My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms were clean and comfortable, with a backyard pool available for a quick swim. However, one of the bathrooms had a piece of clothing left behind by a previous guest. The air conditioning needed to be set very low to combat the mugginess, and there were cleanliness issues like excessive dust and spiderwebs in corners. Despite these drawbacks, the location was convenient for exploring the area and enjoying hiking trails, shopping, and dining options.

The hotel is conveniently located on the main road to Pittsfield and only about 10 minutes from Tanglewood, making it perfect for exploring the Berkshires. The rooms were basic with essential amenities but had issues like a broken coffee maker and musty odor. The service was decent, though there were some inconsistencies with the manager. The location offers easy access to hiking trails, shopping, and restaurants, but the presence of smoke odor and environmental violations is a concern.

The hotel's location is perfect for exploring the Berkshires, with convenient access to various attractions. The rooms, although lacking a 'Non-Smoking' sign, offer a strong Wi-Fi signal. However, the room decor is dated and basic, reflecting a lower price point compared to other options in Lenox.
Rooms

My room, although lacking a 'Non-Smoking' sign, provided a strong Wi-Fi signal. The decor was quite dated, almost reminiscent of a $49 room, which stood out especially with the total cost of $223 for the stay including tax.

The dining room provided a spartan Continental Breakfast with limited options like donuts, cereal, and cold boiled eggs. While basic, it surpassed my expectations for a typical continental breakfast found in similar establishments.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were clean and had a backyard pool for a quick swim, but they felt dated with no art and resembled a $49 room, which made me question the value for the total cost of $223. The service, on the other hand, was very accommodating and friendly, with an upgrade to a garden view room and access to the onsite restaurant. The location was convenient for exploring the Berkshires, though leaving the hotel required caution due to traffic. The dining options were basic, but the breakfast had some decent offerings. The facilities were adequate for my needs.

The hotel's location right on the highway outside Lenox is convenient for accessing nearby sights but can be noisy. The rooms had a musty and smoky smell despite being designated as non-smoking, and cleanliness was an issue. The service was accommodating and professional. The dining experience was basic but offered a variety of options. The facilities could benefit from renovation.

My stay at the hotel was mixed. Despite the mirrored wall and treadmills in the room, the cold night without extra blankets and the musty, smoky smell made it less than ideal. The service was friendly but having to unlock the door every time was a hassle. The location was convenient for the attractions in the Berkshires, but I had to be cautious due to potential credit card fraud. The dining experience was okay, with a simple continental breakfast. The facilities were satisfactory, but the industrial air freshener in the lobby was overwhelming.

The hotel offers fairly large and clean rooms with necessary amenities like a fridge, coffee maker, TV, and working heater, though starting the day at the bare desk lacks a welcoming atmosphere. The service, while friendly and accommodating, promised but didn't deliver on fixing the AC. The location is convenient outside Historic Lenox off the highway and near a unique Malayasian restaurant, but watch out for traffic. The dining experience may feel Spartan, but the continental breakfast includes hard boiled eggs and quality Belgian waffles. Overall, a mixed stay with some highlights and room for improvement.
