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.

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."
