilled. Only recommendation would be to invest in some mesh trays to keep the biscuit bottoms from overcooking on the hot tray and to elevate the bacon out of the grease. (Though the bacon was piled high and very crispy when not at the bottom.) But these are minor quibbles."
