This past weekend myself and three other families went to the berkshires for a horseshow. The minor issues were that the place smelled musty, the beds were rock hard and I found a condom box in the bedside drawer with three children sitting there. The major issues were the fire hazards that developed for one of my friends. I am... more

Have stayed three times over the past three years, visiting my son at camp. I think it has changed ownership in the past year. While nothing terribly wrong, nothing terribly right either, so like I say, it's fine for an overnight, but not for an extended vacation. I felt corners were cut; no alarm clocks, for example. Decor, and bathroom... more

The first night was ok, room was clean but small. Second night we blew a fuse while blow drying our hair and the owner said he could not get someone to fix it and told us he would give us a flashlight to use. When we got back, he had left 2 lit candles in the room, unattended and ran... more

My family came for Easter Weekend with my wife's folks, so we just wanted an affordable and comfortable bed nearby. We found a pleasant vintage motel (loved the Lucy and Ricky reference from an earlier reviewer), a very friendly and easy-going owner, clean and well maintained rooms, and firm, comfortable mattresses. We took two rooms and the owner discounted our... more

stayed 1 night while travelling round Massachusetts, as a result of previous reviews. The motel is a little dated in decor and may not be to some tastes, however this is compensated for by its convenience for touring the Berkshires and by the cleanliness which was impeccable. This appears a small family run concern and we were given a warm... more

When I read the review about Lucy and Desi, I wasn't sure what they meant. I understood the moment we walked in - you'll find this charming little motel right out of the 50's. Very clean, very appealing with carpet that looked new, a microwave and refrigerator, screens in the windows and air conditioning. You'll fall in love in a... more

This place is a charming base for a visit to the Berkshires. We really liked the screen doors and wood-paneled walls. All the rooms are ground level and it felt more like we had a small cabin than a room at a motel. Our room was very clean and it had a small fridge and microwave along with plenty of... more

If Lucy and Desi took a budget vacation in the Berkshires, they would feel right at home at The Heart of the Berkshires Motel. They would also be happy with the accomodations. This little motel is right out of the 50's, but is nice with super white sheets and soft towels. The beds are comfortable (NOT out the 50's, rest... more

Just like going back to the 1950's but with cable. Daughter was stunned when she walked into room and said, "real wood walls"! Also happy to see other guests sitting outside of their rooms and being very friendly. Owner Rita is also friendly and helpful. Near to all major Berkshire areas and to Mario's Restaurant just over the border into... more

This motel is exceptionally economical but everything was clean, quiet and comfortable. Plenty of clean towels and a nice warm room. Bring your own shampoo as amenities are very basic. Coolers and your own coffee pot make it your own home away from home. Pet friendly for dogs under 12 lbs. Smoking and non-smoking rooms available. Hunter and sportsman's favorite.... more
