Very nice hotel w/ free breakfast located a five minute drive from center of Lenox. Staff were terrific and rooms are reasonably priced.

The B & B my wife and I booked was a total disappointment & had a major ant problem upon arrival after calling several places we were recommended to call the Yankee Inn by Wyndham. glad we did. we got the last room available it was a "Superior" Room with the same amenities as the B & B but no ants and the room was larger & less expensive. The room is very clean the king bed is nice the mattress is firm & pillows soft. the staff very friendly they off complimentary breakfast buffet 6:30-10am every morning. Highly recommend this hotel. read more

We stayed in a fire-spa suite room recently. Let me preface what I'm going to say by saying that the Yankee Inn is an affordable and clean place to stay in the area. I have stayed there before and was happy with my experience. Well this time I have some legitimate complaints. This hotel is on very busy Rt. 7. I don't know what possessed them to put their most expensive room class at the very far end of the secondary building, basically butt-up to the highway; but that's the room we got. Not only did we listen to the highway all day and night, but there were people cutting through the grassy area outside the room on foot because there are no sidewalks on that part of Rt. 7. There was no heat in the room. I guess we were supposed to compensate by using the fireplace? It cost us over $100 at the Stop & Shop up the street for enough wood to keep the room warm enough. In addition to having no heat, there is a hole in the wall of the room to accommodate the air conditioner. It's basically like having the window open a crack through the entire winter, because you can see right outside through the edges of the air conditioner. So in addition to the fact that we had no heat, we also had the equivalent of a window cracked. They gave us $70 off our room total to compensate for the heat, but if they want to re-brand as a Bed and Breakfast, they need to ensure that the most expensive rooms on the property are not just a dumpy motel room by the side of the road with no heat. As if that wasn't enough, they did not clean the walkway to our room during a snow/ice storm at all - it became an ice ramp. Not only do they not clean it off or put any salt down, they also didn't leave any salt for us to put down. We shouldn't have to ask for a room away from the busy highway, with heat, or beg them to keep our walkway safe so we can enter and exit our room without breaking our necks. For $200 a night, every guest expects heat in the room, for the maintenance people on the property to clean the walks, and to not have to listen to the highway 10 feet from their head. I checked the rates for the Hilton Garden Inn down the street, and you can definitely get a king room for $150 a night. That hotel has the advantage of not being directly on the side of the road. The Hampton Inn is slightly cheaper than the Hilton. If you're expecting more than a side of the highway motel, I suggest you book your stay at either of these places. Because the room was located in a different building than the main building, if we wanted to use the pool or go to breakfast we had to walk across the parking lot in the cold. I looked forward to using the pool at this facility but in winter it's not practical to walk or even drive across the parking lot to the main building in your swimming clothes. This is a good option if you're looking for a slight upgrade from the quintessential motel-by-the-road; but if you want more, stay at the Hilton or Hampton Inn. The bed and room had the potential to be nice; but only if there's working heat. Also the jacuzzi tub jets were brown from lack of cleaning. One night they spit out someone else's hair into our bath. I recommend the hotel invest in a product called "Oh Yuck" to clean out the inside of the jacuzzi jets, and a good scrub brush to clean the outside of the jets. I know it's hard to get into a tub and scrub the Jets with a scrub brush, but it is truly necessary in room 102. They should be white, not brown. I usually stay at the Hampton Inn because they meet my standards, I made an exception for this trip. read more

Great stay. We just got in our car in CT for a much needed few Days away, and drove wherever the road took us. We ended up in Pittsfield MA and found this inn online. The price was great, comfy room, everything was clean. We didn't know there was a jacuzzi and heated salt water pool so at that advice of the desk clerk we ran next door and got swimsuits at Kohls! We had a nice dinner at 51 Park and ended up booking a second night. Then after a day of exploring the area up to and including Bennington VT we headed back early on day 2 to use the pool again! Also free hot breakfast was great, hot waffles, scrambled eggs, English muffins, sausage, juices, danish, cereals, yogurt and various tea and coffee options. read more

I grew up in the Berkshires but relocated many years ago with my career. I'm brought back several times each year however, whether it be for family events or simply enjoying the culture and the beauty the Berkshires have to offer and the Yankee Inn has always been my place of choice. The staff is so consistently professional and courteous and the rooms spotlessly well kept. Breakfast is superb as well. Always makes me feel that I'm "right at home!" read more

