"I gotta admit, I was nervous about staying at the Red Lion Inn. I knew it was popular, but I stayed in their "sister" place (the Little Lion) once because it was the only available hotel room in the area at short notice and that place is a DISASTER.
However, now I understand why people who love the Red Lion Inn LOVE the Red Lion Inn. It's not pristine & shiny in a new hotel kinda way. But it's also the exact opposite of a bland, chain hotel with no character or interest. 250y of history pours out of every inch of this place, and in a good way. I didn't get a chance to take advantage of the gym, pool, or other amenities, though did eat in the courtyard one lunchtime and that was good. The staff are very attentive and appear to take real pride in working in such an iconic hotel. My only criticism is that I don't think the cleaning is quite up to scratch. Harder to clean 250yo hotel with rugs over ancient wood floors than a new construction with LVP, but findings long blonde hairs on my hotel room wasn't something I enjoyed (my entire family is either red or brunette). Would I stay there again? Yes. Room prices in the summer are insane, like most places in the Berkshires, but that's when I have to go to the Berkshires, so if they don't get my business in the future, it'll be because there are no rooms available or for some reason a different town is a better choice of location, not because I don't want to stay here. 1 word of warning: have dog? Call to make your reservation."
