Pros:

The location was good (pretty lake, right on the highway, close to Lenox and Lee). The Indian restaurant in the hotel was amazing. The staff were all very nice. The free coffee machine and large tea selection were a nice touch!

The bed and pillows were both much more comfortable than the typical hotel.

Cons:

I liked the place, so these are kind of knit picks:

The breakfast was basic (hard boiled eggs, microwave sandwiches, pancakes from a machine, etc). Would be nice to have a nutritious option other than hard boiled eggs.

The fitness center was very minimal (no cable machine, no dumbbells between 25 and 50 lb, no barbell or squat rack).

Both were fine for the price though :)

Cute hotel.
Pros:

Great hotel for passing thru the area. I sat on the chairs outside and watched the lake shimmer. Beautiful. My room was great. I was fully aware how and why I booked. My goal was to go to the Norman Rockwell Museum which was very close. The Mint restaurant inside was very good.

Cons:

The young man at check in desk said I had booked with a third party so I had the cheapest room about 5 times. I wasn’t sure if it was a warning or my deal was too good. The room was fine. I had asked if it faced the lake. It didn’t which was fine cuz I sat on the lake. The included breakfast was slim. They did have free fruit.

Pros:

Charming location on the lake and a really good Indian restaurant on site, which was such a pleasant surprise.

Cons:

Personally, I found the beds a bit hard and thought the breakfast was mediocre. But those aren’t real issues and I enjoyed my stay.

Comfortable lake-view hotel in the Berkshires!
Pros:

Beautiful views, excellent breakfast, comfortable room, helpful staff, and incredible on-site restaurant!

Cons:

Some of the facility (hallways, stairs especially) could use some love/ renovations. But fine for a family hotel!
