We greatly appreciate a pet friendly hotel with no extra pet fees! Hotel was dated but had charm and we loved using the pool at the beautiful Red Lion.

Hotel was clean and facilities were maintained. Best part was that you are permitted to use amenities at The Red Lion Inn down the road.

The A/C was noisy - maybe a bad bearing? It would be helpful if the shower had a shelf - I bring my own shampoo. This was our first time with contactless check in - went OK.

Easy parking and short drive to town. Grounds are well cared for. Self check in was easy. Our bathroom light/vent sounded like a jet engine and the air conditioning unit was noisy. The door to our bathroom looked like it had been scratched by an unhappy dog. Perhaps because it is pet friendly, it’s difficult to keep the bathroom floors clean?

No management on property. Rooms were clean. It's been somewhat updated recently but feel they should have done more.

Little Lion Inn provides very basic services in very clean facilities with a welcome atmosphere at the Red Lion Inn. a few miles up the road. There is nothing very remarkable about the property — but the Berkshires provide plenty of opportunities for beauty, well designed gardens, places to walk and relax.

My stay here was very pleasant. Booking was a breeze and I did like the fact they were easy to communicate with and checking in was so easy. Love the simplicity. Whenever I have to travel back to that town I will surely stay here again. In fact I will be next week.

We were not impressed with The Little Lion Inn. It was definitely lacking in amenities. There was no ice or vending machine with beverages for purchase. There was no coffee machine in the room and no morning coffee available on the premises. The pool is not on the premises, but is 3 miles down the road at a partner inn ( The Red Lion Inn).We were staying just one night and that was plenty. We have stayed at The Red Lion Inn and it was lovely. They really missed the mark on this facility.

The property did not communicate with me about the unit and entry code until 1:30 pm for a 3 pm check-in. The property was similar to a 1970's Motel 6 which may be the "norm" for this area. While adequate, it was far from impressive or even "reflective of the cost."
