The Berkshires Magnuson Hotels & Suites

Stayed end of Tanglewood Season on a Saturday night, Booked a month ahead as area booked solid due to Tanglewood Music Center and other Berkshire Mt attractions. Prices are very high throughout the region during the summer months. Booked this 2 star as only needed one night, which is hard to book on a weekend, and expected something a little below standard BUT Pleasant Valley Hotel far exceeded our expectations! even of some 3 and 4 star motels in the area! While the room was small as expected, the room was spotless, the bathroom perfect condition, flat screen tv and free internet, and free breakfast cold foods except for toast, perfect location, easy access to Tanglewood Music Center. Our room was quiet and peaceful. l

We were pleased to find an affordable, clean, pleasant room near the Berkshire activities we enjoy. Because it was very hot, we enjoyed using the pool each day we were there. The availability of hot coffee each morning was a plus, and having a refrigerator in the room was valuable for our picnic planning.The airconditioner worked well, though it is a bit noisy. The TV worked well, too, and we took advantage of that late at night. Nearness to Pittsfield, Lenox and Lee are big plusses, and the moderate mid-week rates in July are welcome. We will return here next summer!

Location was on main road in ideal area, set far enough back it was quiet. Room was OK. Bed and towels were clean. Room was cool. It's an older building so nothing fancy. We wanted a place to sleep. Was inexpensive. Staff was friendly, but did not go out of the way. I like that we weren't bothered. Breakfast was cold cereal and bagels and danishes and coffee. Price was right. At the price we paid in off season, I was actually happy with the space. They are remodelings October 2016. New building, new space. So it will no doubt improve, and go up in price. Overall checking was easy and check out was easy. Perfect for what I was looking for.

A friend and I booked on Expedia based on price. It is the off-season (early September) and we were looking for low priced accommodations for 2 nights. Our intent was to find a place to stay that would satisfy our basic needs for showering and sleeping. We were not in the area for vacation, but we were there for a specific purpose; to see the Vincent Van Gogh exhibit at The Clark. I chose Green Valley because it was in Williamstown, the online photographs looked very nice, and the amenities included an outdoor inground swimming pool, which also looked very nice in the photos. The photos were obviously taken at a time when the motel was much younger. Overall, however, the motel was adequate for our purposes.
