Near hiking for Mt. Greylock and the Appalachian Trail. Nice walking area close by at Lamb's Hill. Clean
Older mattress, was OK, but could feel springs a little.
If you like a tub, it is tiny. The shower is OK

I checked in after hours. Key with instructions left at the front, easy to find. Room was clean and cold from the AC (thank you!).! Room smelled a bit like a motel, but nothing crazy. Bed was firm, but I slept ok.!!

We arrived after 7 pm and it turned out had reserved the room for Wednesday night instead of Monday night. A person associated with the restaurant which was closed on Monday, helped us. He called in to the staff and checked us into a room. Everything went so smoothly and it could have been last minute looking for a different motel.

Lovely inn and great restaurant!
The room was pleasant and the grounds were nice. Nothing in disrepair. The ‘6 Restaurant was wonderful-our waitress was fabulous, decor was lovely and the prices were quite reasonable. A definite “thumbs up” and sure to return.

It’s unique historical property. The front desk allowed us to check in three hours early due to it’s a snowy day. We had a lovely thanksgiving dinner in the restaurant belongs to the hotel.

Everything was clean and worked well. After a not-so-good visit last year this was a total reversal in all areas of quality. We also ate at the restaurant which was very good.

This motel was a classic old time roadside New England accommodation in the Berkshires. It is actually in three different locations spread out over a quarter of a mile on both sides of the road and I suspect one's experience will vary dramatically based on which location and room you actually end up in. Overall the place seems to have overwhelmed the owners in terms of maintenance services. It definitely does not match the confusing and somewhat misleading descriptions on their website or the booking sites. It is very basic with few amenities and unevenly maintained. The TV in our room had obviously not been hooked up to work in a long time. The owners/ staff are impossible to contact and subsequent looking at the reviews of this property show that that is an ongoing problem. I drove down to the other location where the office was located and although the owners were in their apartment, they would not come to the door (apparently everything is done by notes and there is a weathered permanent piece of paper on the door saying they will "be back shortly"). The place has some potential in a beautiful location and was inexpensive but I wonder how long Covid will be an excuse for lack of maintenance, etc.?

Good location , near williamstown but very overpriced for what you get. Bed was comfortable.
but…
My room was missing lightbulbs in several of the lamps.
My room had outlets that didn’t work
Several rooms had no water so they had emergency maintenance going on for long hours making a lot of noise
Was severely overpriced due to fall foliage
