We loved The Red Lion Inn and all its quaintness and the jazz on Sunday night was the best ever as was our suite accommo
Pros:

We loved the historic inn and were absolutely thrilled to receive an upgrade to a suite in the house on the corner of Elm and Maple Street. Stockbridge was the last two night stay on our trip around New England and this was such a treat to receive, we absolutely loved our suite and especially the wooden deck and stairs down to the leaf filled yard below.

Cons:

Absolutely nothing at all.

Would not ever stay again.
Pros:

The old elevator

Cons:

The room on 4th floor was extremely noisy from traffic and guests on same floor. The food and servers at the restaurant were ho-hum. Absolutely nothing to write home about. Front desk did have exceptionally good help.

Disappointing as we were looking forward to a cozy stay with dinner at this historic hotel
Pros:

Lovely old building with interesting period furniture and pictures. Potential for a nice cozy atmosphere but spoilt in some ways (see negative comments below).

Cons:

Seven steps leading up to front porch from street level and no one to help carry suitcases (we are in our seventies). Tried to reserve a table for dinner in the morning (via text) but received no response - when we arrived we were offered a 8 pm slot which was too late having been on the road all day. Returned to hotel around 8pm after dinner elsewhere and went to bar to get a drink and stood there for five minutes being ignored while the bar tender continued a conversation with customers sitting at the bar. Room was quaint but very crowded with furniture leaving insufficient room to organise our suitcases. Went to reception at 8am to checkout to find a queue of people and no one on reception, just a note saying “helping other staff” so we have to conclude that the hotel is understaffed. At $360 per night with no breakfast we considered it overpriced.

We had a wonderful stay and we will certainly be back!
Pros:

Historic old-world feel, comfortable bed, spacious room, outdoor pool and hot tub. Jazz at the historic Lion’s Den. Good is very, very good.

Cons:

Hot tub was shut down on our last evening. Hot water was not available in our room also - maintenance request not responded to. Lots of noisy renovations during the day

We enjoyed our stay and can't wait to come back. We hope that the more worn areas are spruced up.
Pros:

Our room in the O'Brien house was very cozy and welcoming after our long journey. The shower was fabulous. The closet was amply spacious for both of us.
My filet mignon and our breakfasts were excellent.
The pool area, and hot tub were great.

Cons:

The room lamps were a little wiggly, too bright, and should have been adjustable.
My wife's Caesar salad was bland. The dressing was very watered down. There were no croutons, or lemon, and the parmesan cheese was sparse.
The entryway up the front steps and the door into the lobby are surprisingly run down. The lobby carpeting is frayed and duct-taped down.

Not an ADA hotel, very disappointed
Pros:

The old style was very cool. Unique for sure. Cute town and shops are close. The restaurant and bar inside looked very nice. Didn’t get to go to either tho.

Cons:

The buildings, all of them, are NOT ADA compliant. Parking for handicapped is awful. There’s only 1 handicapped parking in front of hotel. There’s 1 in the back of the building, but unless you can walk, it’s not easy to maneuver around. It’s a rocky gravel. To go into the offsite buildings you have to go up steps. Both me and my partner are disabled. We were put in a building abt 2 blocks away from Main hotel. I’m not supposed to go up stairs, but that was the only way in. They did not have an ada room as I requested 5 months before my trip. No Ada bathroom. We had to leave because they can’t accommodate ADA guests. They only refunded one night out of our two. Not fair when they couldn’t accommodate any ada needs. If you are handicapped you will need to climb into bed. It’s very high. They are old fashioned beds. We couldn’t even get into the beds because they’re too high. The hotel itself is very unique and interesting. If you’re healthy, you’ll be fine, but if you have any issues or you’re elderly, this is not the right place for you. The staff was friendly and did send a young man to help us unload our car and after having to checkout he came back to help us again. He told us he was off the clock though. He shouldn’t have done that off the clock.

While short, we enjoyed a drink on the front porch, the gift shops, the back porch area
Pros:

The staff including the supervisor on duty and desk person were both very friendly and helpful.
Had breakfast in the main dining room and it was great tasting.

Would have preferred staying in the Inn proper instead of one of the out buildings.
Pros:

The staff and the dining options, as well as the overall ambiance.

Cons:

The room had some drawbacks for us older folk. The bed was very high. The toilet was very low. The tub and shower were hard to get in and out of and the shower curtain did not reach all the way around the tub so the floor ended up getting pretty wet.
