This is a great location, close to restaurants and with a grocery store across the street for anything you could have forgotten. We were concerned with it being at the furthest south in the Berkshires, but it was a great spot and short drive to the other towns. There are wide open spaces in some parts of town, along with cute downtown eccentric shops to give you lots of variety. The hotel has a small parking lot so you don’t have to worry about parking forever away and dragging your baggage up. Your vehicle is easy to access from pretty much any point. There’s a nice view from the front rooms. The rooms and pool are in the same building. You won’t have to freeze walking to a different building across a cold parking like the resort hotel pools. The suite with two queen beds is perfect for a family of five. There’s a separate bedroom for the two queen beds, which is perfect for parents and little kids while the teenager can have the pullout couch in the living room. The living room also has a credenza with a TV , coffee maker and mini fridge. Make sure you turn on the mini fridge as soon as you get there. There is a really big bathroom with a regular shower head and a separate handheld shower shower head. Make sure the handheld is pointed inside the bathtub. Ours was pointed directly into the bathroom and sprayed water everywhere. The handheld is very helpful for little kids that hate to get their hair washed or if you need to rinse out bathing suits. There were handle bars in our bathtub, which were helpful for hanging out bathing suits to dry. The breakfast is great for a bite before you hit the road. Our picky eaters all found something they liked. The bacon, scrambled eggs and croissant are a solid choice. There was cereals, oatmeal and muffins for my kids. The coffee and food was much better (and faster) than the local Dunkies but there are plenty of great full breakfast restaurant choices nearby. When we were searching for a hotel, we wanted a great family choice, but something just a little cleaner and nicer. This hotel was about $75 more than the other similar nice chains. We passed by all the other choices on our drive and feel that with the location and quality this was worth the money. We already plan to head back this fall and I can do a much more detailed review with photos then.
