Rooms more sound proof

So sorry. Had to leave early and missed breakfast.

The house is older, which is part of the charm, but there are the typical inconveniences as a result (few outlets, etc.)

Friendly staff with many recommendations about the area; comfortable bed; antique communal rooms; close to the center of town

Stayed in October 2023

Uncomfortable mattress; must carry luggage up stairs (ok for us but might be difficult for some)

Walking distance to town; house full of character; knowledgable host of the town and surroundings (Lisa); Lenox is a beautiful town

Loved the feeling of being ‘lost in time’ while strolling through the public rooms, imagining being a guest at a weekend party - very immersive! It was a fitting end to a day visiting nearby gilded age Naumteag!

Internet/wifi was almost unusable. Our room was charming but a bit cramped. We had to juggle power cords to get enough lights in the room

This is a lovely property, a charming old home with lots of antiques and gardens. We weren't there long enough to take it all in.

The Inn is centrally located in Lenox, about 7 minutes from Tanglewood where we were going to see Jackson Browne. Parking is in a small parking lot, or on the street in front fo the in. The Inn is a 19th century Tudor Manor House, and the family who have determined to accept the privilege of maintaining this step back in time are doing a wonderful job. That being said the guest has to remember that the facility is exactly that. Well appointed with art, literature, a grand piano (I love live music) and many antiquities. We did not venture on to the grounds, and it was a perfect time to do so, but... my loss. While we had Mr. Whistler's room we found it spacious, comfortable, even the mattress ,as I often find mattresses at a B&B uncomfortable this was great. It was a King size mattress and there was an ocean of space between my wife ,and myself, which she enjoyed. The room was clean, no dust bunnies under the bed or behind the cast iron radiator. The WiFi was difficult that night, but was working fine in the morning. Breakfast was simple, we requested french toast. We received two slices each on our plates along with syrup, juice, coffee, and a assortment of other sundry sweets, breads, cakes, teas, available for the taking. Most memorable about the breakfast was the friendly conversations that were had with the other guests, as you would expect in a bed and breakfast. An early riser I was downstairs snooping for and cup of coffee, where I met people with a similar mindset and we got right down to talking. The dining room was charming, as were all of the rooms that you could visit with others. At 8:00 serving time was great. About Lenox, it is a beautiful New England village, as you might expect in a story book. We did not have much time to explore, our early evening mission was to find dinner before going to the concert. Definitely Frankies!

The location is perfect to get around the Berkshires...very charming inn!

It feels tired. While I think the housekeeping is fine, everything is old, and feels impregnated with dust. The antique bathroom fixtures still work, though the water runs constantly.

It has character. Each room is unique. Breakfast includes excellent omelets and a good variety of baked goods and fruit. It is about 1/2 mile from downtown Lenox. The owners are lovely people.

The African Room, which is away from the main inn, is large but odd. The decor was a mishmash and the carpentry work poor. There was an old nordic track stuffed in the corner. It just wasn’t an nice space.

The main inn seemed lovely but we stayed in a room above the carriage house which was a bit quirky.

Old toilet was particularly slow to refill. Old shower head was not optimum.

Excellent location and spacious room. As expected, an old home does not have all the conveniences of a modern structure.

Our guest room #11 was around the side of the house off the porch, in a very tiny addition. Our guest room was tiny, the double bed was comfortable but there was no drawer space or place to sit except the bed. If it hadn't been pouring rain we might have walked outside to go sit in the main house parlor and hang out.

Whistler's Inn really feels like one of the authentic old Lenox homes and is an easy walk from town. It dates from 1865, and was made into a 14-room inn in the late 70s, showing its age nicely in a very well maintained package ... Now owned and run by family of the original owner. Lisa is helpful and nice, serving breakfast and doing the check-in tour. We liked the breakfast -- your choice of eggs, pancakes, French toast, available mornings in the very pretty parlor. Her parents are also very nice, full of stories and gossip about Lenox history, the artists who visit the area, and artists who live and work there now. We liked the suggestions they made for local sightseeing.

While we expected (and got) a historic inn, we noticed quite a bit of deferred maintenance. For example, the window screens in our room were ill-fitting which allowed mosquitos and flies to enter, which had a detrimental effect on our enjoyment and sleep. While the price for the room may have been typical for Lenox, it seemed high for what we got.

The location was great - easy to get into town, but somehow shielded from noise. Easy to find parking. Breakfast was fine - it got better on our second (of three) mornings when we learned that hot options (eggs, omelettes) were available. The inn provided lots of options for dining: community style, or more private on the sun porch or outside. Both Joan and Lisa were very helpful with “local tips” for getting to and from Tanglewood, as well as where to park for easy egress.

Big bug in our room at night. Dirty refrigerator

We came after the breakfast was closed, but they unexpectedly gave us a great breakfast. Personal staff.

when I went to take a shower around 3:45pm the shower didn't work I don't know why. Subsequently the next morning it did work. Lisa did not tell me the WiFi connection information and it isn't posted in the room.

The charm of the place and a nice breakfast spread and location

Very nice owners who care very much for their Inn and their guests needs. We did have a few issues which when the owners were made aware, were appropriately handled. Great location for Tanglewood and the region. Great breakfast too.

Our bathroom was smaller than others.

We stayed here for our son's wedding ceremony which was held across the street. The staff was easy going and friendly. Although we showed up after breakfast was over, they offered it to us anyway.

We liked everything. There are not many outlets in the rooms which is understandable as the house was built a long time ago.

We liked the interior and design of this hotel. It felt like we were staying in a palace. The breakfast was amazing. It's not only the food was exceptional, but there was also music playing and the fireplace lit creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Guests could choose items for the breakfast (we were offered eggs or french toast) which are prepared to order. But more importantly, we liked the hospitality of the hosts, Lisa, and her parents. They were eager to answer all our questions about the area and gave recommendations of places to visit. It was very interesting to hear the history of the house and the residents who once occupied it. We spent amazing evenings sitting in the library drinking sherry and having wonderful conversations.

The room was a bit small but it truly was all I needed for one night.

It was definitely B&B so rooms were quaint but small. The breakfast part was fabulous. I was only there for a night so it was a clean, heavenly place to stay after a long day’s drive. They were also pet friendly which was a huge boon.

Nothing really.

Very nice breakfast. Your choice of eggs, pancakes, french toast plus the usual continental breakfast fare. Delicious coffee. Historic old house that was really interesting and fun to explore.

Great location - easy access to Lenox Cultural Center. Across from a beautiful old cemetary. Great breakfast and conversation with the owners!

Can't think of anything.

Interesting 19th century house run by a charming family. Our room was spacious and comfortable. The site picture does not do it justice. Good breakfast.
