Howard Johnson offered the best price in the Pittsfield and Lenox vicinity for a room with two queen beds on the day we needed it. For the price, I was pleasantly surprised by the generous size of the room and the comfort of the clean beds. The room came with more than we needed: black-out curtains, A/C, mini-fridge, microwave, coffee-maker, desk, hanging space with ironing board and iron... our sleep was not distrubed by traffic noise despite the hotel facing a major road. We heard nothing from neighboring rooms which may not have been occupied.
The hotel is dated which shows most in the small bathroom with its aged tub and stained shower curtain. But it did seem clean. Note that this is a motel; rooms are accessed directly from the very well-lit parking area with stairs leading to the 2nd floor row of rooms also facing the parking lot. There is no elevator. Because the motel is so well lit, I recommend an eye mask for those whose sleep would be disturbed by the sliver of light that edges the black-out curtains where the curtains do not lie completely flat against the wall. Overall I recommend this motel for those on a budget. It offered clean comfort at a great price and the receptionist was very helpful. It's also within walking distance of CVS, Marshalls, a supermarket, restaurants and is a short drive to the gorgeous village of Lenox.