We wanted a clean and comfortable place to stay while visiting Tanglewood, and everything seemed so overpriced. We opted for the Yankee Inn because it seemed reasonable. I was pleasantly surprised. The staff were uniformly pleasant and helpful, the room (we had an "inside" room) was large and very clean, and the beds were comfortable. It was very quiet. The bathroom was in good shape and had been recently redone. There was a good shower with plenty of hot water. Breakfast was included and was perfectly acceptable. The hotel is an older property, so it feels a bit old fashioned, but in a good way. This is not a "5 star" hotel, but it deserves its 5 stars here for delivering a high quality experience for a reasonable price. I would stay here again. read more

Our welcome after day of traveling by Teresa at the front reception was very encouraging. She was so clear, helpful and gracious to both my wife and I. The room is the best on our itinerary so far. Love the tub, canopy bed and chairs. Also really liked the small fridge with a separate freezer. The grounds and outside seating were enjoyable. Thank you YI and Teresa for your hospitality. read more

Pretty horrible experience. The air conditioner in the room was unbearable. Very uncomfortable bed and sheets.

I was kinda scared to check in here. But it was the one of the only somehwat decent places with availability for the weekend. The whole drive up motel thing I haven't done in a long time and the reviews of the musty/moldy odor scared me. So I walked in like a nut with my huge air cleaner. I was pleasantly surprised with the great air uality in the small room. We opened the large windows... It had hardwood floors, so no yucky carpet. It was great for one night. The guy at check-in desk was super nice. The pool was clean and great and we were surrounded by the most lovely older guests and our kid had the pool to himself the entire Saturday. Amazing. The only complaint would be the fitness center... Really bad air in there..musty. Old machines, but they did the job. Good options for breakfast -- as of early July. All good for one night...especially for the price. read more

I have an upcoming stay booked and I called to ask a question about the room I'll be getting. Kaitlyn was very helpful with providing me with the information I needed and let me know what I needed to do if I wanted to modify my reservation at all. First impressions go a long way and that was a very good one! read more

Ok. Very poor toilet tissue and facial tissues. Desk chair broke when I sat in it. Good water pressure, clean room, comfortable bed, pillows not great but ok. Vending machines do not accept credit cards. The price was good, go next door to Price Chopper to buy some snacks and TP. read more

I give 5 stars because of the outstanding customer service. Teresa is awesome, very friendly and makes sure you have everything you need! The pool is nice and heated. You also have a great view of a pond and the mountains from your patio or balcony! You are also close to the Lee Premium outlets. Thank you Teresa for the awesome customer service. I have stayed at this hotel twice! read more

Came to town for a family event. The hotel is very old and smells musty. We were charged over $300 per night for a standard king room in the main building. The room: 1 Star! Smelled musty and sour. Dank and dingy. The room had cold moisture that made everything feel damp. Cleanliness was average. The toilet was loose and would move when you sat on it. The staff: 4 Star! Very friendly and accommodating. Location: 3 Star! Not much to do or see in this part of the area but was close enough to our events. I would not recommend this hotel. They were ridiculously overpriced and we could have stayed at a 4 Star hotel at this price. The online pictures are misleading. Totally disappointed. read more

Beware!!! Great pics but smells so bad you can't sleep. Fire-spa suite smelled like mold, had to be moved to another fire-spa room that was cramped, dark, smelly, and had cobwebs. Definitely a motel. Stay away if you want to breathe. Yankee inn deletes reviews they don't like!!!! read more

Stayed over Saturday evening - Sunday afternoon arrived home to CT to realize that I had left my Tiffany & Co bracelet and a ring in the room. I called the hotel as soon as I realized and spoke with Mary who didn't seem too concerned and said she would need to call me back. She did call back and stated that maybe the housekeeper had found it, left it on her cart and forgot about it. I haven't heard anything since. :( read more

It's a solid three stars, but not quite a four. It's a standard motel, think Days Inn, Best Western, etc. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. We were probably there for no more than 14 hours. It was a decent place to spend a single night when most places in the area required a two night minimum. The continental breakfast was better than expected, with Belgian waffles, hard boiled eggs, bagels, muffins, juices, cereals, fruits...you get the idea. My only complaint is that I had asked for a king-sized room with a view. We did get the king-sized bed, but no view. I will post a few pics that I took. They probably didn't want to waste the room with a view on someone only staying one night. I would stay here again if in the area. read more

