Hampton Terrace Inn — Hotel in Lenox

This is my first experience at a bed-and-breakfast. I understand that there is historic value, and that is what people are attracted to. I have discovered that I am not a bed-and-breakfast lover. As far as the hotel is concerned, the shower in the bathroom is very slippery, the pillows were the worst part of my stay! They were hard as a rock and flat as a pancake, I literally had trouble sleeping. There was breakfast, which was good. The town is lovely. All of the restaurants were good except for Firefly I would not recommend that. The service was bad, I sat at the bar for 20 minutes and finally asked the bar back for a drink, and the food was mediocre and under seasoned! Like I said, I am not a bed-and-breakfast lover, so take that into consideration. I did not like eating breakfast with everyone, as I would really rather not listen to people talk right in the morning! I understand also, that people want a sense of community at these type of establishments., But I guess that’s not for me! The cleaning staff does not replenish, coffee or creamers, and when I told the owner that the coffee was not replenished, he said he does not have time for that? I would think for $375.00 a night some coffee in your room isn’t a big deal. Just make sure you memorize the note on your bed, and if you have a question, you will be reminded that the answer is in the letter on your bed. I did not get a sense of warmth from the owner. Make sure to go to Great Barrington it’s a great town for shopping! Oh well good luck, just remember to bring...

When one thinks of staying in an “Olde Inn with Lots of Character,” this place should come to mind. ||There are several choices of places to stay in Lenox, and if you’re looking for an authentic experience, this is your place. But know what comes with that choice. Grand old cottages in the Berkshires built in the late 19th century didn’t have central air conditioning, convenient usb charging stations at your bedside, large screen TV’s, and consistency across rooms and bathrooms. Here, every room is different where window unit AC’s can barely keep up on hot muggy days, it takes a few minutes to search out a plug to charge your devices, and if you’re not a smaller person like it seems most were more than 100 years ago, you might find yourself squeezing in sideways in the small claw foot tub trying to take a shower without flooding the cracked hardwood floor and then the dining room below. And how did my rollaboard get all the way over there? Because the floor in my room is slanted! But that’s all part of the charm, right?||Perhaps the best part of the Hampton Terrace Inn is the owner, Stan himself. Affable and knowledgeable about anything and everything in the area from history to culture and back, I just want to win the lottery and cut him a check for $2m so he can be done with his “ongoing renovation project.” That said, the pool is fantastic - well maintained and perfect temperature, and the French toast at breakfast IS...

The room was as advertised. Large, bright, Clean, Comfortable. Stan set a new bar for communication. The day before I traveled I had in email from Stan that contained His promise to make our stay PERFECT. When we arrived he showed us around and went through the breakfast routine. We then headed to our room and he went through it from head to toe. He left his personal cell phone # if there was anything else we needed. I cant imagine anyone calling Stan I could see that he is on top of things there. which is why I am moving more towards B&Bs now. I have to be honest I did not pay attention to the date ( 4/31/2018 YUP Easter Sunday ) when I booked. I booked because of an event in the area that I wanted to take my wife to. More about that in a minute. I did fell bad that I was in his home on Easter Sunday. My point is he has turned his home into a business that even on a Holiday you can expect his personal attention and care. I felt like his home was our Home for the night. And a beautiful home it is. Now about the event....Full Moon Hike, barn fire and wine tasting at Hill Top Orchard in Richmond just a 15 min ride away. Good wine if your into that sort of thing... I took my wife thee because she likes being outdoors and wine. As a bonus I had some hard cider that was fantastic.

There are many things to do in the area and all listed in Stan's Guide and can be found in your room. I hope you have the same experience as...
