Hotel was clean and facilities were maintained. Best part was that you are permitted to use amenities at The Red Lion Inn down the road.

Q

This is a charming older motel that is quiet with spacious grounds. There was no check in- they just gave me my room number and my code. I personally loved that. It was during a terrible heat wave and the small AC window unit struggled to cool the room, but eventually did. There didn’t seem to be coffee anywhere on the grounds so I would have loved a coffeemaker in my room.

Properly marketed and described. No particular amenities (aside from WiFi), but lots was apparently available at the mother ship, in town. But I wasn’t there for amenities, and I expect most guests weren’t. Clean room, easy parking, my dog was welcome. Busy road out front, but set back far night that I never heard any noise from there. Good place, would recommend

We were not impressed with The Little Lion Inn. It was definitely lacking in amenities. There was no ice or vending machine with beverages for purchase. There was no coffee machine in the room and no morning coffee available on the premises. The pool is not on the premises, but is 3 miles down the road at a partner inn ( The Red Lion Inn).We were staying just one night and that was plenty. We have stayed at The Red Lion Inn and it was lovely. They really missed the mark on this facility.

A adjunct to the famed and expensive Red Lion Inn, this staff-free all digital check in facility offered a clean quiet overnight rest. Checked all the boxes for what we wanted. Good value for money.

The property did not communicate with me about the unit and entry code until 1:30 pm for a 3 pm check-in. The property was similar to a 1970's Motel 6 which may be the "norm" for this area. While adequate, it was far from impressive or even "reflective of the cost."

Little Lion Inn provides very basic services in very clean facilities with a welcome atmosphere at the Red Lion Inn. a few miles up the road. There is nothing very remarkable about the property — but the Berkshires provide plenty of opportunities for beauty, well designed gardens, places to walk and relax.

I had a great time at this motel. It was close to hiking trails that I was doing. It was extremely dog friendly. A lastly, it was a close drive to all the good shopping and in town.