The Yankee Inn...Well, where do I begin? When we arrived, I thought I was pulling up to Motel 6. Very decayed and old. The grass was all torn up and bird poop all over the exterior chairs. We got inside and met with Cameron. Nice guy and very helpful. Rooms were okay. Television did not function very well and operated slowly. Beds were comfortable. The showers were very weak. I felt dirtier when I got out. Water pressure felt like a drip system in my backyard. The vending machine was broken for half of my stay and they don't sell any other food. The bar was almost laughable. The bartender was so dull. Bartenders are supposed to be energetic and uplifting. This women put me to sleep. The pool had floating bandaids. HUGE TURN OFF. I would not be surprised if the jacuzzi was entirely made of chlorine. Breakfast was sub par. The service was fine. Nothing great about this place. read more

Chose this inn based on reviews and price. Very satisfied with three night stay! The positives are very quiet room in the annex section and really comfortable bed. Breakfasts were included and although no cheese nor fancy smoked salmon, and only offering plain boring bagels along with English Muffins, the sausage, bacon (weekends), and scrambled eggs were very tasty. Those wishing waffles make there own. Variety of yummy muffins, pastries and yogurts and cereals. The bathroom was in very good shape, but the ample hot water took about a minute to arrive for my evening shower. TV flat screen large and modern. The staff all excellent. The two points that I would recommend to the owners: Increase the visibility of your street sign. I drove right by it the first time. Brighter signage with neon letters , or keep good lighting on it. The other so so first impression was the long muddy gray colored non slip mat that greets guests at the main entrance. Surely this can be replaced with a more welcoming pleasant green mat, to match the attractive lawns. The indoor and outdoor pools are nice and clean and heated but I never got around to swimming. Would definitely return! read more

(+) Clean, friendly, comfortable bed w extra pillows, free first set of logs for fireplace, DVD player, with walking distance to a great Chinese place (Panda House) and PriceChopper/RedBox and short drive to Lee Outlets. We didn't have time to check out pool and breakfast but loved the hot tub w jets. (-) Smelled a bit musty but we brought candles! The hot tub made an annoying noise but wasn't too too bad. Bathroom needs an upgrade (70's pink tile). Make sure to get your room AWAY from the road - it got noisy at times (We stayed in room 102). Ice machine is a walk as it's in the main building. All in all, a relaxing enjoyable stay! :) read more

Had an amazing stay at Yankee Inn this weekend! Upon arrival, staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, quickly getting us checked in. The suite itself was massive, with a beautiful fireplace, comfortable canopy king bed, and relaxing jacuzzi. The Inn also has continental breakfast in the mornings as well as a pool in the main building. With wonderful staff, amazing amenities, and private yet cozy suites, I highly recommend Yankee Inn to anyone looking to visit the area. read more

The Yankee Inn is a solid choice for a stay in Lenox. The motel is very clean and a great value. We found our king room to be plenty large for two and to have a very comfortable bed. They include a good breakfast which is better than most free breakfasts. The Inn has both indoor and outdoor swimming pools. The rates are very reasonable making the Yankee Inn a good choice to base your Berkshire adventures from. read more

The Yankee Inn is within driving distance to many attractions, such as the Clark Art Institute, and Tanglewood. The bed was comfortable, and a free breakfast is included. read more

The positive: The room was clean and comfortable, the facility is located away from the center of town and close to Pittsfield. The negative: We stayed in a Fireplace/Jacuzzi room. The fireplace did not work and the Jacuzzi had cracked tiles The room is outdated and in need of upgrades. The facility stated that breakfast included omelets made to order, but the selection did not include any hot items. The danish were stale and we ended up at local diners. The pictures show a nice lake in the rear and the lake turned out to be a little pond. Would recommend looking elsewhere. read more

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. The entire main building including our room smelled horrible, like mold and just old wet things that stayed locked up for too long. While the pictures are nice, looks can be deceiving our room was very outdated and looked like the only thing that had been updated in years was the bathroom. The tv only had 4 channels all of them being the news, the door that lead to the outside parking lot didn't lock properly! There were just soo many things wrong with this place. I hope whomever reads this heads my warning, because this Inn is not some place you want to waste any money on until all of these issues are resolved. I will say that we did get a full refund but that was a whole other ordeal that was just nonsensical. I don't know how anyone can walk in there and not just walk right back out due to the smell. read more

A great place to stay in the Berkshires: good location, good price, clean/quiet/comfortable rooms, and very welcoming and accommodating staff. read more

A A pricey stay that was not worth it, no maid service although it was requested. The staff was disinterested and unfriendly. Don't waste your money, read more

