Cheshire 3 Stars Hotels

"Looks way better in person than the pictures. Still old and dated but not as spooky as the pictures seem. They don't tell you this at all, just expect you to read a packet - there is no housekeeping, no nothing. You are supposed to take your own trash out. They also do not really clean the room beforehand because there was trash leftover from the previous person. It's basically a rental home. Maybe I missed a description but do not expect this to be your standard hotel type setting. Also, request a second floor room. We had someone above us who sounded like they were wearing their ski boots, thumping around the entire room non stop, through midnight and then restarted again at 6am. The hotel did not do any thing. We got zero sleep our last night and this entire experience has left a sour taste in my mouth. Outside of the convenience of the location, there is zero reason to really want to come back... you can't beat the price but don't expect anything but the basics. "

"Very comfortable "

"The staff at the front desk was welcoming, the room was very nice. We enjoyed our stay. HOWEVER - on the day we were to arrive there was a major blizzard. There was no safe way to drive from the Boston area to Pittsfield. I called the hotel 2 days before to say that we would be arriving a day after our reservation. We had purchased cancellation insurance. When we arrived a day late I asked the front desk about a refund. They told me to call Expedia, which I did. Expedia tried to reach the hotel and was unable to do so. They referred me back to the the manager. It is now a week later and after several calls to the hotel, the manager never returned my call. I find this unacceptable."

"For the price, is a good property. Convenient for our purposes. While not up to more modern standards, it is reasonably furnished. Location is a bit noisy due to traffic and trains. Limited decent food options."

"Fair. Pool was closed. Everything under construction. Poor location."

"Room was spotless, staff was very kind!"

"I had not visited the Ponds for 30 years. It has not gracefully aged. Condo unit has not been updated since it was built in the early 70s and it shows. Drafty and slightly damaged doors, slow drains in the bathrooms, furniture and rugs that show damage and age, and a clubhouse in need of updating. Front desk staff not very friendly or useful, odd because they don’t have a lot of foot traffic this time of the season. There are other similar facilities in the area that might be worth exploring versus this tired old place."
