Very quiet setting in a beautiful area. Room had a musty closed up smell to it but it wasn't to overpowering. Very cute little place to stay. Traveled with my friend and we definitely stay here again.

Quite honestly, I was quite disappointed with my stay. There was a fake fingernail on the bathroom floor & the shower was impossible to keep water from the surrounding bathroom floor. There were no staff anywhere on the premises but instead up the road at the Red Lion Inn in Stockbridge & having anyone answer the phone was sketchy. I would have appreciated a way to make coffee in the room as it was a drive into town & nothing was open. I would not stay again & am disappointed at the Red Lion Inn.

We were just a few days before we arrived that the Briarcligf hotel was just taken over by the Red Lion Inn. The lobby was shuttered with no staff on site so we had to drive to the Inn for breakfast...parking there was a challenge. Room was clean but shower had minimal glass wall enclosure so many towels were needed to mop up the floor. Return to the motel from the town is a nerve-wracking left turn...a blinking light would surely help. The Little Lion is a work in progress.

This property is no longer called the Briarcliff Motel. It is now the Little Lion and is owned by the Red Lion Inn in Stockbridge. It’s a low budget property that is undergoing some improvements. I knew what to expect , so I wasn’t really surprised. I arrived about 45 minutes before check in time and there was no one at the property to check in with. The office was locked. Fortunately, I received a text that informed me of my room number and door combination, along with a phone number to call if I had a problem. I had to call the number to get my door combination to work. This was accomplished in less than 10 minutes, but after that, all went well, despite the wall air conditioner being a bit noisy !

Forget this place.
If I could give this place a zero, I would. We made the reservation months in advance and heard nothing from them to indicate they had sold the business and that conditions had changed. When we arrived for checkin the parking lot was completely empty, the building, dark, empty, and no one responded to ringing the bell or knocking on the door. We had to walk into another nearby hotel for a room. They have still not refunded our money as they charged us as if we had stayed there.

Property was very clean and bedding comfortable. It shows a considerable effort to make a very old property clean and comfortable . However, the bathroom door locked and was very hard to open. We were afraid to shut the door completely. No toiletries or shower cap-soap and shampoo in dispensers on the wall. AC was very noisy. There was no one on the property to offer assistance at any time.

The location was convenient. Some updates were made, and there were some thoughtful details. The room could use a little TLC, but worked well for our purposes.
