Management very courteous and communicates well via text. Property is reasonaly comfortable and a little better than just ok. Grounds could be a bit cleaner landscaping wise and needed a good power wash. I didnt appreciate being misled by being shown the front house as the property where I would be staying and then placed in a different and detached dwelling behind the main house. Overall not a bad place though.

We are sorry you did not have the best possible experience at our inn. If you had booked directly with us rather than a 3rd party, it might have been more obvious that we have 3 buildings on the property and that choice of rooms/location is up to you. We had plenty of open rooms in the main house to move you to, had you expressed this concern at check-in. Concerning landscaping and power washing.... this is a transition moment from winter to Spring and our landscaping and cleaning is currently a work in progress.

My husband and I stayed at the Hampton Terrace Inn for 2 nights this September. We were looking for safe place to stay during these unfortunate COVID-19 pandemic times, with the option of separate lodging. We therefore stayed in one of the cottage suites which we found to be large, comfortable, quiet, and well-appointed. Our cottage had a gas fireplace, which was very lovely and warmed up the room rather quickly. Stan the owner, was an excellent host. He was very proactive in communicating with us after our booking and checking in with us constantly to ensure that we were comfortable or to see if we needed anything. We were also fortunate enjoy the sumptuous breakfast, offered at the Inn which was truly fabulous. The Inn also offers a bar, where you can enjoy cordials and has a Keurig machine for making coffee or tea in the room. The Inn is centrally located, walking distance to all the good restaurants in Lenox: Alta, Brava and Zinc! There is ample and convenient parking within the compound. We were very happy and content during our stay and highly recommend the place for a wonderful, low-key and comfortable stay.

Lovely inn. Cozy bed, great shower. Nice perks-refrigerated water bottles available at all times as well as cordials inside the main house. Though at times you could hear people walking or talking in the hallway, when it was important (late night) the house was nice and quiet. Excellent location. Easy walk to downtown Lenox.

Pros: 1. the house is located walking distance to restaurants 2. The house was clean 3. The owner is very attentive and replied to my emails immediately 4. They provide breakfast Cons: 1 The pictures are from 10 years ago. Little or no maintenance has been done. The floor creak, the sink was rusted. We had a shock when we got there as the house does not look at all as the pictures specially after paying $712 for 2 nights. 2. The furniture is old. The bathroom curtain had a whole 3. The walls are paper thin, you can hear people walking and even snoring I would recommend Lenox, great town with lots of things to do.

Response from Stan on Nov 4, 2019
We are sorry your expectations were not met. Honestly, we did not see you after check-in, and you missed both mornings of breakfasts, so had you tried our breakfasts or interacted more with other guests, your score might have been higher. You stayed in an older room. The house is 120+ years old, so there will be creaking floors, etc. We DO have 11 rooms (of 14) which are more modern - so this review has more to do with the specifics of this room, and not the inn overall. We will look at what we can control - like the shower curtain. And thanks for saying everything is clean. I think we do a really good job with the issues we can control.

Loved everything about the Hampton Terrace Inn...this is my second time staying here. The inn itself is comfortable and homey, the location is easy access to Tanglewood and many area attractions, we loved being able to come back from touring for a dip in the pool (open 24/7), our room was terrific, breakfasts were delicious and there was lots of choice, Stan was our genial host and he made sure that everything was to our satisfaction. I’ll be staying at this inn when I go back to the Berkshires again.

This is a lovely, classic Gilded Era Inn in the best location for staying in Lenox. We thoroughly enjoyed reading on the side porch, swimming in the pool, and enjoying the prepared breakfasts. While there are a few creaks in the floors, the bed was extremely comfortable and the room, quite large. The Hampton Terrace is within walking distance to all Lenox’s best restaurants.

Had a wonderful stay in June. The inn is a short walk to town and short drive to great hiking trails. The inn and our room was very clean, and well maintained. We truly enjoyed a delicious home cooked breakfast in a beautiful dining area. The host/owner was very welcoming and accommodating. Highly recommend!

The breakfast was amazing! Stan, the innkeeper sent a list of restaurants and attractions to choose from prior to my arrival, which was very helpful. And the working fireplace in the room added a special touch to my stay. The holiday decorations were beautiful and the atmosphere of the inn was warm and inviting. I felt right at home.

