Was in a great location and let us bring our dog. Convenient to everything we needed. Remote check for in so you do not see staff, but met all of our needs.

This little gem was clean and very conveniently located between Great Barrington and Stockbridge. Ample parking right in front of the room. Did not meet any staff nor use any amenities ( none at hotel but apparently able to use amenities at the Red Lion). Clearly an older property but clean and comfortable

We loved none formal do it yourself option. Room was small but had 2 comfortable beds. We loved the fact that we could use Red Lion Inn amenities because The Little Lion doesnāt have much.
The Little Lion has separate room that was welcoming and can be used if people want to have breakfast or lunch to go. Room has 2 sitting areas like dining room and family room with big fridge.
Bathroom window needs screen, otherwise when you open for ventilation, many things can crawl inside.
Overall we enjoyed it.
Super comfortable. Clean, not fussy, easy check-in/check out. Close to Tanglewood ! Breakfast at nearby Red Lion with a cup of coffee on the porch was excellent!
Itās in a beautiful location.
Very clean.
We never saw any staff because our room # and key code was sent to us. Went very smoothly.
We really enjoyed our stay here. Only negative is some of the furniture is getting a little worn on top, and tv is a little small for the room, but we will definitely go back when we are in the area.
Clean and comfortable room for reasonable price. Central area/lobby is nice place to sit and read, relax, and/or eat breakfast (coffee provided). Also red Adirondack chairs up on hill behind rooms and small tables/chairs in front of some rooms. Can use the outdoor pool and whirl pool a few miles away at the Red Lion Inn, which is desirable feature on summer days.
A few negatives. While the building and rooms are set back from the road, itās located off a busy road that goes between Stockbridge and Great Barrington. You will hear the cars during the day. Itās also not what I would consider an āInnā as itās really a motel. It used to be the Briarcliff Motel before the Red Lion Inn purchased it. Any questions, requests, or comments need to contact them as the Little Lion didnāt have any full time staff and no one at front desk in the lobby when we stayed. We received text with code for room door.
Unfortunately the power went out around 10 pm and never came back on by the time we left at 7 am. We tried reaching out to staff at the Red Lion, the parent company of the Little Lion. No one picked up the phone nor responded to our message. We had no power, no lights, no water, no A/C. Other than not being able to get a hold of staff our stay was very good.
A nice safe and quiet place to stay. Park right in front of your door. My dog loved the large grass area. The room was large and the beds very comfortable. The heat was on when we arrived which was great . It was cold and snowy that day. I loved having the self check-in and check out. We plan on going back the next time we are in the area.
We greatly appreciate a pet friendly hotel with no extra pet fees! Hotel was dated but had charm and we loved using the pool at the beautiful Red Lion.
