Stumbled upon this place for dinner. Had the perogies, steamers and meatloaf. Everything was fantastic. We'll definitely be back.

This place is now called the Buttonball Inn. When we booked it was Egremont. We only found out by…read morecalling to confirm our reservation a few days out. That should've been the first red flag. Second, don't believe the photos. Property is not upgraded and in much poorer condition than advertised (especially the rooms). Very old bathroom fixtures, window AC unit kept turning off and on, stains on lamp shade, light scones in bathroom do not work, cracks/stains in wallpaper (see pics). Our room door would not lock with the key they provided. (It would not even lock with the skeleton key the staff member tried). We reported this and were told it would be fixed the same day. When we returned it was not fixed. Ensuring that the room doors can all be locked is a basic safety standard. This was not upheld. Not only that, their staffing levels is also below industry standards. No one is reachable, not by phone, not by presence on the property, not by email. We came in around 9 on our last night for example. The main door to the inn was opened, didn't even have to use the key to enter (is this even safe?). Not one staff person was on site for us to follow up re: door. We were told we would receive a text about the door that morning. We did not. Tried calling and emailing and got no response. We found this very unprofessional and inhospitable. Do not waste your time or money to stay here.

A Community Venue Changed…read more The Egremont Barn, now operating as Buttonball Barn, was once a cornerstone of local music and community gathering. Because of our long-standing connection to the space, my husband and I chose it for our wedding celebration, placing our deposit with the previous owners, who were professional and supportive throughout the process. After the property changed ownership, we still proceeded with our event in October. This celebration held particular significance, as my father was seriously ill at the time, and we were grateful he was able to attend. Unfortunately, our experience with the new ownership raised serious concerns about professionalism, transparency, and respect for both clients and staff. On the day of the event, the owner attempted to impose additional charges not outlined in our contract. This included a demand for a $500 fee for using a room to get ready--a space she had explicitly told me I could use earlier in the day, noting it was acceptable despite the building being under construction. While I was getting ready, she entered the room while my mother and a family friend were assisting me and removed a rug from beneath them, stating that I "wasn't supposed to use the room all day." I chose not to address this at the time in order to preserve the tone of the day. Throughout the event, the owner was also openly drinking at the open bar, which had been paid for by my father. As the night concluded, she insisted that I personally break down the entire venue either immediately or first thing the following morning--despite knowing I had family visiting--or I would be charged for a cleaning crew. This expectation had not been communicated beforehand and was not included in the contract. When I suggested discussing it the next day, she continued to press the issue and confronted my husband, who attempted to redirect the conversation. To avoid further escalation, my friends and I cleaned the venue that night--while I was still in my wedding dress. She later stated that she would retain space heaters I had purchased in exchange for waiving the disputed room fee. When I noted that none of these charges or arrangements were contractually agreed upon, she responded, "I'm expensive, and I'm not in the contract either, honey," in reference to her being casted on The Real Housewives of New York City. Additionally, her conduct toward long-standing staff members--many of whom had supported the venue for years--was concerning and contributed to an atmosphere that felt transactional rather than community-centered. Some of those staff members have since left the venue. What was most troubling was the timing and context. The attempts to extract additional money occurred at the end of a wedding celebration involving a seriously ill parent, placing unnecessary stress on a family during an already significant moment. The Egremont Barn once represented collaboration, music, and mutual respect. Under its current ownership, that spirit appears to have shifted toward aesthetics and revenue at the expense of community and care. I encourage readers to proceed with caution, ask detailed questions, and ensure all expectations are clearly documented in writing before booking events there.

I've reviewed this location before with high marks. It was our go-to for football season for my son…read moreat St. John Fisher. Not sure if it was a bad weekend to come. But the Marriott standard is not being checked or upheld. I'm lifetime platinum. I've stayed roughly 900 nights in Marriott properties. I have a baseline to compare. 1) clean towels absolutely stunk. Like sat for days in the washer to mold and then dry stench. Getting them wet made it 199x worse. 2) had to beg for the bedding for the fold out couch. Was told it was under the tv. I checked 4 times. Even went back to check. Not there. Had to beg to get. 3) came at an odd hour. Son and I looking for a snack. The market was literally bare. All shelves spread out with original skittles and potato chips. That's it. Freezer section was off. Nothing in there but a towel for moisture. Soda and drinks were old and Pepsi product - any self-respecting Marriott fan knows they ended their 34-year relationship with Pepsi for Coke. That brand standard is not being enforced. 4) in the room remote controls don't work, end tables plugs don't have power, lights unplugged and their cords are behind headboards. Dishwasher full. Just overall a miss. This is likely all unknown to corporate and on the operator. Maybe it was a glitch. But there's so many options in the area I am going to continue to find new and different. Positives: morning shift folks were lovely and breakfast was hot and fresh.

We have stayed here over the years maybe a dozen times. We have enjoyed our stays here. But over…read morethe years they have started to go down hill. Let me explain. No more all day coffee. They stated waste as primary reason. But during the cold winter months its always nice to have some coffee and hot cocoa. Breakfast quality and selection. Over the past year and especially after the pandemic the quality of the breakfast has really gone down. No more whip cream for the waffles. No more strawberry sauce. No more toppings. No salsa available. New patrons might not notice. But I've been coming here for the past 15 years so I notice. Rooms themselves are still fine. Maybe getting to be slightly dated but overall still well maintained. They do have to bring some of these things back!

