Charming hotel up on a hill with a view of downtown Lenox and the hills beyond. Spent a long weekend in the Hawthorne suite. A nicely designed space for laying about and reading books. Super nice bathroom with a skylight over a clawfoot tub, even on a cold winter day it was wonderful to take a steaming hot bath with natural light flooding in from above. The staff at the hotel were fantastic too. I showed up to check in, realizing just then that I had inadvertently booked the room for the following week. The concierge didn’t even blink, but within a matter of minutes had sorted out my reservation with no additional charges. I would be back at this property in a heartbeat. One additional note, the hotel is just a stones throw from the Center of Lennox and an easy walk or a very quick drive from a great pizzeria on Main Street, and the downtown shops, cafés, and restaurants off Housatonic Street.

Beautiful old home, so much warmth. Large room. Nice snacks and access is easy to kitchen and common room. We walked to dinner to Frankie’s, and it was somewhat dangerous walking down the front stairs and steps with no lighting at the Dewey. Otherwise we loved our stay!

The Whitlock is right in town, loving eating area and sitting and bar downstairs. Rooms are simple and open and spacious- we had a suite. Bathroom was great lots of light and windows. The Dewey was absolutely sublime- so period - several cozy living rooms all the sitting, books, games and nic knacks to admire. Convenient kitchen with yummy breakfast nibbles.

Overall pretty disappointed. We went out of our way to book a room with a fireplace only to find out it was not operational yet. The carriage house also did not have working wifi, the entrance smelled moldy, and the hand soap for the bathroom was empty. No big deal, but I asked on two separate occasions to get a refill and was told it would be taken care of - had to go out and get our own. You also have to check in at another location which was a little strange but totally doable. Overall feels like a leftover bed and breakfast that is going by the wayside.

On the edge of downtown Lennox, you are close to many attractions. The Dewey has a wonderful and large fireplace room for sitting and reading. Nice porch too. The room was cozy, bordering on small, but very comfortable and clean. Recommended.

The only issue was that the King bedroom did have a private bath, but it was across the hall accessed with a separate key. It was a bit inconvenient.

Not worth the cost. Old. Small bugs. Smelly.

My room was very small, and the whole place smelled very old. I understand that it is an old and very historic place but I did not expect it to smell that way. I was in a tiny room in the carriage house. They probably should have cleaned a little bit better as the bathroom had little bugs flying around, and a big spider and web. The dresser I would put my clothes into smelled like my grandmother’s mothball infested trunk. I was disappointed that it was just a very basic continental breakfast, and nothing was even homemade. It was impossible to find anybody on site who worked there. It was also very loud in the carriage house with the other room occupied. I would be fine with this if the cost was inexpensive. However, the cost was more than you would pay for a five-star hotel per night. Overall, I really wanted to like this place . Unfortunately, I did not.

The Dewey Hotel takes you back in time. It is quaint and has a personal feel. The room we stayed in was large and comfortable. I give it five stars which it deserves but there are a couple of shortcomings. The stairway is very steep so if you are not capable of climbing stairs safely I would not stay here. The hot water did not last long during the showers. And the morning coffee could be much better.

Lovely old house, renovated for comfort but still with a grand feel. Terrific staff, very helpful and friendly! The breakfast is more of a “grab n go” coffee, yogurt, and muffin table, but what a great front porch to sit and enjoy it! And there are great restaurants within walking distance if you want a bigger meal. Extra special: right across the street is a gorgeous public park (Kennedy?) which was an unexpected delight for a morning walk. Big forest, expansive vistas, quiet paths-

Not worth the money for a Saturday stay

The Saturday night rate was ridiculously high. I thought at least a hot, prepared breakfast would be included, but it was only continental. Save your money and go to a chain.
