It was a nice little motel and a comfy bed! the only complaint I had was the heating. It was a relatively chilly night and was pretty cold in the room. I tried to follow the instructions to turn the heating dial up but it didn't seem to make a difference. If they could provide extra blankets in the closet for nights like these, that would be appreciated!

Me and my wife stopped here for an overnight stay on the way to our honeymoon destination, looks sketchy from the outside but the moment we got in our room we were immediately taken back by how clean it smelled and looked as we’ll as how cute it was in there. No bugs at all present and we checked very throughly for them, it was freezing upon our arrival but one turn on the heater and it was super toasty super fast in there. The bed was super comfy and perfect just for a 2 person overnight stay. Honesty it was so relaxing I’d probably book a weekend stay in the future. It had everything we needed, working and clean microwave as well as minifridge, shower was clean and has a heater in the bathroom. TV cable was working perfectly fine. 5/5 stars

No frills motel. It was the only option under 200 before fees in 25 miles range of tanglewood for the night we stayed so it got the job done. It was clean but run down. Good for a night or two if you’re spending most of your time out doing things. Check in was unusual but surprisingly convenient. There’s plenty of camera outside so it felt safe. The Wi-Fi was surprisingly good which is important for the area. Check you booking Account for check in details before arriving in case you don’t have service

It was totally fine for our needs. Check in was easy - I got an email saying which room we had and it was unlocked and the key was inside. Things haven’t been updated in awhile, but it was clean and comfy and had what we needed- and the view of the trees and birds out the back was lovely to wake up to.

If you want to have doors you aren't sure are locked, if you want to be stared at for being slightly different then the norm, if you want a shower that has the water pressure of a drippung faucet this is the place for you.

The Becket Motel worked out perfectly for our needs while attending a weekend of slalom races on the nearby Farmington River. There was no staff onsite, but very accommodating, easy directions for check-in, and very responsive staff easily reached by phone (I had cell service, but there was also a land line provided to reach staff). I had also emailed prior to our stay to inquire about plugging in our electric hybrid vehicle. Responses were prompt and effective, and all worked out perfectly. The room was clean and comfortable, and the microwave, coffee maker, and refrigerator were greatly appreciated. We also enjoyed a great dinner at the nearby Becket Country Store, with a discount offered to guests of the Becket Motel. The room was quite spacious, and very quiet (with the exception of a loud vehicle peeling out at 2:30 a.m. one night, but that was certainly not their fault, nor under their control). We would definitely stay here again, especially on race weekend, when our friends did not have the luxury of a warm room with a hot shower at their campsites on the 30 degree mornings. The cost was very reasonable, and well worth it for that luxury.

Dear Ross, sorry to hear about your experience. It was surprising that you started these complaints after you were told that you can't stay with your dog at the room. Our pets policy - pets are not allowed, It is very clear posted on the websites, on the check-in information you got and on motel policy note hanging on the door!!! Also the guest before and after your stay at the same exact room never had any issue with hot water. Wish you the best

This motel was convenient to Becket and Lee and moderately priced, but property fees and cleaning fees seem a bit much. I was the only guest both nights I was there. Spooky! Room was clean, and the helpful and pleasant cleaning woman (Amanda) was putting clean sheets on as I was arriving. DISH TV was not functional throughout!! Heater did not seem to function at all. Overall, I was disappointed. Some locals I met with were surprised it was still open.

Dear guest, thanks for your feedback! Sorry the TV didn't work at your room! The common issue we have is that the input channel selected wrongly at the remote. We fixed it by providing clear explanation how to turn on the TV and the cables. Regarding the heating we definitely have heating at the room at this part of the world :) In any event in the future, please contact us and we will help you. Sincerely

Good for 1 night.
A place to rest for an overnight stay. No major issues.. Room smelled terrible and made me have allergy type symptoms the entire night, the bed was super uncomfortable. Management may want to consider airing out the rooms. As stated before it was an overnight stay, wouldn't do more than that. It served it's purpose.

