Barely adequate

Reserved two weeks ahead, busy season, so not much else to choose from in this area under $200. Room was clean, adequate: bed comfortable, bathroom clean. AC worked well and extremely noisy. Turned it off to sleep. Bedside lamp had no switch, had to bring it to office to get replaced. Toilet occasionally kept running. No hot water tea/coffee amenities. Pondside units in front of depressing, dilapidated pond (or pool?).

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.?

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.

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
