What guests think

At The Red Lion Inn, guests praise the historic charm, antiques, inviting porch, and year-round heated pool and hot tub, while also noting that its age brings quirks like creaky floors, small bathrooms, and occasional maintenance or noise issues.

Staff are widely described as friendly and accommodating, though some guests experienced slow service or housekeeping inconsistencies. Rooms vary widely; several are spacious and comfortable, while others feel dated, with musty odors, weak temperature control, and spotty Wi-Fi or older TVs. Dining and bars, including the Lion’s Den with live music, are popular, but some meals are considered overpriced and reservations or waits can be an issue. Expect a character-rich, central stay best for travelers who value history over modern polish.

Live the front porch and dining room. We were first assigned a room in the Steven’s bldg. it was completely not up to standards. Musty smell , far from hotel and old dirty furniture. I complained to the front desk and was upgraded to a nicer building. Staff very cooperative. The pool was cloudy and in need of cleaner water. No amenities.

I was very excited to stay at the Red Lion Inn. The outside of the Inn was charming, the inside had beautiful antiques and furniture, however the floor and carpeting were in terrible condition. The girl at the front desk rolled her eyes at me when I asked about the haunted room. She said I’ve been here 3 years and there’s nothing. Now I’m not a ghost hunter, but I thought it was cool that it could be haunted. The bathroom in our room was DISGUSTING. There was some gooey stuff in the sink that would not come clean, even after housekeeping. Although I love the old charm, the bathroom had a big claw foot tub with a shower that was some cheap metal rod with a shower head. There was no shelf to hold toiletries. It was extremely small and the toilet was very low to the ground. Idk how someone tall could sit comfortably. I do appreciate the charm, and the overall vibe, but get some new carpet and get rid of the nasty sink in room 320

This is an historic building so understandably old but it needs a serious update. Carpet in room is stained and threadbare. Bathroom is a bit rustic with loud bathroom fan and open area for sink. Food is ok but service spotty but friendly. Porch vibe is great but not enough to come back again.

I can only describe our experience as heartbreaking. I have stayed at the Red Lion many times over the past 30 years - even spent New Year’s Eve one year. It was a treasure, Stockbridge at its finest. We drove out of our way to stay there on this trip. Unfortunately, the Inn has fallen into disrepair. This is not shabby chic - this is just shabby. Torn and fraying carpet on stairs, stained carpet in our room, wallpaper peeling, bathroom caulking grimy, furniture upholstery fraying, (I could go on and have pictures of it all). When we complained, instead of discounting the outrageously priced stay, we were given an upgrade for our next visit. We read that the Inn is under new management. Let’s hope they can get their act together and not run a cherished landmark into the ground.

We couldn’t get a table at the restaurant but there are other good options in walking distance. The only disappointment was that the fireplace in our room was not working.

There's a big difference between "charm" and "neglect," especially in a room that costs $500 per night. Is $500 a night appropriate for a bathroom with a old, peeling vinyl floor? Is it a good price for a room with a door so mis-shapen that there's a 1-inch gap between the top of the door and the doorframe, so you can peer into the room when the door is shut? Is $500 a night deserved for a room with a bedspread so old, it's been worn straight through in places (holes). You can decide for yourself. Just know what to expect.

IThe Red Lion Inn is an institution. The porch, the shop, there’s even a pool in back. It’s a wonderful place and is clearly well run. The ambiance is very pleasant. Not hyper but friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed our stay in a really nice room on the 4th floor. The bathroom was huge and clean and recently updated. I’m eager to stay again. We were there very early in the Spring. High season will be a different vibe. The nearby Norman Rockwell Museum was worth a visit but costs $45 for 2 senior rate entries. Plan to stay a couple of hours to get you money’s worth.

The Red Lion is a historic hotel. When we checked it they told us they were putting us in a building they use for overflow guests. Very disappointing. The room had a thin carpet which was damp and musty. TV was broken and could not even be fixed by their engineer. In room phone didn’t work. Over all terrible.

We stayed in one of the houses on the property. The room was clean but we would have liked the balcony to be cleaned of leaves and some empty cans left there. They came to clean the room at 8:15 am and we asked for them to return later but they never did. For the 3 nights we stayed there the room was never cleaned. The pool was nice although the lounge chairs were soaking wet and we couldn't sit in them. The staff was nice, and the food and bar were good. For what we paid for the 3 nights it's not a very good value.

Overpriced property with poor customer service. I spent 3 nights at the RLI. My daughter is attending an area boarding school and was I looking for my go-to place for when I come to visit her. RLI will not be it. Firstly, my $1400+ rate did not include breakfast. Additionally, the simple request for hot water so that I could have my morning or evening tea, either went unanswered (front desk phone would ring and ring and ring) or would not be sent after speaking with someone. I did manage to get hot water when I went downstairs to retrieve it or on Sunday morning when someone brought it pretty quickly. Additionally, the internet is not secure for guests. When I asked why there was a staff secure access and not one for guests, I was told that that would be an upgrade in the future. If you plan on doing work while there, think again. I did not eat at the restaurant, so I cannot comment on the food. Also, plan on getting up really early as the cleaning crew comes around for housekeeping around 9:30. Overall, I would not revisit. You can get much better value at a Bed & Breakfast (and actually get breakfast) or at a chain hotel.

Overall a very unique spot with so many old photos and prints on the wall that record a rich history. At the same time great service and excellent food. Highly recommended.

We loved the charm and the way the property sprawled around the cute town square. Our room was very spacious, clean and the bed was super soft and comfy. However, we felt that some of the outside details were lacking (unmowed lawns, chipping paint). We also had very slow (had to ask to order after more than 30 minutes at the worst) service in two of the restaurants.
