NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The License Commission on Tuesday approved Hotel Downstreet for an all-alcohol license.
 
Innkeeper Tyler Carroll, representing NA Hotel LLC, said the hotel would sell bottles and cans for consumption within the hotel. 
 
"What we're going be doing is retail down below, which will be sold as a whole bottle of wine or premixed cocktail, the idea would be to serve those type of items," he said. "And then the only time we would be pouring a glass would be in the banquet space, which would be controlled by a staff member."
 
Although the license would cover hard alcohol, Carroll said the hotel would not be selling that at this time. The goal for now is wine and canned drinks such as the popular hard seltzers.
 
"We wouldn't be sending a bottle of Jack Daniels upstairs for sale," he said.
 
The license is specific to the hotel and does not include the restaurant, which is operated by a separate entity.
 
The commission also approved a one-day license to serve beer and wine for an event in the hotel's Studios B and C. The event, which will feature Jarvis Rockwell, runs from 5 to 7 on Thursday.
 
Another application for a one-day license by 413 Bistro, the restaurant located in the hotel, was continued as no one was there to speak the request.

North Adams Man Guilty of Murder

PITTSFIELD, Mass. — A North Adams man was convicted Friday of murdering his wife, Charli Gould Cook, in 2019. 
 
A Berkshire Superior Court jury found Michael Cook Sr., 47, guilty of murder in the second degree, assault and armed assault with intent to murder, and assault and battery by means of a dangerous weapon causing serious bodily injury and assault and battery on a family or household member.
 
Cook had broken into the Chase Avenue home of his estranged wife on July 11, 2019. The 41-year-old woman was in her bed when Cook hit on the back side of her head with a hammer. The assault resulted in significant injury to her skull causing traumatic brain injury. Emergency personnel found her unresponsive when called to the home approximately 1 a.m. that morning.
 
She passed away approximately five months after the assault at Baystate Medical Center. The medical examiner ruled her cause of death as a direct result of the brain injury from the July 11th assault. Cook was arrested on assault charges and indicted in 2020 of murder. He had been detained without the right to bail since that time after being determined a danger to the community.  
 
Charli Cook was a native of North Adams who attended McCann Technical School and had worked as a certified nursing assistant.
 
Sentencing will take place on Thursday, Oct. 10, at Berkshire Superior Court.
