    Nice place for the price. Very comfortable. Before we arrived they had already emailed with us about our dietary needs regarding breakfast, which was appreciated. Nice people, room was very clean - mattress and bedding looked brand new. Would stay again.

    Weekend

    April 24, 2013

    The Cornell is like a little bit of home away from home. The managers dogs in and around, with barking were a bit annoying. I would return to the Cornell. Good value for the price.

    Innkeeper Response
    Thank you for your review of our Inn. I'm glad your overall stay was enjoyable. I'm sorry Lance's dogs were a bit troublesome for you. I too am a dog lover, but excessive barking is not enjoyable for anyone. Since your stay I have talked to Lance about his dogs, whom are very nice. He now has both of them on leash at all times and they no longer will be entering and exiting his residence via the main staircase. We hope to see you back for another visit in the not too distant future.

    Pleasant stay in Lenox

    April 13, 2013

    The Cornell in is conveniently located in town and consists of several buildings. Room was well-appointed, comfortable and everything in the main house was well-kept. Breakfast was very nicely prepared and the caretaker offered to let us use the sitting areas in the inn as long as we needed. Our family stayed in the McDonald house, which has a suite large enough to accommodate a family of five.

    Innkeeper Response
    Thank you for such a wonderful review of our Inn. I'm glad you had an enjoyable stay both in the Berkshires and at the Inn itself. Lance is a thoughtful managaer and amazing chef, we are fortunate to have him as part of our team. I"m glad your room in the MacDonald House was able to meet your needs. We look forward to your next visit. Cheers, Nell McCaffery

    Excellent Value, Great Staff and Management

    April 11, 2013

    Excellent experience on an early Spring weekend at Cornell Inn. Service was excellent meeting special needs and requests quickly. Breakfast area was spacious and comfortable, food was satisfactory. Definitely an excellent value for the cost in the Lenox area. Recommend it highly

    Comfortable, inexpensive B & B

    April 10, 2013

    Clean, comfortable, nice breakfast, friendly staff. Buildings could use some sprucing up. It was appropriately priced.

    Innkeeper Response
    Thank-you for reviewing our Inn. We're glad you had a pleasant stay. Indeed, since we took over the Inn last September all three of the buildings are in need of a "face lift." We are working towards that goal. First we had to take care of some structural items and now we are tackling the exteriors of the buildings and the grounds. We hope you come back for another visit in the not too distant future. Cheers, Nell McCaffery
