    Breakfast was underwhelming. Adequate but I have seen better. I was not a fan of the pillows and there was no alternative choice.

    This independent is as good as a comparable chain. Fixtures are generally up to date. Staff was good. Lakeview room was nice, large. In all comparable to a quality/ comfort inn.

    Nothing that the hotel can do anything about. People talk loudly in the halls with fairly loud doors opening and closing at all hours. Yet, so outweighed by all that is so good about this property.

    Reasonably priced place that accepts dogs all while providing an exceptional view!!! We enjoy the stay at the Black Swan with staff eager to meet the needs of all customers. The room is a good size, the deck was clean and semi-private, and the view was priceless!

    Size of the room was smaller than i thought.

    It would be better if there are more cooked food options for breakfast rather than microwaving refrigerated sandwich. Also sq ft of the room was not clear.

    The coffee with the free breakfast was not hot. The first morning they ran out of pancake batter.

    We showed up earlier than expected but our room was ready and they let us check in before 2pm. We also got a room upgrade. We had the Sunday buffet after we checked in and it was very good.

    I put a lot of faith and hope in breakfast and it was a bit lacking . The “nook” area was isolated in the back of the lodging area and there were limited opportunities for hot food. I was excited about the pancakes maker but there was no hot protein to go with the pancake.

    Room was “homey” and comfortable Everything was clean

    I had been told,I thought, in response to my question ,that I could have a room on the pond side if it was available (no one had booked them all) for no extra charge. In fact I could not-- was told I had to pay extra regardless of whether they were available.

    Breakfasts, Quiet, Room TV -- all fine

    The second floor hallway always smelled a little stale and a bit like we were entering a house full of cats. This did not impact our room in any way. Perhaps updated carpeting would help. Or just air freshener. We had two drawers in our chest of drawers that would not stay closed. It was no big deal, but it made us laugh.

    We liked our room and view. Staff is extremely friendly and helpful. We enjoyed a meal at the restaurant. Our room was clean and spacious, and the bed was comfortable. The location allowed us to easily access Stockbridge, Lee, Lenox, and Pittsfield.

    We only stayed for a night - just had to get away to recharge and this was the perfect place for it. Quaint little town, inn on the lake. We stayed in a king superior lakeview room and appreciated the whirlpool tub, fireplace and late checkout. The room was spacious, clean and quiet. We stayed for the Sunday lunch buffet which was spectacular. We did not encounter a lot of staff during our quick stay, but the ones we did were helpful and pleasant.
