“A Pleasant Surprise”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 February 2011
2
people found this review helpful

I had some doubts at first, after reading about it here. But we took a chance since the reviews sounded honest and positive.
And they were right on the money.
It was well worth it.
Clean, updated, quiet, and comfortable.
Everything in the room worked and the beds were clean and comfy.
OK. It's NOT the Hilton or even the Red Lion, but we checked out the rates at all the B&B's and they averaged $150 per night with NO amenities but a colonial post bed and a few antiques.
So for ALL the money we saved, we could buy our own antiques.
Yes. The breakfast was very very basic, but for around $55 per night, we didn't expect gourmet or a sit down hot 7 course meal.
The hotel does have a refrig and a microwave, so you can bring some of your own food to add to their bagels, cream cheese, and coffee.
The hotel owner/manager was friendly and helpful and the maid service was very good.
It is located about 15 minutes north of the Butternut ski resort and near to plenty of restaurants and attractions and very very easy to find.
So we have no complaints and we saved $100/night over those over-priced B&B's down the road, and used that money for dinners and skiing.

We arrived in a snow storm that lasted all week in The Berkshires,my wife had meetings all week from 7am-7pm. We asked the owners to give us a "quiet room & do not disturb "till our departure and clean towels when needed, due to our stays strange sleeping hours.All this and more were offered to us ALL the time !!! This motel is your Basic Style,very clean ,great heat (-20 outside) and Proud Owners who care about your stay (every day Jerry or Ann asked us "Is everything OK do you need anything? "We were there for over 7 days of terrible weather but staying here made things seem a bit better. We will be back , hopefully with better weather !!!

“Just right!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 November 2010

people found this review helpful

Let's keep in mind we paid $45/night including taxes since it's the off-season in Lee. We simply wanted a home base for a few days of hiking and sightseeing in Western Mass and Southern Vermont, and this place was great. Plenty of maps and brochures in the front office, including a very helpful pictorial map of Lee, Stockbridge, Lenox, etc. Very convenient to many great sights and shopping, as well as hiking spots. The owners, a middle-aged couple who appear to live in a house in the back, were very friendly and accommodating.

The room was worn and outdated, but incredibly clean and neat, with adequate space (we had the queen bed room on the second floor, end). It was furnished with a large dresser, two bedside tables, a table and two chairs, mini-fridge, microwave, cable tv, and a hanging rack. The room was freezing at entry (temps outside were in the 30s and the motel was pretty empty) but a wall heating unit worked quickly and well. Bathroom was also spotlessly clean, adequate linens, hand soap and typical hotel shampoo. Shower took a minute or two to heat up, but piping hot water was plentiful, no complaints. The bed was an average motel mattress, fairly comfortable for a couple of nights after hiking and it passed my bedbug inspection with flying colors. The only wildlife were a couple of friendly ladybugs who kept to themselves in the corner of the ceiling. The second floor is one short flight up carpeted stairs, and our room provided an amazing view from the sliding glass doors.

We never checked out the continental breakfast - we picked up a few breakfast items at a local grocery and stored them in the handy mini-fridge, and there were plenty of places for good, local food within a short drive.

I would definitely stay here again (and intend to) if I'm in the area and the price is right.

This is a cheap and cheerful place, no frills but provides what you need for a short stay in the area. Rooms clean and comfortable with easy access to all the beautiful places in the Berkshires. Lee and Stockbridge are close by, interesting places with good restaurants.

We found this hotel to be affordable, very clean and friendly staff. They did offer a free breakfast but we left early. Our beds were very comfortable. The location is very convenient to Stockbridge and surrounding towns. We would stay there again and recommend to our friends.
