Extremely Adequate Accomodations
This was not a bad place to stay but offers nothing special other than a convenient location and a clean room all run by friendly people. There was certainly nothing luxurious about the place but I would recommend it if you were looking for a place that was priced well and you got what you paid for. Only thing that did not impress us was the town itself - very quaint, old style, small specialty & gift shops, museums etc. but in old town style - walking was required. Also, it definitely was not a "peak, seasonal season because the sidewalks rolled up after 6 -hard to find suitable eating establishments open late.

Short drive from hotel
Short drive to town and sights but mostly all daytime activities. You want any kind of a nightlife entertainment, be prepared to travel out of Lenox.

poor experience
The rooms were dirty and had a bad odor. The breakfast has horrible and we actually got yelled at by the manager for not knowing how to use the waffle maker. The manager was very rude at all times and he shouldn't be in customer service!! Poor overall experience!

Hurricane Irene at HoJo's
The small staff at the hotel/motel were lovely. Continental breakfast was adequate, but there was not enough seating for a crowd. The room was a bit cramped and needs updating. The beds were very comfortable, but the air conditioning was a bit dicey. It was certainly adequate for a short stay and was very close to downtown Lenox and Tanglewood. Route 7/20 is a good access road to Berkshire towns. Try Panda, a nice Chinese restaurant just south of the hotel. The place stayed erect during Hurricane Irene, and that's a plus! D & B from NYC

Satisfactory stay
We were here for two nights. It was centrally located for what we did. We visited Norman Rockwell Museum, and visited other little towns around. The pool was very convenient for our daily exercise program. It was a little difficult getting two large suitcases up a flight stairs. The breakfast was very minimal. No fruit, no eggs.

slightly less than par
The main room was clean and comfortable but the bath shower curtain has mold and the towels were thread bare or had holes in them.

Haunted HoJos beats EconoHut
Affordable, clean, and conveniently situated on the main thoroughfare. Whoosh go the trucks. Easy drive to Old Town Lenox, Stockbridge, Tanglewood, and Edith Wharton's house. Near Chocolate Springs (heavenly). A twenty minute drive to Great Barrington (but oh, so worth it). Skip the free breakfast-it's sparse and gloomy. If you must dine in, remember coffee's up at 7 am, not 6:45. Check in is at 2 pm, not 1 pm, as advertised by travel site. Far more spacious, and seemingly cleaner, than EconoHut.

HoJo's in Lenox
Lovely area of the country, hotel was clean and staff was very friendly and accommodating. Very convenient to our family wedding we had to attend. Lots of little shops and places to go during down time. Great value.

Short walk from hotel
Halpins bar was the happening spot in the neighborhood. Every other place closed down by 10pm. Great live band, and atmosphere.
