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.

My stay here was very pleasant. Booking was a breeze and I did like the fact they were easy to communicate with and checking in was so easy. Love the simplicity. Whenever I have to travel back to that town I will surely stay here again. In fact I will be next week.

Jack and Jane Fitzpatrick would be very upset if they had to stay in room 8. The rug over the carpet was bunched ib the middle which was very dangerous. Shower faucet caused us to get very wet when we had to turn it on. The floor also got wet because of a half glass permanent shower door. No coffee pot in room or on premises. Tiny television.

Perfect for a quick 2 night stay. Didn’t explore the property at all, but the beds were comfy enough and the room was quiet. Water in bathroom sink got dangerously hot. Didn’t use shower. No contact check in & check out was great.

I was staying overnight in the area, decided to check out this sale. I was pleasantly surprised. I don't usually like motel style places, but it was a very clean, cute location. Definitely will consider again.
