“Highly Recommended for a Romantic Getaway”

Chambery Inn

Apr 25, 2007
1/1 found this review helpful

Pros:
* Breakfast is delivered right to your door: cereal, juice, fresh-baked pastries, coffee and tea. They even provide a tablecloth and a copy of the morning's paper.
* The bed is wonderful: silk pillowcases, soft linens, and a pillowtop mattress
* Fireplace is romatic and the jacuzzi is great for relaxing!
* Recliners allowed us to watch tv while enjoying the fire
* Lights are on dimmers
* Provided filtered water, coffee pot, empty fridge, ice bucket, champagne and wine glasses, even a corkscrew
* Close to the outlets, Stockbridge, and some great restaurants
* On Main St, but set back off the road so that there is no real street noise

Cons:
* Walls are thin and sound echoes - if people talk in the hallway, you will know it (we learned this lesson at midnight and 5 a.m. on the same day). In their defense, the front desk quickly took care of the problems
* Basement room offered no view - but this can be seen as a pro if you don't want to be awoken by the morning light!
* Parking lot is tiny and there are less spaces than there are rooms
* No makeup-mirror and lighting in the bathroom is not great

Surrounding area:
* Within walking distance: restaurants (Salmon Run has fresh fish & great desserts); liquor store; grocery store; post office
* 1.5 mi: Prime Outlets Lee
* 5-15 mi: Stockbridge (Red Lion Inn; Michael's Restaurant); Pittsfield (Aster's Restaurant); Norman Rockwell Museum; Edith Wharton; The Clark

We went during the offseason, so there was not as much available in the way of entertainment, events, but it was still a VERY relaxing vacation.

  • This TripAdvisor Member:
    • Liked — The room was delightful!
    • Disliked — Hard to find a place to park - the parking lot needs more spaces.

“Very nice stay overall”

Chambery Inn

Feb 21, 2007
1/1 found this review helpful

Stayed there with my wife for a couple of nights on the lower floor king room.

Pros:
-Big bed
-Gas fireplace in the room
-Breakfast basket brought to room in mornings
-TV in room
-Private clean bathroom w/ jacuzzi tub

Cons:
-In winter, parking was a little cramped, they have a very small lot
-Breakfast was ok, but not really a FULL breakfast, basically just cereal/yogurt/bagels, but it's presented nicely, in a basket with the newspaper, each morning so it's worth it....still filled us up though, just nothing special
-On lower floor, you hear squeaks from room above you, which I guess is natural for most rooms in most places, but still a little annoying if you are a light sleeper

Recommended: Yes...the pro's outweighed the con's, overall, we enjoyed our stay.

“Perfect Weekend Getaway”

Chambery Inn

5 of 5 stars
New York, NY
Dec 25, 2006
4/4 found this review helpful

Although it was off season in the Berkshires, the Chambery Inn was right on target for us for a quiet romantic retreat. We stayed 3 nights in this immaculately clean and unusual inn, in a deluxe suite called La Normandie (click on 'virtual tours' on their website to see the rooms). It was a large room with very high ceilings, and quaintly decorated with a comfy king sized canopy bed. (we were supposed to stay in Le Lycee next door, but they moved us to La Normandie because of a strange odor in the room...). Since the inn used to be a parochial school (ask them to tell you the history), it still had the original chalkboards in the rooms (and chalk was provided for my drawing pleasure!). Our room had an electric fireplace with a loveseat off to the side of this L-shaped room (the other deluxe suites had the fireplace at the foot of the bed). At the foot of our bed, we had another seating area with a table where we were able to enjoy the breakfast that was delivered to our room in a charming picnic basket every morning with the newspaper. (There is no common sitting or dining area, so for those who love B&B's for the socialization at breakfast, this may not be right for you. We wanted to be alone, so it was perfect).
The room and inn had all the amenities we could need and more. The towels were plush and clean, the bathroom spotless with a small whirlpool tub, and rods that heated our towels. TV/VCR/DVD. Refrigerator and coffee maker. There was a guest pantry on the first floor with wine/champagne glasses and corkscrews. Soda could be purchased for $1.
The 3 'deluxe suites' (Petit Palais, Le Lycee, and La Normandie) were on the top floor. We peaked at the other suites, and all were huge, clean and nicely decorated. On the main floor (which they call the second floor) were the 3 'school house suites', right off of the front entry. They were also large and beautiful. However, the concierge sits at a desk right in front of the room La Chambre which we thought would not be very private if staying in that room. In the lower level was La Chambrette, which we also saw. While very small and tight, was still a nice room with a fireplace. The inn is set far back from the street, so front facing rooms should be as quiet as the rear facing rooms. There are train tracks in the back of the inn, but we only noticed1 freight train go by, and it was not disturbing at all.
Although we thought it odd that the owners were not around, the staff were lovely and tried to be helpful, and accomodated all of our requests.
There is nothing going on in the town of Lee (especially in the winter), except for several average restuarants in walking distance. But Lee is centrally located if you want to visit Lenox and Stockbrige (10 min away).
We were very glad that the Red Lion Inn was booked, and we found the Chambery Inn. We stopped into the Red Lion which was packed with restless children. No children under 18 allowed in Chambery. We had a peaceful and romantic stay.

“We recommend it highly!”

Chambery Inn

Dec 18, 2006
2/2 found this review helpful

We couldn't get a reservation at the Kripalu Center for a program we were attending, so we started "shopping around" for someplace nearby. Housed in an old schoolhouse with interesting history and memorabilia, this bed and breafkast was a great find! We stayed in the schoolhouse suite on the first floor. It was very spacious, lovely, and well appointed. Much more than we needed, really - with a cozy gas-burning fireplace, coffeemaker, small refrigerator, but the rate was perfect and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Breakfast was delivered promptly - in an attractive basket - and the staff member on call, Olga, couldn't have been nicer and more eager to please. There are plenty of nice restaurants (both casual and fine dining) just a short walk away. And it was only about 15 minutes from the Kripalu Center. If, for whatever reason, staying on site is not for you, we would highly recommend this Inn.
