Check-in was very welcoming. Room was ready and lovely. Spacious, clean, corner turret serving as desk and seating area was a bonus. Complementary breakfast was delicious and served restaurant style; a very pleasant start to the day. It was a very comfortable stay.

Very nice place. Quiet. The breakfasts are included and are upscale with excellent staff service. Unless you are young and don't care, make sure you get a ground floor room - the upstairs rooms require a walk up a large staircase, and are inconvenient. Would definitely return.

It was wonderful there! The moment we arrived we were enthusiastically greeted, offered brownies, help with luggage, shown room, and more. The room was really clean, the bed very comfortable, and furnishings up to date. Breakfast included food choices, inside or out on the patio, and quick service. The people who worked there were friendly and caring. We hope to return next time we’re in the area.

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.

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.