Lovely bed and breakfast inn close to downtown Lenox and Tanglewood. Beautiful furnishings (especially a fantastic antique doll collection on the second floor of the main house). Breakfast is included, home made and delicious. If a B & B experience is to your liking, you will love this inn! The owner is friendly and very hands on. House and grounds immaculate, our rooms comfortable.

I chose Hampton Terrace to be close to a funeral in Pittsfield but also be close to lovely Lenox. It had been highly reviewed and it matched the reviews. I travel a great deal and cannot abide a sub-standard lodging.

Hampton Terrace Inn
Receptionist was excellent. Did a tour of the place and let us check in 1 hour early. Excellent breakfast. Very close to restaurants. Close to museums (less than 10 miles). Nice bath tub and swimming pool. Building is very old and you can hear squeaky sounds and cars buzzing through roads during night time. This was my first time to Berkshires and we stayed for only one day. Not sure about other locations being that old so I cannot comment. Anyway that is secondary for people who spend lot of time outside.

It was fair. The accommodations were dated and the room was cramped. I felt it was very overpriced. Would not stay there again.
Response from Stan on Jan 26, 2017
Thank you for this feedback. You took our "mini-suite" which consists of two small bedrooms and a bath for the price of a single room. It should be expected that each bedroom would be small, and the photos bear that out. The home was built in 1897, and as updated as it is (our TripAdvisor score is 5/5 over 900 reviews), it is still an older house, compared to a new construction hotel. And had you checked rates you would find our inn is priced in the middle of the pack in Lenox. So although all reviews are legitimate and welcomed, a context must be placed over this review. And why "anonymous?"

I've never stayed at a bed and breakfast before, so I really have nothing to compare the Hampton Terrace to. But, that being said, I thought this place was amazing. Stan is an amazing host. This 120 year old home was in great shape and the rooms were lovely. I would highly recommend staying here!

The location was perfect for all striking points (Tangelwood, Jacobs Pillow etc). Hotel mattress poor, pool lovely, breakfast meet needs.
Response from General Manager on Aug 17, 2016
This is a positive review with a low score. We are glad this guest appreciated our location and pool. Mattresses, however, are a personal preference. We use Sealy Posturepedic Plush mattresses. Of course, we would not know if a mattress is worn, so we do rely on guest feedback. I asked the next two couples who stayed in this room their opinion about the mattress, and both liked it. One said they had commented to each other how comfortable it was. Therefore we have to conclude that this guest prefers a certain type of mattress, and we want to correct the impression that we do not stay on top of something important like mattress quality. Additionally, we have some bed boards available. If asked, I could have probably been able to help, and avoid this review.

Lovely Bed and Breakfast
Charming bed and breakfast in historic home. Close to town, with plenty of restaurants, and within an easy drive of all major attractions in the Berkshires. Enjoyed having a wood fireplace in our room. Owner went the extra mile to make sure guests were happy. Felt more personalized than a chain hotel and would most likely stay here again.

Good Location and Satisfactory Accomodations
This was a quick overnight stop on a two day trip. The B&B was well decorated and room size was fine. The window A/C kept the room very cool in 90 degree weather. We walked to dinner and to a theater performance. The bed was very comfortable and we slept longer than we expected. The breakfast was plain and tasty (scrambled eggs, ham, and grits, but limited in pastry, etc.) The room seemed in need of a little rehab though: it was hard to find a plug to charge my phone, the TV (which was old and small) did not work, the bathroom was "historic" but taking a shower in the claw foot tub was a challenge, while there was shampoo there was no conditioner. It worked fine for us, but would not want to stay in that room too many nights.
Response from Stan on May 12, 2016
We are sorry there were issues with this guest. Firstly, a lot of important points got positive checks: well decorated, room size, room cooling, walking distance to dinner and theater, comfortable bed.... If this guest only stayed one night, then he did not have a chance to see that our breakfast buffet changes daily. The room he stayed in has an extension cord next to a night table for phone charging. I am sorry he did not see that....and the shampoo here is a shampoo/conditioner combination. All tvs on the property have been upgraded to HD flat screens. The bathroom is still "historic." We chose to re-porcelin a beautiful, deep, antique claw-foot tub rather than replace it (which would have been cheaper). It also has a shower head, but claw-foot tubs have to have a surround shower curtain - and that certainly can cause a complication for someone who needs to hold on to something. For those who might find that an issue, we have 13 other rooms.
