The historic Burge Hotel, the original structure dating from 1887, stands at the North end of the Holyoke main street. When first built the hotel was positioned close to the train depot so that travelers could easily walk to their lodgings. It is now a landmark for visitors entering or exiting Holyoke via Highway 385. This imposing hotel was expanded in 1912 and again in 1949. The first floor features three rooms and one two-bedroom suite. There is also a large area once used as a coffee shop. The beautifully maintained lobby features a functioning wood-burning fireplace dedicated to the 'Knights of the Grip' in 1929. There are also living quarters for the owner boasting 2310 square foot of space. The second floor has a total of 20 rooms. Four rooms in the 40's addition feature double beds and private bathrooms. In the oldest section there are five "sleeper" rooms with use of the communal bath and shower. The second story also contains two one bedroom suites available for monthly rates and one additional suite under renovation. Care has been taken to keep all original trim work and signage intact. The basement features two suites, each with their own outside access. There is also considerable storage space in addition to the boiler room, laundry room, and old drying room which was used in the past to hang sheets and towels to dry year round. The 17,000 square foot lot includes a large side yard with well-manicured trees which is surprisingly private. There is a metal building, constructed in 1977, providing a two car garage and workshop. The charming front porch faces Main Street and is used by locals and visitors alike year round. Originally christened the Sawyer House, the stucco was added and the hotel expanded around 1912 and it then went by the name Sears Hotel. When new owners took over in 1926 the name was changed to Burge Hotel. The Spanish mission style architecture is unique to the area. With plenty of space and original details the building has potential to continue being a rooming house, or there is plenty of room for the installation of a state of the art kitchen to take advantage of the rise in popularity of bed and breakfasts.
