UMass Amherst parents weekend stay, wound up a little further away than we wanted to be due to closer hotels being booked up -- half hour drive. But the tradeoff was we found Courtyard West Springfield to be a wonderful facility that is much more up to the Marriott standard one would expect than most other regional properties we have stayed at. Very well maintained, clean, lots of space top spread out in common areas, great gym and pool. Bar that is actually opened although it could use a bigger staff than one to handle drinks and food requests etc. And the fire pit outside is massive and inviting and nice deck area as well. Staff was friendly and attentive.
