We came fully expecting to swim! The website showed us a clean swimming pool. The pool was overgrown with weeds and a small tree! It was full of frogs who croaked loudly all night long, keeping me awake. The pool was also full of rusty little tables and overturned chairs, etc., a real mess. There was practically a hole in the bathroom floor, which I sank into. It was scary. I hope for a partial refund, given the advertisement for a pool and the fact that the pool was uninhabitable.

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

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.

- The room had a very unpleasant smell. It was strong, and persisted throughout my stay. - The door was very difficult to open and to securely close. Though it was adjusted at my request, it was clearly not fixed. - The bathroom sink drained very poorly - The bathroom light over the sink did not work properly - The counter in the bedroom was broken on one side - The air conditioner filter was filthy (looking for source of smell) - The bedding was stained - The electric outlet was not flush with the wall - No refrigerator in room or ice machine anywhere - Two towels and two washcloths provided

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.

Had booked a brookside room but when checked in I was put in a beautiful barnside room with fireplace, big bathroom etc come to find out that all the brookside rooms were closed due to code violations! our room was beautiful (barn side) but we had no control of the heat which was only thru a wall fireplace and space heater - dangerous! Outlets had extension cords and lights near a canopy bed that screamed fire hazard, water was iffy and pressure came on and off. Toilet didn’t always flush. Jacuzzi tub didn’t work. No one in office for entire stay other than check in so we had 2 towels and 1 roll of toilet paper for 2 nights /3 days! I have stayed here before and found the property cute and charming and dog friendly but I will be looking for a new place to stay when visiting the area going forward.

Clean historic Inn

Historic Inn that is clean. If you are looking for something modern this is not for you. If you love a historic inn with all the old charm and character then this is your place. Staff was friendly and the bed comfortable. WiFi password provided upon picking up the room key. Internet worked well. Room was spacious for a family of 4.

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