Positives: huge smart tv so you can log into your Netflix or amazon prime. Huge jetted tub. Clean. Negatives: the bed is so squeaky that every toss or turn will wake you... enjoy that romantic weekend because everyone will hear you. If you arrive after 10:00 pm from a day out, there will literally be nowhere to park. The staff is rude except for one man. It's noisy. Every morning a food truck arrives and leaves his truck running so depending on where your room is, he will keep you awake at 8:00 am. The free breakfast..... I'd rather go hungry.... old pastry and stale cereal. Pass. The maid will make your bed but won't clean. You will never get another clean glass so you have to wash it in your bathroom sink..... gross My top covers got a little dirty after a day out due to some mud and I also did spill a drink watching tv (my fault) but it that cover was not washed in the 4 days I was there. Just stay at a resort. This is just a nicer roadside inn. read more

After a much needed vacation my bf and I were looking forward to our 3 night stay away from our life stresses. We booked the nicest room with a whirlpool tub. There was a rainstorm that hit on our way to Mass. When we arrived at the complex the power was out. You'd figure a big place like that would have a generator system. So we had no hot water, couldn't use the pool facilities/jacuzzi. Couldn't even microwave food or make coffee. It was a bummer since we had paid a lot of money only to be in pitch dark all night. Fast forward after I'm back home, I called to see if I could get some sort of comp for that one night. The guy on the phone was incredibly unsympathetic and told me flatly; "They're never gonna comp you. It's never gonna happen. It was out of our hands." I work at a hotel /spa and this sort of thing would never happen with our guests. There are many ways to comp guests. A discount on our next visit would have been appreciated if they couldn't comp that first night. Nope. So now a place we were planning on revisiting on our next little vacation is forever off my list. This is a good lesson for businesses on how even a small compromise could have had us being longtime returning guests but now I'm totally put off to the place. Weigh the losses Yankee Inn! read more

This was one of the worst hotel experiences of my life. Wait - it's not a hotel, it's a motel ... from the 1940s that has not been updated. The furniture is mismatched, too big for the very small room. The bathrooms are teeny tiny with thin towels. THE WORST part about the room was the dampness. Everything was damp--your socks get wet if you walk across the carpet--damp. Sheets were thin. Really this is not like kitsch old school -- it is just an old motel that has not been upgraded in generations. We had to leave at midnight - it was too difficult to breathe because of the dampness -- and we are not wimps or snobs about things. read more

From the street it looks like it might be a slightly more upscale version of a no-tell motel. However, I must say I was quite pleasantly surprised after a one night stay there. We'd originally booked a room at the hotel next door who ended up being in an oversold situation. As a result, we agreed to be rebooked at the Yankee Inn next door in a nice room (mini-suite) at a lower price than we would have paid at the Hampton. The room itself was pretty nice. It had a working fireplace (which we didn't use due to it being summer), a king size canopy bed and a jacuzzi bath. The TV was just your typical standard definition with 50 some odd basic channels, and everything else about the room was pretty much what you'd expect - coffeemaker, good sized bathroom, with typical amenities, etc... The only complaint - the air conditioner was an old window unit that could use an upgrade. Didn't seem to work too well. But, the bed was comfortable and we slept well, which is all you can ask of a decent hotel. Nice and quiet, too. Good value for the price paid. While it's certainly not the definition of luxury, I think we definitely got more than we bargained for. read more

My fiancé and I stayed here for 3 nights/4 days this past weekend and could not stop gushing over how friendly, accommodating, and helpful all the staff were during our stay. We had a slight problem the first night, and they so graciously assisted us the following morning by getting us into an upgraded room (without any charge) and then continuously checked on how we were enjoying the new room. Incredibly kind people...truly made our stay in the Berkshires so comfortable and nice. Will definitely stay again! read more

I'd have to agree with other Yelper sentiments in that this modern, streamlined "inn" is little more than a renovated bargain hotel. The official biz website is a bit of a bamboozle as the virtual image conveyed is more of a rustic, backwoods B&B. It ain't. This said, and initial "fool me once" suckeritude aside, Yankee Inn is a clean, conditioned option for a one or two night stay in Lenox. Outdoor pool closed for the season? There's a heated indoor jobby, perfect for working your dolphin kick mid-January. Stuffed on weird brunch buffets from Dakota? Eat a continental fo' free. Craving Fritos? Stocked vending machines in the lobby. But what bump Yankee Inn up from motel mediocrity are the rear rooms which open up to balconied views of a small lake, wooded vistas and the nearby mountainous terrain. Couple that with a gas fireplace, reasonable amenities and a weekend rate of $110/night, and you've got a more-than-decent place to rest your weary head. Or bang a hooker*. Whichever. *Hooker banging not condoned. read more

