Lenox Inn

First, this place is adequate. It provides a cheaper option for the area. It certainly needs a refurbishing but I know that can eat into profits. The room was clean, AC amazingly quiet and efficient. Plenty of parking. Didn't use pool but it was open.

Every now and then we look for clean and cheap. We found that here at the Lenox Inn. It enabled us to spend almost an entire week attending performances at Tanglewood without breaking the bank. The motel is old. It might need a facelift. But the AC worked, the beds and bathroom were spotlessly clean and mid week cost was $55 a night. The hosts were gracious. For that price one cannot complain.

We were disappointed to arrive and find the pool drained and draped in a tarp. Maybe by next summer it will be renovated? I would have given it a higher rating if the pool had been open, as it's always been in past years. We've stayed here many times, partly because it's one of the more reasonably priced places near Tanglewood but mainly because of the unbeatable location right by Guido's Fresh Market, Mazzeo's restaurant, a spotless coin laundry, the CVS drugstore, and both Price Chopper and Stop & Shop grocery stores. In-room amenities include a good quality hair dryer, a mini-fridge and a microwave. Bring your own shampoo, conditioner, and skin lotion.
