Disappointing and way overpriced, nearly...

Liked: There was no breakfast, not even coffee. In my past stays there, there was always a lovely breakfast.
Disliked: Breakfast would’ve been nice, at least coffee. Guests are welcome at the Red Lion Inn for coffee and tea, that’s a 3 1/2 mile ride and there’s never any parking in downtown Stockbridge. Long way to go for a cup of coffee. The television in my room was broken for my entire stay despite multiple phone calls. There is no staff on site, your room is not cleaned for the duration of your stay. No one to bring you a towel if you find you need one. There’s nobody to respond when there’s a problem. You get your room code in a text, and the door will not open even one minute before the 3 PM check in time The rooms are plain beige with white bedding, in the past they were brightly colored and funky and fun., That was one of the selling points was how cool it was there. There is a huge fire pit, there were comfy free seats, and people would gather there in the past But of course, with no staff on site, there’s no one to turn it on, very disappointing, as it was always an enjoyable part of my stay, and I wanted to sit out there to look at meteors during my stay, but all it is this a giant empty fire pit with some rickety hard benches, no reason to sit there at all. Since I’ve arrived home, I’ve reached out twice to voice my concerns, as I used to stay there over and over and can’t even believe what I found this time, and have had absolutely no response. What a shame. I understand the Red Lion Inn (this motel is the redheaded stepchild) has changed hands, so far, not an improvement over the prior owner.

Not outstanding but o.k. Bed...

Liked: Close to everything we planned to visit.
Disliked: The carpet inside the door kept folding up and made it a safety issue! Loud air conditioner going on and off made it difficult to sleep. The way the shower is constructed made it impossible not to get water on the floor.

Would not stay here again

Liked: The location was nice. I appreciated the picnic tables outside.
Disliked: The carpet was gross. It felt sticky to the point that I had the whole family keep their shoes on; there was also a huge stain. We found a huge spider crawling by the mini fridge, and the fire pit outside was full of cigarette butts and rusty nails. The sheets were not on the bed properly which makes me feel like they were not changed from the last person who stayed there.

Superb

Liked: I liked that the appliances and the furnishing had a retro look in keeping with my childhood. I would stay there again in a flash. The facility was wonderful and peaceful.
Disliked: I accidentally burnt a hole in the carpeting with an overcooked bagel. I paid for the damage, but they were forced to take the room out of circulation. I hope they know that it was unintentional, and I am not by nature accident-prone at all.
