You can hear every sound that every guest makes in this house. It is impossible to sleep. Our room did not have a bathroom attached and this was not in the room description. There is an inch gap between the walls and door so there is literally no sound proofing. There is also no attendant on site and when I called the line to request something for our room no one answered. Overall a completely terrible experience, the worst place I have ever stayed

We were not informed that the bathroom was NOT part of the room, but across the public hallway. Even though it was for our use only, I would have never accepted the room had I known in advance. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it but would request a different room with an en-suite bathroom.

We were surprised to enter the property and find no one to greet us. There should have been a prominent sign that said that guests needed to check in at the other hotel. But instead we buzzed buzzers and called the emergency number trying to find someone to check us in.

Rooms are on the second and third floors and no elevator. Our standard king on the second floor did not have an en suite bathroom. Needed to go across the hall to the toilet. The shower stall was very small and the overhead rainfall shower head was very big. The weekend breakfast buffet about what you would find at a low-cost chain motel. That said, the coffee was very tasty and access to Tanglewood was simple.

Old world charm building with high ceilings and period features. Comfortable bed with nice bedding. En suite bathroom could use some love. One lightbulb was out and the toiletries weren’t fully stocked. Some visible mildew. Overall, a pleasant experience for our overnight stay.

Our stay at The Dewey was fantastic! Everything was easy and efficient, and it was so close to both town and Tanglewood. The bed was comfortable, the water pressure in the 3rd floor shower was fantastic, and the room was well-appointed without being overly crowded. I also have to commend the owners for their attention to detail - after many, many years of traveling all over the world, this was the first time I have ever stayed in a hotel where the hairdryer came with a diffuser attachment. (What a treat for my curls!) We would definitely stay here again.

Charming hotel up on a hill with a view of downtown Lenox and the hills beyond. Spent a long weekend in the Hawthorne suite. A nicely designed space for laying about and reading books. Super nice bathroom with a skylight over a clawfoot tub, even on a cold winter day it was wonderful to take a steaming hot bath with natural light flooding in from above. The staff at the hotel were fantastic too. I showed up to check in, realizing just then that I had inadvertently booked the room for the following week. The concierge didn’t even blink, but within a matter of minutes had sorted out my reservation with no additional charges. I would be back at this property in a heartbeat. One additional note, the hotel is just a stones throw from the Center of Lennox and an easy walk or a very quick drive from a great pizzeria on Main Street, and the downtown shops, cafés, and restaurants off Housatonic Street.

Beautiful old home, so much warmth. Large room. Nice snacks and access is easy to kitchen and common room. We walked to dinner to Frankie’s, and it was somewhat dangerous walking down the front stairs and steps with no lighting at the Dewey. Otherwise we loved our stay!

The Whitlock is right in town, loving eating area and sitting and bar downstairs. Rooms are simple and open and spacious- we had a suite. Bathroom was great lots of light and windows. The Dewey was absolutely sublime- so period - several cozy living rooms all the sitting, books, games and nic knacks to admire. Convenient kitchen with yummy breakfast nibbles.

Overall pretty disappointed. We went out of our way to book a room with a fireplace only to find out it was not operational yet. The carriage house also did not have working wifi, the entrance smelled moldy, and the hand soap for the bathroom was empty. No big deal, but I asked on two separate occasions to get a refill and was told it would be taken care of - had to go out and get our own. You also have to check in at another location which was a little strange but totally doable. Overall feels like a leftover bed and breakfast that is going by the wayside.
