The retro decor was charming. Having our dog with us was wonderful. Negatives: website says "continental breakfast" - the lobby/office was not opened from when we arrived on Friday until we checked out on Sunday - no staff, no coffee and no coffee makers in the rooms. Also our microwave didn't work.

Use caution when booking
This was a "self service" property, i didn't know there was such a thing before this trip, so now I know! You get the door code via email or text shortly before the stay. There is no one on the property for quick questions, help, etc. This motel is affiliated with another similar named property just up the road, so probably owned by them. Anyway, besides the weird atmosphere of an unattended motel, the main issues we had were... the king bed had only 3 pillows, not enough, there was no extra blanket, nothing, and there was no coffee machine, which we've come to expect with the absolutely cheapest properties, especially with one like this that was out on the highway by itself, so nothing close by. We have definitely spent much less for much more in the past, and in fact, on this latest trip through New England, we got more for less. However, I would recommend caution when you are booking... we had no indication that this property was not staffed. We stayed at one other "self service" motel also, but it was somewhat better (I still would not stay there again - paid too much for too little).

Very quiet setting in a beautiful area. Room had a musty closed up smell to it but it wasn't to overpowering. Very cute little place to stay. Traveled with my friend and we definitely stay here again.

Quite honestly, I was quite disappointed with my stay. There was a fake fingernail on the bathroom floor & the shower was impossible to keep water from the surrounding bathroom floor. There were no staff anywhere on the premises but instead up the road at the Red Lion Inn in Stockbridge & having anyone answer the phone was sketchy. I would have appreciated a way to make coffee in the room as it was a drive into town & nothing was open. I would not stay again & am disappointed at the Red Lion Inn.

We were just a few days before we arrived that the Briarcligf hotel was just taken over by the Red Lion Inn. The lobby was shuttered with no staff on site so we had to drive to the Inn for breakfast...parking there was a challenge. Room was clean but shower had minimal glass wall enclosure so many towels were needed to mop up the floor. Return to the motel from the town is a nerve-wracking left turn...a blinking light would surely help. The Little Lion is a work in progress.