My friends and I recently stayed here during a weekend getaway to the berkshires! I think we made the best decision- the Yankee looked like one of the nicest, more reasonably priced hotels in the area and it isn't too too far from downtown Lenox. The rooms were very clean and spacious! We also enjoyed the pool and jacuzzi! The indoor area wasn't too big and I could see it getting crowded but I think we went at just the right time. They also offered complementary breakfast which was your standard free hotel breakfast with the exception of an omelet bar which I totally appreciated. There was something in my room that made me sneeze a lot... not sure what that was, but my friends were all fine and I'm allergic to the entire world, so I can't really complain about that. Would definitely stay here again! read more

For the money, we couldn't have asked for better. It was clean, comfortable, the people were friendly, and it felt Covid safe. We got the indoor pool for an hour each day (with reservations) to ourselves and to go muffins, fruit and juice in the mornings. Convenient dr8ve to Bousquet and Jiminy. Arizona Pizza down the road is awesome too. I would gladly stay here again. read more

It's our last night tonight, and we have had the best time over the weekend! The staff is very friendly, the hotel has a indoor and outdoor pool, a fitness room with a treadmill, an elliptical, and a small resistance bench. I don't know about all the rooms but mine has a private deck and a fireplace. If your in the mood for a cocktail they also have a small bar with the basics opposite the front desk. Would definitely come back again! also, a side note...if your room has a fireplace DO NOT leave it on for the night...as romantic as it is it gets VERY hot read more

Reasonable rate and convenient location. The inside of our room was very spacious. Rooms were very clean. Bathroom is a little small in our particular room (Firespa). Check in and check out was a breeze and there is plenty of parking. We did not take advantage of the breakfast but walked through the area and saw they had a continental breakfast with an omelet station. This is a reasonably priced hotel for families. If possible ask for a second floor room since we could hear people walking above us as they were checking in. read more

The main thing you need to know is that for a motel, it's pretty good. But the website makes it sound like an "inn," which it isn't. It's right on a business stretch of the main highway (near Burger King), and it's not in a picturesque area. There's no quaint porch to sit on. That said, as a motel, it does pretty well. It's clean, the people are nice, and the breakfast (for a motel breakfast) is fine. The coffee is actually above-average, which was a nice surprise. But the "make your own waffle" was underwhelming. And breakfast goes from 6-10, so you can eat early or eat later. The staff at the front desk was lovely. The room was fine. Very clean, nice bed linens and pillows, comfortable beds, nice soap/shampoo. The TV was OK, but not great. The service they have is very basic (no pay-per-view movies or anything), and there isn't much of a guide to see what's on. Our room also seemed a little dark -- we could have used better lighting. They do have an indoor and outdoor pool (I used the one indoors, and it was lovely). My sister used the hot tub and said that was great. And I got a massage at the spa next door, which was excellent. I might go back if I were looking for a family place, but again -- a rustic country inn it's not, and that was a little disappointing. read more

If you're looking for a nice, clean room during a weekend of activities like skiing (vs a bed & breakfast), Yankee Inn is a solid choice. It offers rooms with fireplaces (gas or wood), as well as whirlpool bathtubs. Some of the rooms on the upper level of the main tower have pretty views too. A swimming pool and gym are additional benefits of your stay. Also, the main road has many stores and restaurants. Call ahead, and specify what you're looking for-- someone will help you with options. Indeed, what makes this place special, is the people. I was pleasantly surprised by their friendliness, enthusiasm, pride in the facilities, and need to make us happy. Specifically, I have to mention Colin-- he did everything in his power, taking extra steps, to make sure we were satisfied. read more

On the good side, our room was very clean and the decor was updated. The bed was comfortable, and the location was convenient to several towns in the area. Also, while most places would not accommodate us for only 2 nights during a holiday weekend (most had 3-night minimum), this wasn't an issue at the Yankee Inn, which is one of the main reasons we ended up here. On the down side, this was basically just a glorified motel along the highway on the outskirts of Lenox. We had a basic king room in the main building and it was quite pricey, though maybe somewhat comparable to other lodging facilities in the area (not sure if it would hold up on amenities, though). Also, the lack of wireless in the room was kind of a bummer -- made it more difficult to figure out our plans each day as we could only use the 3G on our phones. read more
