We were looking for something to do in the area on a rainy Sunday evening and discovered this old…read moreschool bowling alley / bar / ice cream shop / arcade. Other than a few bar patrons, the place was practically empty. A grumpy gentleman greeted us, seemingly disappointed we had interrupted his quiet night. The facility was clearly showing its age, which we chose to interpret as nostalgic charm rather than lack of upkeep. We bowled a couple games and ultimately enjoyed our visit. Over the course of the evening, the gentleman running the shop watched us intently and promptly assisted whenever the pins were stuck or the ball return needed repair. His disposition improved - perhaps he was thankful to put his services to use. The cost to bowl 2 games for 2 people with shoe rental was about $42...$8/game + $5 shoe rental. It felt a bit expensive, but ultimately, I was happy to give them my patronage as I know I'd be saddened if these small town bowling alleys disappear.

For a 2-star hotel, they had all the amenities you'd find at other locations. They had different room accommodations - 2 queens, king, and even a 1-bedroom suite. The site also provides chargers in the back for those with electric or hybrid vehicles. They also have an indoor heated swimming pool and jacuzzi. Breakfast is offered daily, and on weekends, they provide a little extra to accommodate everyone's needs and taste buds. Management and staff were extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the property. If you're looking for a budget friendly option in the Berkshires, I'd highly recommend.

The UPS ports by the bed were bent, and therefore unusable. The sink did not drain when I went to shave, leaving a mess when the water did drain.

They were loads of fresh fruit to take away, yogurt, and a coffee machine that made one cup at a time. Hence, the coffee was always fresh.

We scheduled multiple planning sessions, and each time they showed up prepared, thoughtful, and ready to offer expert advice to help bring our vision to life. On the day of the wedding, their setup was flawless--everything from the lighting and draping to the microphones and tech was on point. The ambiance they created was exactly what we hoped for, and we were able to fully trust them to take care of every detail. What really stood out was how they went above and beyond--not just for us, but for everyone involved. They worked seamlessly with all of our vendors and even stepped in to help our DJ with last-minute tech needs without skipping a beat. Their calm, can-do attitude made such a difference and gave us total peace of mind. Troy and his team are true professionals who care deeply about their work, and it shows. We're so grateful for everything they did and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a team that's reliable, talented, and goes the extra mile to make your event unforgettable.

We were really looking forward to dining here and had saved this restaurant as the culmination of…read moreour trip to the Berkshires. Unfortunately, our experience was extremely disappointing. We arrived for our reservation and were offered a very small two-top. Because we were dining with our dog, we politely asked if it would be possible to wait for a larger table where she would not be in the way of other guests or staff. We were not demanding a different table -- we were told it would take approximately 30 minutes for another table in a different section to become available, and we happily said we were willing to wait. We sat quietly outside with our dog while waiting. The owner then approached us and told us that waiting for another table would interfere with future seating. We were surprised by this, as we had simply accepted the wait time that was provided to us and had not caused any disruption. The interaction escalated when the owner used profanity toward my husband and threw the water bowl that had been provided for our dog in our direction. We were shocked by the hostility and left without eating. We completely understand that restaurants have to manage reservations and seating, and we would have accepted being told that our request could not be accommodated. What was unacceptable was the way we were spoken to and treated by the owner. We came here excited to spend our money at this restaurant as part of our trip, but we are grateful that Great Barrington has many other excellent establishments where we were welcomed and happy to spend our money instead. Unfortunately, this experience was the opposite of the hospitality we expected.

We had no idea what to expect but the photos online looked nice. We were beyond ecstatic when we checked in & met the owner Corey. He was friendly, professional & customer service is his middle name! The property is gorgeous, beautifully maintained & all rooms completely renovated when he purchased the inn in April of this year. They spared no expense in furnishings & finishes & thought of every needed amenity. You have self check in/out using electronic keypad locks. Rooms are spacious & beautifully designed from the bedroom to the bathroom including retro refrigerator, small table with chairs, and lamps with usb ports. The sliding glass doors at the back of the room let in tons of light during the day & the room darkening curtains allowed us to sleep in peacefully. The property has a beautiful front lawn with adirondack chairs for lounging & table with chairs if you want to enjoy your meals outside or play a board game. My favorite was the swing chair on the porch of the office where I enjoyed a brief relaxing time one night after returning from dinner. The inn's location is central to tons of activities including a sculpture garden, wineries, farms, great restaurants & the Norman Rockwell museum where we viewed the MAD magazine exhibit. The property is meticulously maintained & Corey is always available to assist with any needs. We had a small issue with our door lock & he was onsite immediately to resolve it, even bringing us some delicious cheese & crackers from a local cheese shop for the difficulty. To me the sign of a great business is not one with no bumps/small challenges but the way the owner/management handles that issue, & East Rock Inn gets an A++ for customer service & guest care. I cannot recommend this inn enough & we will definitely be planning our next trip there soon!

The final arrangement was stunning, packed for travel and for presentation. I could not be happier with the final product. I did also buy a small bird to be nestled in the arrangement as well as a stunning heart for our fireplace mantle at home.
