“Unbeatable view for an unbeatable price”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 November 2011

The view from one's room at Whitcomb Summit Inn really IS as beautiful as the pictures make it. Sunrise is truly stunning.

It's definitely an older motel -- I wouldn't really call it a hotel -- and the gravel parking lot can get muddy when wet. Like the rest of the facilities, the rooms, their furnishings, TV, and towels are a bit worn and showing their age; however, the owners keep everything impeccably clean, so you can definitely sense pride of ownership.

This motel is a spectacular value for larger groups travelling through the Berkshires. Instead of renting 3 rooms in a B&B, rent Whitcomb's 6-person room, store breakfast fixings in your in-room fridge, and enjoy your in-room breakfast in front of the window. Lovely!

Lastly, my attempts to make a (high maintenance) last-minute reservation with Carol was met with promptness and friendliness. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us last fall and that you got to see our sunrise. We are never tired of seeing the spectacular shows that nature gives us every morning.

We are working on restoring our property and we want to thank you for noticing our efforts to have clean rooms and to sense our pride of ownership.

Looking forward to seeing you and your family next time you are in the Berkshires.

“Can't wait to return..”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 October 2011

person found this review helpful

What a beautiful place. This was truly the largest room we had stayed in whilst in the US and the views from the room were truly magnificent. The owner was the perfect host ensuring that we were locating great local restaurants some with discounts for motel residents. We used the motel as a base for exploring the Berkshires each day returning back to see the sunset over a glass (or 2) of wine. Highly recommended.

Room Tip: Call ahead and ask for a specific size bed. Upper level rooms probably have better views.

“We would return in a heartbeat”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 September 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I concur completely in the most recent reviews. As the owner put it, the place is "in transition," and portions of the exterior still need work. But don't be put off! The rooms were clean and comfortable, the appliances were in perfect order, the price was reasonable, the proprietor was friendly and helpful, and the views over the adjacent mountains (the motel occupies the highest point on Massachetts Route 2) were among the most spectacular I have ever seen. My wife and I would return in a heartbeat.

“Don't judge a book by its cover”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 August 2011

At first glance, this motel appears to be long past its prime, but the rooms are immaculate and for the price, it can't be beat. The pub unfortunately is closed due to a business dispute, but the owner and his staff, including a resident pooch, couldn't have been friendlier,and more helpful and had some good restaurant recommendations further west on the Mohawk Trail. If you're willing to slum it a bit, the motel is a great value particularly for families traveling on a budget,. Here's hoping the property is refurbished soon.

“Do not let the outside fool you”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 August 2011

On the outside the place looks a bit rough. HOWEVER, if you let that make your decision for you , you have missed something great. LIke all the other revies the view is outstanding.
The Rooms were VERY clean freshly painted and carpented. The driving force behind this review is the new owner. I have never had a inn keeper work as hard as he does to make things right and confortable. I am sure that my next trip to the area will ensure I stay there and wake up to that view from the front porch.