Inconsistent. On the one hand the Sunday brunch was surprisingly good; very fresh eggs, spinach and…read moresalad. Honestly was not expecting as much. The room was cute with some very nice touches - a decorative chest with extra blankets topped with a welcome candy; extremely plush bathrobes and a first rate hair dryer. It felt like some care went into the planning. Which made the downsides quite surprising. They are as follows -Leftover bottles, half-consumed - in our fridge from what I assume were the last guests. -The breakfast pastries were truly abysmal. Croissants so hard and tasteless that we could not eat them. I understand continental means light however some granola and pastries that didn't feel like bricks would have been nice. Very odd as brunch the day before was so good. We bailed immediately an went instead down the road to Mom's Country Cafe. -Dinner not nearly as impressive as brunch. I had read the negative reviews about the service but most seemed to be from a Thanksgiving debacle last year so assumed things had improved. The one waiter (for what looked to be at least 25 diners) was working his tail off and truly did the best he could in am impossible situation. Why they did not learn from the Thanksgiving experience is hard to understand. But kudos to the waiter for juggling this with a smile. Our wheatberry salads were ok - passable but nothing special. -Inconsistencies in the check in process as well. Check in is at 4. We arrived around 1 and were told by the young woman at the desk to wait till at least 3:30 which was fine but felt odd as it seemed like there was hardly anyone else staying there. They do offer early check in for $50 which IMO is ridiculous and unwelcoming. We went for a hike and returned around 3. The now gentleman at the desk told us our room was ready. In fact he said "the text letting us know how to access our room key is our signal that the room is ready." Interesting because I received that text at 1pm. The staff is friendly for the most part though front desk staff exuded some false sincerity and it seemed like our questions were a bit of an annoyance.

The sconces and head board were cute and they have a nice little basic TV. Also the porch outside the room was nice to have so that you didn't feel as if you were trapped in a room.... Ok now the not so good is the shower and bathroom---- it's clean and new so that's GOOD. It's just the design - no one wants to touch fabric/ vinyl shower curtains , the floor is grey so it has a prison feel and the whole bathroom looks like they got them off the shelves of Home Depot or Lowe's . Not my cup of tea... feels cheap and not comfortable ;( I really disliked the bathroom situation and the towels, while new, were designed with freying edges . Which made them feel dingy ;( I won't come back but if you are in a pinch and there is no place else to go you won't be disappointed .. just know what to expect.......... If the owners are reading this... please take cues from other boutique hotels in the Hudson area. Make it cute - use better products-- use tile and glass and upgrade the place.... Also don't wallpaper the place yourselves, it shows ..... the place looks like it will fall apart in a year or two ;(

Update: On 6/29/26 the "owner" of this hotel using a phone number linked to "mergo property…read moremanagement" texted me to offer a full refund for deleting my original review. It was a scummy move on his part and a scummy move on my part to accept it and delete the google review. What followed was two weeks of saying to watch for it its been sent, claiming an incorrect amount, incorrect credit card, incorrect booking site, refusing to refund via venmo or paypal because the refund has been sent, walking back a statement to refund via venmo if not received by today 7/13/26 and a threat to cancel the supposedly non cancelable refund if my review was reposted. So the review is back, and another will be posted with regard to the owners deception given it was seperate from the original stay. Tldr: No staff on hand, pictures appear better than room, no ac on a humid 90 degree day, non functioning door pad, windows left unlocked, ground level room with peeling painted floor, unsealed holes in wall and tub to floor allowed insects, frog and salamander into room, various unpainted patched holes and damaged trim surfaces, unfinished osb and drywall screw furnishings, smoke detector near bed had a strobe light flashing every 30 seconds or so through the night, toilet was not secured to floor, Very doubtful the room would pass a board of health inspection. Mattress was nice 0 response from motel after a week of sending email of concerns.

I have been staying here for a week now. I am in town on business and I did not want to stretch my…read moreclients budget too much so I chose to stay at the Days Inn instead of a fancy B&B. I am pleasantly surprised actually. I have never stayed at a motel before I and must say I have enjoyed the experience. The staff is very friendly and housekeeping do a great job. The only reason I would not stay here again is the terrible internet connection. That may not sound like a legit complaint, seeing as you are in western MA and you should be outside anyway. However, I need to connect to my company's servers and simply cannot. It is constantly dropping off regardless of having a strong signal. So if you are planning on staying in town for business be sure to ask the front desk if the internet was upgraded (he said it would happen soon). Overall, quite happy!

You can walk to all of the shops and restaurants within the town. Our room was perfectly fine - it was clean and the linens and furnishings were in good condition. It was nice to have a fridge in the room. The bathroom was fine as well, although the floor could have been cleaner. The breakfast was perfectly adequate - waffle maker, scrambled eggs, sausage, toast, packaged muffins, yogurt, hard boiled eggs and packaged dole fruit cups. Service was good - the desk clerks were friendly and helpful in providing restaurant recommendations. We slept well here and I'd stay here again.
