Liked it was very quiet Did not like all the flights of steps to get to room and up more steep steps to bathroom and bed room from living area. Did not like teeny tiny bathroom with mirror hung very low at chest height rather than head height.

This has got to be the MOST overpriced property in Lenox. We paid close to $900/night for a tiny room, like a motel room. Right on a main road with heavy traffic and had to keep our blinds closed. Bathroom was so small that there was no space for towels. No bottled water in the room.When we asked if we could swap the complimentary red wine in the room for a bottle of sparkling wine, the desk clerk said "nice try". And this for over $800/night :( Expedia -- very disappointed with your recommendation.

Nice property and people, they shouldn't, however, list that they have a bar and restaurant. The restaurant is breakfast only and the bar is limited options and not a true bar. Nice breakfast and venue though.

Great place to stay

We were there only one night, but easily could have stayed a week. The inn is comfortable, close to downtown. The room and bed were great. Everything clean and tasteful. The staff members are incredibly friendly and service-oriented. Great patio with evening drink of sangria. Wonderful location.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The property is charming, but my room definitely was not. I felt like I was in a motor lodge because it was a small confiding space with sounds of the road and people walking by all of the time. I definitely was not the charm I was looking for when I picked this property. It looked like it had been a quick and dirty rehab, and the LED lights were pretty awful.
