“Fantastic new years getaway.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Booked jacuzzi suite for new years eve. Front desk was friendly and got us checked in within 3 minutes or so. Room was clean, although it seemed a bit dated. Tv was old, on off button was broken but the remote control worked. Bathroom very small but clean and functional.
Jacuzzi took a while to fill with hot water but well worth the wait. Bed was comfortable. Overall the room was bigger than I would have expected and I felt it was a very good value for the price. Quick and friendly checkout.
After getting home I realized I left an expensive item in the room and called the motel, and they were nice enough to mail it to me.

“A good place”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 November 2011
2
people found this review helpful

This is a straight forward, plain jane motel. It's in good shape, seems to have been done over from some of the older reviews, but it's not the Taj Mahal, but then again, you're not paying for the T.M. Room was nice and large, clean and bed very comfortable and not a bedbug in sight. Wireless worked well in our room as did the micro wave and small fridge. The breakfast was typical and adaquate. Front desk people were nice and friendly. Only problem, on night we arrived, the sink wouldn't drain so rather than wait for next day maintenance or pack up all our stuff and move, we borrowed a plunger and freed up the problem on our own. Location is very good, about halfway between Stockbridge attractions and Mt. Greylock area.

“Just Fine”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 October 2011

This is pretty much exactly what you'd expect for the name & the price. It was clean, the heat & AC worked fine & the bed was pretty comfortable. The Wifi signal in my room wasn't so great is pretty much the only negative I have. And the folks at the front desk made it feel like a pleasantly old-fashioned family-run kind of place. Oh, and housekeeping actually respected my Do Not Disturb sign, which was nice. I'd be fine with staying here again if I were in the area, though it didn't blow me away or anything so if I got a better rate on one of the nearby, similar chains I'd just go with that.

“reasonable option for those on a budget”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 September 2011
2
people found this review helpful

this is a rather typical motel but it is a good option for those on a budget. the lenox area can be very expensive and the motel offered a very reasonable rate with some nice extras including a fridge and microwave in the room and continental breakfast. the management was very nice. the wheelchair accessible room does not have a roll in shower but they did have a tub seat which made the bathroom very functional. Although this place has been recently refurbished it felt a little warn and if you really looked behind the doors, etc it could use a little more cleaning. Overall though it was a good deal for the price. It also does not sit in the historic town but this is only a short drive.
