Wind in the Pines — Local services in Great Barrington

If you want to stay in an old, outdated motel/hotel that is uncomfortable, this is your place. Just like someone else said the beds are uncomfortable, the pillows are like cement, the curtains barely cover the windows and look like someone just cut a lice of cloth and hung them up. They give you a warning their septic is bad and the bathroom sinks handle to let the water out was broken and the sink filled with water.

I got there at 5:04 and was told check...
