I loved that the RLI is an historical property full of antiques. The big front porch out front was a special feature, and it was great to just sit in a rocking chair with a cup of coffee in the morning and watch the world go by. I didn't realize there were other buildings that the RLI has, so next time I'm hoping to stay in the main building.

Overpriced property with poor customer service. I spent 3 nights at the RLI. My daughter is attending an area boarding school and was I looking for my go-to place for when I come to visit her. RLI will not be it. Firstly, my $1400+ rate did not include breakfast. Additionally, the simple request for hot water so that I could have my morning or evening tea, either went unanswered (front desk phone would ring and ring and ring) or would not be sent after speaking with someone. I did manage to get hot water when I went downstairs to retrieve it or on Sunday morning when someone brought it pretty quickly. Additionally, the internet is not secure for guests. When I asked why there was a staff secure access and not one for guests, I was told that that would be an upgrade in the future. If you plan on doing work while there, think again. I did not eat at the restaurant, so I cannot comment on the food. Also, plan on getting up really early as the cleaning crew comes around for housekeeping around 9:30. Overall, I would not revisit. You can get much better value at a Bed & Breakfast (and actually get breakfast) or at a chain hotel.

I love this Inn and stop there whenever I pass through. The rooms are all a bit different ans very vintage. Nice sheets and towels and Nespresso maker in the room. If you arrive late in the day almost all of the local shops are closed which I find to be a negative. There is a mini fridge in the room, however mine was set to a level which froze all my food. there is a window about 3’ x 2’ in the shower, which looks out on the parking area. There is no curtain shade or anything else covering it.! it looks like at one point it was painted over but it’s all come off. Overall, I definitely recommend this Inn, but there are some things that aren’t perfect.

Typical issues with old properties: failing latches, old windows, broken or missing pavers. Excessive wait times. Mediocre food service at excessive prices. Pet-friendly accommodations are good and convenient. Location makes up for almost all failings.

There's a big difference between "charm" and "neglect," especially in a room that costs $500 per night. Is $500 a night appropriate for a bathroom with a old, peeling vinyl floor? Is it a good price for a room with a door so mis-shapen that there's a 1-inch gap between the top of the door and the doorframe, so you can peer into the room when the door is shut? Is $500 a night deserved for a room with a bedspread so old, it's been worn straight through in places (holes). You can decide for yourself. Just know what to expect.

The hotel was very nice, well kept, and clean on the inside and had its characteristic charm. The pool area was gorgeous and very relaxing. We loved the charm and the way the property sprawled around the cute town square. Our room was very spacious, clean and the bed was super soft and comfy. However, we felt that some of the outside details were lacking (unmowed lawns, chipping paint). We also had very slow (had to ask to order after more than 30 minutes at the worst) service in two of the restaurants.

Old Inn

This is an historic building so understandably old but it needs a serious update. Carpet in room is stained and threadbare. Bathroom is a bit rustic with loud bathroom fan and open area for sink. Food is ok but service spotty but friendly. Porch vibe is great but not enough to come back again.

We loved the sunny Stevens room

We love the Red Lion. And had two excellent meals around our trips to Tanglewood concerts. We stayed at the Stevens house room 184. Sunny, sweet, fridge downstairs was helpful to store picnic items/wine. But the bed is soft and the bathtub was plastic insert which was unexpected for the cost per night, but more so the smell of mildew.
