I lovedddd my stay at the Alander. Truly dont know how I didn't write a review about them yet…read more Firstly, the owners are beautiful people. Super helpful, creative eye and always available for advice. The rooms were so beautifully decorated. All set with the cutest fridge and snack station with everything you'd ever want. The bathroom was super well lit and also decorated so uniquely. The Alander is located in the center of a ton of activities and super close to the Berkshires. Also a lot of great hikes available. They also have a gorgeous firepit that we took advantage of at night. Not to mention their restaurant - The North Star. Delicious and convenient. I would absolutely stay here again and have already brought it up to family. Put The Alander on your list!

Service and quality of the room and bathroom is pathetic…read more When you book, you get a text message welcoming you but you soon realize it is a one way communication, from the hotel to you. For check in, they send you a code to use on the electronic key pad. We had booked two rooms. Got code for one room. Tried to call them as there is no reception, got VM. There was a message that AFTER you enter the room there is a phone number to call so we did call from the one room we could access and it went to the same VM. We waited till there was someone at the restaurant and she was able to call the mystery people from this hotel and get our second room code. The bathtub was filthy. The ceiling had spots. See photos. This is not a boutique hotel. It is less than motel 6.

Every room is a little bit different which gives us an excuse to keep coming back to see what details we have yet to discover. My husband is an architect and when he's appreciative of the design, we know we've found a new favorite. The bathrooms have every amenity (including heated floors) and the mod fixtures in the bedrooms (a tv tray built into a coffee tablet that's so 60s/70s) are so fun. We will be back as often as possible!

Brunch was nice too - a concise yet interesting, inclusive menu of unconventional dishes. Hotel is right at the end of Warren street with ample parking making it convenient to walk, dine, shop & return in no time. The lobby is open till midnight which is also better compared to other small town lodges that typically close at 9-10. While RTL maybe listed as a 2-star hotel, it's still an expensive option. However, it doesn't compromise on your experience & I'd recommend a stay here when in Hudson.

Loved the decor all around and that many things had been thought out for the guests. We were on a road trip and just stumbled upon it, but wish we could have stayed more than 1 night.

Definitely recommend this place.

We had a suite on the 3rd Floor. We booked this hotel because it was said to have Air conditioning…read more You were supposed to tell the front desk what temp you wanted your rooms they control, so they say. We had an in window unit also. Next thing you know, we had big beetle/bugs in our room! Killed 6 of them. Gross. The desk told us there was an infestation in the area and there was nothing they could do. They were most likely coming in from the in window ac unit. And, that unit did nothing to cool and neither did the hotel ac. Today as we got out of bed, the floor was damp and sticky. On our way back to LA!!! Yeah!

I was completely charmed over by the Wake Robin Inn; it was love at first sight from the moment we…read morepulled into the driveway. This tiny inn is literally in the middle of nowhere, and there are less than 20 rooms, but it is perfect for an unplugged weekend getaway (although they do have free wifi) or a wedding, which is what we were there for. The layout is a tad confusing. The main inn is almost at the end of a tiny dirt road, but there is an "outhouse" of rooms closer to the entrance. I'm also not sure if there is an official restaurant or not because we missed breakfast and the wedding was catered by an outside company. The grounds are natural and beautiful -- like a well-manicured backyard complete with garden, fire pit and gazebo. Our room felt like my old bedroom in my parents' house, with a private bathroom. I truly felt like I was a guest in someone's home -- down to the communal iron and ironing board propped against the wall in the hallway. Given that this is a tiny inn, there are no newfangled key cards; they use old-fashioned keys, and our room was unlocked when we arrived. This normally would be sketchy, but in such a small, remote place, it didn't bother me. There is also no central air conditioning, but there are air conditioning units in all rooms along with ceiling fans. It was summer, so it didn't bother me in the least, but it didn't appear there was heat in our third floor "servants' quarters" room, and there was a space heater in the closet. There are extra blankets on the bed, and I'm sure heat rises, but it is something to be aware of if you are visiting during the New England winter. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. There are a couple of key points that prevent me from giving Wake Robin five stars. 1. The mattresses could use replacing. This too felt like my childhood bedroom where the mattress is 27 years old and hard as a rock. 2. The bathroom amenities, while all natural and eco-friendly, were a tad sparse. This curly-haired girl needs conditioner people! And while there were cotton balls, Q-tips and makeup remover pads, there were no tissues. Odd. 3. I understand TV isn't the priority, but a tiny 30-inch rear projection on an end table tucked under an eave? At least fake an entertainment center. 4. A pub would be adorable right off the lobby, offering simple sandwiches, salads and drinks. Overall, we had a lovely night at the Wake Robin Inn, and I would consider returning for a little weekend getaway. The nearby town centers are so quaint and worth exploring.

If you were to choose between Rocking Horse Ranch and Great Wolf Lodge, it's an easy choice. Yes,…read moreRocking Horse Ranch is more expensive but there is an endless amount of activities for the kids to do. We came on the coldest weekend of the year but my kids had a blast skiing, snow tubing, horseback riding, pony rides, arcade, game room, playing laser tag, swimming in the pool, the outdoor hot tub, and the nightly shows. Food is included in the price and it is buffet style for breakfast and lunch. Dinner is not but you are more than welcome to order more and take things to go. There's snacks available between lunch and dinner but there's also hot chocolate/coffee available all day long with some pastries. The only downside were the rooms. They are connected so if you have loud neighbors, you won't be getting good sleep. Overall, my kids loved the place and want to go back soon. I guess we'll have to wait for another Black Friday deal.

