What a delightful experience. Not a looker from the outside but wow on the inside! From the brownies and welcome drinks to the exceptionally designed rooms we were so happy we chose this inn. The breakfast may have been a highlight as well. Every single person we encountered was so helpful and kind. We will be back.
Many stairs, outside wall light shining into a door that blinds cannot close! Air conditioning not operative to the thermostat settings!

Lovely property with clean rooms. Limited seating and menu for morning breakfast and a lack of anyone seeming to be in charge of getting people in and out. I experienced a lack of hot water in the mornings both days I was there. Provided feedback to the property and never heard a word back. I did not feel this experience was worth the money I paid.
We had a wonderful wknd in Lenox. The Cornell Inn was very accommodating and everyone was extremely friendly, welcoming and helpful.
We had emailed beforehand about dietary restrictions and they were helpful and gave great recommendations for places that could accommodate us.
Their breakfasts are excellent and filling. That starts your day off so nicely.
The rooms were comfortable and roomy. Although the room was a bit dated -it was cozy and suited us perfectly.
It was a great location since it was a quick drive to Lenox shops & restaurants, although we did go to Lee for food as well.
Many places to explore, museums , the Botanical Garden, etc.
Although we got caught in a downpour when starting a hike, we managed to get a nice one in, later once it stopped, by walking up to Kennedy Park, behind the Inn. We had a good hike there. Perfect!!
Well worth the visit to Cornell Inn!
Will definitely will have a return visit in our future!
This is a charming inn at the edge of Lenox downtown which is a great vallue for off season pre Tanglewood! My friend and I each had separate individually decorated queen rooms with hot shower; we had a large cooked-on-the spot breakfast which included very fresh fruit bowl; restaurant and museum recommendations were generous and accurate; there are three public rooms which are delightful for "hangout" time, and summer will also feature large porch and ground level deck.
Very disappointed with our stay. We’ve loved this place in the past many times. Corners and regularly advertised and nice benefits were reduced and even cancelled once we arrived. No free bottle of wine, for example and the breakfast sizes, portions and options have all been reduced, if not eliminated.
This is my favorite place to stay in Lee! The room is cozy and the complimentary breakfast is delicious! The staff are professional and courteous. I will be back.
What a beautiful, well-appointed room we stayed in at the Cornell! We had "Jennifer's Room" and loved the decor and comfort of the space, including fireplace!! The breakfast was delicious and the staff was super friendly. We'll definitely be back!!
The weather played a part - our room was accessed by a set of outside stairs, and the weather was cold enough to make them a bit perilous. The staff did its best to attend to it.
What a lovely Inn! We were greeted with hot cider and a friendly welcome when we arrived. The room was beautifully appointed and quite comfortable. The breakfast was delicious and served in their light filled dining area. Overall it was a great experience.
