Surprised that they did that
Pros:

We booked a room in the Red Lion Inn. They did not give us a room there, but located us in one of their old houses not attached to the Inn itself. That was very disappointing.

Cons:

It was not located where the other guests were staying in the Inn itself. They did not disclose this fact to us when we booked the room.

Trumps Ballroom “ Joke” fail
Pros:

I want to explain that I loved our visit and come here once a year.
BUT despite my love, they thought it would be funny to put up a banner saying “ Their ballroom is an under a construction” around April fools day.
This was to make fun of Trumps ballroom -that was all.
The replies were so ugly in their hatred for trump.

As a Republican who has good friends on both sides, I felt devastated.
The times I have spent there from the time I would go as a little girl with my parents from nearby Pittsfield, were so special.
As I got older and moved away, the day we brought our own little boy to visit was a memory I’ll never forget.
Most recently my last relative, my brother passed . That following summer we came to the Berkshires to clean out my family home - my husband took me here to lunch to honor him and I was in tears at the memories and the beauty of this place.

To feel ridiculed about my love for our country at this time makes me sick.
I know it’s a very liberal area.
But the hatred that crawled out of the wood work is eye opening.
I know someone thought it was so funny and clever, but it’s cruel.
I’m hoping that they will not stoop to such a nasty level as your customers come from all over with different backgrounds and views and this was just beyond hurtful

My wife and I really enjoyed our first trip to the area. Red Lion Inn was a great pick for us.
Pros:

Breakfast in the mornings were very good. Staff also very friendly and engaging. The Lion's Den was fun in the evening.

Cons:

Room key. Walked away from the room a few times before remembering I needed to actually use a key to lock the door. Part of the charm of this place too.

Needs an update to stay relevant and better trained staff
Pros:

Hotel needs an upgrade and they have not enough staff to handle the quests - not able to recommend this hotel in its current state.

A lovely stay om a charming place filled with so much atmosphere.
Pros:

I love the Red Lion Inn, one of my favorite places on this earth, and I do travel quite a bit. I love the ambience, the formal dining room's atmosphere, the old building that is a story of character. I have eaten in the dining room more times than I could ever count, and I just love sitting in the foyer and in the summer on the porch with its rocking chairs. I will keep coming back as I have for many years now. I don't stay overnight at the Inn very often, since I only live 1.5 hours away in CT, but every time I have stayed here, I fall in love with it again and again.

Had better expectations.
Pros:

We came to dine at the Red Lion. The food was mediocre. I ordered an Entree Chicken Pot Pie and it was basically a cup of soup with a biscuit on top. Not impressed.
There was paint peeling on the ceiling. Please renovate and uplift the customer experience.

Beautiful place. All good except the bug and the noise but that was taken care of.
Cons:

There was a bug in our bed in 301 and the road noise was very loud. Spoke to a very nice woman at the desk the next morning and we moved to another beautiful room - 103.

Pros:

Location was good

Cons:

Musty smell of room. Total lack of investment in the property. Too expensive for the dissappointing room we got ( lamps not working, tiny bathroom with nowhere to place toiletries, linoleum flooring...seriously??? at over $300 / night??). We thought we were staying at the Inn...not a old home across the property.

Disappointing . Will not return.
Pros:

The food was not overpriced

Cons:

The hotel was in need of updating and suffered from lack of upkeep. The security was poor with unlocked doors on corridors leading to the outside .
