BEFORE YOU BOOK

We're thrilled that you're planning a trip to TOURISTS. Here are some things to keep in mind as you get ready to book. This is a living document and will be updated as the situation changes.

To ensure the highest standard of safety for our guests, employees, and community, and to comply with regulations from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, we have instituted these specific protocols:

• All indoor common spaces, including the Lodge and The Airport Rooms, are closed to guests. We welcome you to enjoy our abundant outdoor spaces. Open-air common areas have been arranged to ensure a minimum of 6-foot spacing between tables and seating areas. Additionally, each guest room has its own outdoor deck. 

• All areas of the hotel are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized using EPA and CDC-approved disinfectants and cleaning methods. High-touch surfaces throughout the hotel are fastidiously sanitized.

• The ventilation in our guest rooms is key. Our state-of-the-art HVAC system replaces the air in your room every hour - straight from the outdoors. There is no shared duct work linking your room to anyone else’s.

• We are required to keep records for contact tracing so, at this time, only registered overnight guests are allowed on the hotel property.

• For more details on specific rules and protocols related to COVID-19 that you will experience during your stay, please read the PREP FOR ARRIVAL section of this site.

In May 2021, TOURISTS will be open Thursday-Sunday nights. Starting in June, we will expand our operations to include Wednesday nights. 

From June 23rd through September 13, 2021, we are open every day for summer stays.

A three-night stay is required for all summer and holiday weekends. A two-night minimum is in place at all other times.

For reservations or inquiries, call/text 413.347.4995 or CLICK HERE to book online.

At this time, we have adjusted our cancellation policy to offer you more flexibility. Your reservation may be cancelled up to 72-hours before check-in. Any reservations cancelled within 72-hours of arrival  will be charged for the first night's room and tax. 

We're offering full breakfast, lunch and dinner menus, which can be enjoyed on our deck, weather permitting, or in the comfort of your room. We also offer an in-room prix-fixe supper on Friday and Saturday nights by advance reservation. You will receive an email prior to your arrival with a menu and reservation information. You can also email us to learn more - stay@touristswelcome.com. 

Coffee & espresso drinks and a full selection of cocktails, wine, and beer can  be ordered via text or at the lodge window. Please patronize local restaurants, but remember that reservations are required at most, hours may be different, etc. Definitely call ahead.

Our saltwater pool is open seasonally between Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends by reservation. You will receive an email before your stay with a link to reserve your time at the pool. 

Each reservation lasts for 2 hours and includes: 1-4 pool loungers, an umbrella, a side table for eats and drinks, and the friendly service of our TOURISTS staff for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. 

Guests can make one pool reservation for every night they stay at TOURISTS. Pool reservations run from 9:30am-9:30pm Wednesdays-Mondays and 12pm-9:30pm on Tuesdays. Walk-ins will be accommodated based on pool occupancy, but not guaranteed, so please make sure to reserve in advance.

Area restaurants, museums, retail shops, state parks, and attractions are operating in compliance with state requirements and may have limited capacities, hours, and offerings. Please make your plans accordingly.
Feel free to contact the Front Desk - stay@touristswelcome.com - with questions.
