    I recently stayed at a motel in the Berkshires and had a great experience. The location was ideal, as it was close to everything. The room was clean and comfortable, with a cozy bed and a spacious bathroom. The staff provided excellent service, making sure I had everything I needed. The continental breakfast was a nice touch, with fresh fruit and good coffee. Plus, the motel had a lovely view of the surrounding area, adding to the overall charm.

    I did notice that the curtains in the room didn't cover the whole window, which could be an issue for some guests.

I felt really comfortable during my stay at the Briarcliff Motel in Great Barrington. Our room was upgraded to a king-size one with nice amenities like a seating area, writing desk, and ironing facilities. the decor was lovely, and the bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring a great night's sleep. Plus, the motel's location was fantastic, offering beautiful views of the mountains and close proximity to everything in the area. It was truly a wonderful experience staying there.
