The Little Lion

Comfortable king-size bed; refrigerator and microwave (though we didn't use the microwave); very nice shower with no danger of scalding. Contactless check in/check out, but staff was very responsive when I called with a problem. Clear information about how to get assistance from "parent" property. Room was spacious; we had a table and two chairs out front of the room and two very comfortable easy chairs in the room. Convenient location for attending events at Tanglewood and Shakespeare & Co. in Lenox. We also made a day trip to Williamstown. We ate breakfast in Stockbridge. Great location for hiking, though we didn't really do any. All the staff people we met in person or by phone were very nice.

We loved The Little Lion. Check in is a breeze. Before you arrive, you are sent the room number and pin number and when you arrive, you are all set. Clean, comfortable, quiet, serene, The dogs loved being there. Room amenities were perfect. Nice linen and towels. Room smelled clean when we arrived. Shower was great. Great hot water. Heat worked well. The grounds are nice. Walking trails, restaurants and shopping are all close by. We can't say enough about this motel. The Red Lion did a great job with this little gem. You also get to use the ameneties of the Red Lion Inn which is just up the road. (Even the pool and hot tub!!) My wife and I were impressed with the value of this motel. And did I mention there is NO PET FEE AT ALL!? This was our first visit to The Little Lion and definitely not our last.

The location was awesome. Right across the road from hiking trails. And close to town. I loved that we were able to use the amenities at the red lion inn. They were very friendly there. The area behind the hotel was awesome for my dogs.

This is an older motel that was refurbished while retaining its original charm. Our room (#9) was basic but spotless with a very comfortable bed. The continental breakfast had lots of variety and good coffee. For those seeking other options, there are several restaurants within a short drive. I'd also like to mention that due to an unexpected family situation at home, we were almost forced to cancel our stay. We were able to sort things out and keep our reservation but I'd be remiss if I didn't thank Rhonda (innkeeper) for her prompt responses and assistance with late check-in instructions. We'd recommend the Briarcliffe and will be back!

Charming, comfortable and clean room with refrigerator and microwave, well appointed bathroom, and pet friendly.
