We had a wonderful wknd in Lenox. The Cornell Inn was very accommodating and everyone was extremely friendly, welcoming and helpful. We had emailed beforehand about dietary restrictions and they were helpful and gave great recommendations for places that could accommodate us. Their breakfasts are excellent and filling. That starts your day off so nicely. The rooms were comfortable and roomy. Although the room was a bit dated -it was cozy and suited us perfectly. It was a great location since it was a quick drive to Lenox shops & restaurants, although we did go to Lee for food as well. Many places to explore, museums , the Botanical Garden, etc. Although we got caught in a downpour when starting a hike, we managed to get a nice one in, later once it stopped, by walking up to Kennedy Park, behind the Inn. We had a good hike there. Perfect!! Well worth the visit to Cornell Inn! Will definitely will have a return visit in our future!

An Inn for All Seasons

This is a charming inn at the edge of Lenox downtown which is a great vallue for off season pre Tanglewood! My friend and I each had separate individually decorated queen rooms with hot shower; we had a large cooked-on-the spot breakfast which included very fresh fruit bowl; restaurant and museum recommendations were generous and accurate; there are three public rooms which are delightful for "hangout" time, and summer will also feature large porch and ground level deck.

I’ll have to try elsewhere next time…

Very disappointed with our stay. We’ve loved this place in the past many times. Corners and regularly advertised and nice benefits were reduced and even cancelled once we arrived. No free bottle of wine, for example and the breakfast sizes, portions and options have all been reduced, if not eliminated.

The weather played a part - our room was accessed by a set of outside stairs, and the weather was cold enough to make them a bit perilous. The staff did its best to attend to it.

Our stay at the Cornell Inn was absolutely perfect. 10 minute walk to the town center and so many great dining options nearby. The Inn itself has a charming, cozy atmosphere and our room was lush. The complimentary drinks and amenities were also wonderful. I would highly recommend this lovely little spot in Lenox.

The Cornell Inn is beautiful. It's comfortable, casual and delightful to just sit and read or spend some time with a jigsaw puzzle. The complimentary breakfast, snacks and beverages are excellent. The staff is wonderful! Very helpful and thoughtful. We stayed in a kitchenette suite - beautifully decorated and spacious. We enjoyed the fireplace, a full kitchen, and eating dinner at the lovely table for 2.
