Gorgeous place with clean room and excellent areas to have breakfast, read, and relax. Friendly staff and easy checking process. Would stay here again!
Our stay at The Dewey was fantastic! Everything was easy and efficient, and it was so close to both town and Tanglewood. The bed was comfortable, the water pressure in the 3rd floor shower was fantastic, and the room was well-appointed without being overly crowded. I also have to commend the owners for their attention to detail - after many, many years of traveling all over the world, this was the first time I have ever stayed in a hotel where the hairdryer came with a diffuser attachment. (What a treat for my curls!) We would definitely stay here again.
Old world charm building with high ceilings and period features. Comfortable bed with nice bedding. En suite bathroom could use some love. One lightbulb was out and the toiletries weren’t fully stocked. Some visible mildew. Overall, a pleasant experience for our overnight stay.
Had a wonderful stay! All the staff was very friendly and gave us good recommendations. Particularly enjoyed the breakfast room and cozy atmosphere. Will definitely go back
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 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.
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-
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 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.
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.
Extremely comfortable stay at The Dewey. Bed was amazing! The history of this beautifully place is felt all around. Hope to stay again