We stayed at Rocking Horse Ranch Tuesday through Thursday on a midweek deal and had a really…read moreenjoyable experience. I went with my wife and our two adult children (18 and 24). While they are a bit older than the resort's main target audience, it ended up being a great fit, especially since they had never been horseback riding and hadn't skied before. Everyone had a great time. We stayed in the main building in a room with two queen beds and bunk beds. The room was very clean, and the beds were comfortable with soft mattresses and pillows. Temperature-wise, it was funny, my son and I were warm, while my wife and daughter were cold, so I guess that means the room temperature was just right. One thing to note: the walls are thin. You can definitely hear noise from nearby rooms and above. Since this is a family-focused resort, that's kind of expected. It didn't bother us, but if you're looking for total quiet, this may not be the place. Since it was midweek, there were discounts, and they even offered us on our last night an extra night for and even more discounted rate. We were ready to head home, but I would absolutely consider staying longer next time. The resort is all-inclusive, and the food was solid overall. * Breakfast was your typical buffet--scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, French toast, etc. They will cook eggs to order if you ask. * Lunch was buffet-style as well and changed daily. Not amazing, but it got the job done. * Dinner was my favorite meal and felt a bit higher quality, with multiple courses and limited menu options (which I actually liked). * Dessert was fun, especially the ice cream machine. One thing I noticed is that the food is served at a kid-friendly temperature, which took a little getting used to. I'm guessing they do this so kids don't get burned. The activities were the highlight. Skiing was fantastic because it was almost empty, there were only a few other people on the hill. Since I hadn't skied since the early 90s, it was great to have the space to fall a few times without worrying about others. The staff was extremely helpful and encouraging. The hill is more like a bunny slope, but honestly, it's perfect for beginners. If you spent a few days learning here, you'd feel confident going to a bigger mountain. Horseback riding was also great, and since it was midweek, we could have gone multiple times a day. The indoor/outdoor heated pool was really nice, and there's even a waterslide. A lot of the resort seems better suited for summer, and some things were closed for winter, but we came mainly for skiing, so that didn't bother us. The staff deserves a lot of credit. Everyone was friendly and accommodating, and we never felt rushed. There's a saloon downstairs where they run games at night and offer a free drink of the night. Coffee, tea, and hot chocolate are always available. One small downside: when the dining areas close at night, soda machines aren't accessible, so you'd need to use vending machines (machines were coin only, so I couldn't use my Apple Pay), which felt a little odd for an all-inclusive resort. But, you can grab drinks to go while the dining room is open. On our last day, they let us do a late checkout since no one was checking into our room. We were able to grab lunch and head out without rushing, which was really appreciated. Definitely a lot more things I can talk about, but these were just the stand out things I remember. Overall: Rocking Horse Ranch is a great choice for families, beginners learning to ski, or anyone looking for a relaxed, all-inclusive getaway--especially midweek when it's quieter. It's not luxury, and it's definitely kid-focused, but it's fun, comfortable, and well-run. I'd absolutely go back.

The hotel has a quiet and calm location. The grounds are nice and would make for a small wedding on a budget. We were greeted by the front desk attendant and given our keys to our room. The room was large with a comfortable king bed, sofa, chairs, and clean bathroom. It also had a Keurig with K-cups and tea. View of our room were the open fields, though we kept the window blinds drawn for some privacy. Plenty of hot water available in the bathroom and we felt safe at night. There's no breakfast due to COVID, but they offer some oatmeal and granola bars in the lobby. Location is pretty good; walking distance to a grocery store if you need anything, as well as 15 minutes to Lime Rock, and 10 minutes to a lovely village called Millerton. Beautiful scenic drives and a peaceful overnight stay!

The only minus is all the seating with cushions could use a good deep steam cleaning. Everything else was All Plus's! Three of us were staying in a room. So it was a bit crowded. The room was beautiful! The drinks in the refrigerator (different types of iced teas) were complimentary. Plus they had the real nice coffee maker - The Nespresso. Breakfast was also included and you went to the onsite cafe- provided your room number and we were all set. Right outside our room was two chairs in a table for enjoying outside. We got unlucky with weather our 2nd and final day / night were downpours. But The White Hart had Monopoly so that took up three hours of our time. If we would have gotten better weather they have a front lawn with many chairs and corn hole. Along with deck all around the hotel for playing board games or cards Hope we get to visit again soon!

ORIGIN: Hart is an old English word for a mature male deer,…read moreand a white hart is prominently represented in English folklore. The White Hart itself has some history. The building dates back to 1806, with use as an inn soon thereafter. LOCATION: The White Hart is located in the center of Salisbury, as for centuries, a great place to stop when crossing New England. The town and its surroundings are also worthy of being the destination, as there are many natural attractions, as well as cultural institutions in the vicinity. CONCEPT: Today the White Hart welcomes travelers and local residents alike, with sixteen rooms, two restaurants, a wide porch, and ballroom. There is something for everyone. EXPERIENCE: The White Hart has artwork scattered across the building. As I waited for a garden fundraiser and talk to begin, I walked through the entrance floor and marveled at the variety and number of prints on the walls. A reception was arranged in the bar/lounge area next to the ballroom. Many thoughtful details could be found in the cheese board display. Most unique and striking was the use of a vase of forsythia branches to cast dappled light on the table.