I think that Expedia should inspect lodgings that they have listed. Very dirty, beds squeaky and like a rock. Pillows flat and very thin. See through towels. Stayed two nights and told we had to pay $30 to get towels for second night. No employee on sight. Our door key also opened the unit next door.

A Motel on the Way Up With New Management
The new management is making substantial upgrades. His aim is to make it entirely green with solar panels and possible wind turbines. It is clearly on its way up, but has a way to go. My room was quite comfortable. A major plus is that it is only about 10 minutes from Jacob's Pillow.

If you are on a budget or just need a place to crash and you're not nit-picky, this place is "fine". Check-in is weird: there is an old 1970's push-button phone hanging on the wall and you have to call someone who answers the phone "Hello?" like you're interrupting the Saturday afternoon matinee. He was pleasant enough, but this felt very impersonal and a little surreal. The room smelled musty, looked dingy, and it was very outdated. It's great to have sitting space, but folding card-table chairs is NOT what I envision in a motel room. Your buddy's poker den, sure. The bedspread was of the same vintage as the check-in telephone. There was a coffee maker with coffee, but there were no cups or any other sort of "container" to put the coffee in. Drink it right out of the carafe if you're desperate. There were NO OTHER GUESTS at this property, yet we were placed next-door to the live-in housekeeper who has a small child. We were greeted when we arrived with chalk drawings (scribbling) on the walk outside our door. What a homey touch! The child was nice and played sweetly outside, so she was not a bother, although we were hoping for a little more privacy. We requested to relocate to the far end of the peoperty but were told the rooms were not ready for guests. I guess they only clean them on an "as-needed" basis. If dated decor, dusty tables, folding chairs, vintage communication equipment, and the whiff of a Twin Peaks vibe sounds intriguing, then this place is for YOU!

The property was extremely dirty and outdated the grass was almost 2 feet tall when you open up the sliding glass door in the back and the smoke alarms went off at 4:30 in the morning and all they had to say was asking if we were smoking not really a sorry or any idea of a compensation . Complete waste of money cheap hotel for a reason please don’t waste your time

There was a sign outside our room that kept rattling in the wind all night long. We finally secured it so that we could sleep with a little peace. The second night, we decided to just drive the 2.5 hours home instead of sleeping with the hoards of spiders and spiderwebs in the room. Plus, we weren't sure if we were going to fall through the bathroom floor.

The Becket hotel is close to allot of attractions in the Berkshires. Definitely worth the money you spend to stay there. There is no room service but the price reflects that. The owner is very friendly

Perfect Stay in the Berkshires
Perfect place to stay in the Berkshires. When we got out of the car, we were struck by how wonderfully quiet it was. And that clean, earthy smell that let's you know you're up in the mountains can't be beat. The motel is not too fancy, in the best way - just exactly what's needed and at a great price. We had two rooms, and each had a comfortable bed, bathroom with shampoo, etc., and a table to sit at. The owner was also extremely nice and welcoming! I look forward to returning, and I hope it stays exactly as it is for years to come.

I was the only one in the motel on the Sunday night I stayed there. A 24/7 number was given if you need to get in touch. I thought I might be checking in quite late and I wanted to communicate that so I called many times in the middle of a Sunday afternoon but never got an answer. When I arrived a friendly man was there and my room was ready just as the information I received ahead of time said it would be. The friendly man gave me a blow dryer upon request which was nice. The room was clean but nothing matched, not even the sheets. The 20 yr old plus TV did not work. Their was a sliding glass door at the back of the room with no screen. At night when I returned I must say that it was very weird to be the only guest. I got my $100 worth I suppose...

The actual bedding and shower and toilet seemed clean, but the slightly lesser used areas were disgusting. The mini-fridge was black with mold on the inside, as was the medicine cabinet. The dresser and floor had grime and dead bugs. I had to do a lot of cleaning myself. The only lock was a flimsy handle lock and one of those little chains. The TV didn't work. Otherwise..... it was fine.....

It was adequate but safe and clean. It was very basic: bed, small fridge, very clean bathroom. The TV was very old and inoperable. Good place for one night
