I've driven by this hotel a few times over the years and the fiber glass horse in the parking lot has always grabbed my imagination.
When I was planning a 2 day stay in Lenox, they had a inexpensive rate via a third party site, and I made my reservation.
Arrival...
Initially, I was very disappointed by what I would describe as the VERY rustic look and feel of the room.
I felt better when I saw the bathroom was very clean and tidy.
That night, when I pulled the covers down, I noticed that the sheets were pristine and exceptionally crisp with the top folded over just so.
I have stayed at more than my fair share of hotels, and this has got to be one of the neatest bed sheet presentation I have ever seen.
The management appear to be a married couple. They are very nice.
By the end of day one, I had developed a curious affection for the place that totally transcended my initial impression. What appeared to be horrible, tacky and cheap, somehow became perfectly fine, and maybe almost charming.
I mentioned to an acquaintance that I had stayed at that hotel, she told me that she had some unusual experience there, 20 years ago or so, and has ever since held the hotel in fond regard.
The only warning I would add is that the police came both mornings I was there. I mentioned this to the manager, and he said that because of the hotel's low rates, the police have made it part of their daily routine to run the cars in the parking lot for warrants and registration issues. So if you haven't answered that jay walking ticket from 1994, you don't want to stay at this hotel.
