I'm sorry to hear the jets in the whirlpool tub were not working as well as they should. I will speak with Lance, our innkeeper, and I'm certain he will let our handy repair man know ASAP so... More

We stayed at the Cornell Inn for two nights. On arrival we were upgraded to "Frances" which is a large room in the main building which was built in 1888. The room has a king size bed, large seating area with chaise and wing back chairs. A fridge, fireplace, Jacuzzi tub and back deck with small table and two chairs... More

After a great deal of searching for the best value for a 2 night marathon-vacation getaway, we came across this lovely Cornell Inn. We lucked out by a last minute cancellation, jumped on the chance and we did not regret the decision at all. This place IS old, but updated. You could tell that the new owners wanted to keep... More

The Inn (which is really 3 separate buildings) is a bit farther out of townt than I had thought. Had booked thru their website and you have to book a specific room. I selected a room that looked like it had a bit more space and definitely had a fridge/micro, which happened to be in one of the other buildings.... More

Thank-you for taking the time to review our B&B. First of all, let me say, I'm sorry your room was changed without your knowledge. During the time of your stay we had some maintenance issues with a few rooms and had to move various guests into other rooms. Regardless of that fact, you should have been notified prior to arriving,... More

Decent accommodations... Great breakfast buffet. Food was pleasantly surprising! Good location - close to shops & Lenox center. Grounds and gardening could be improved with flowers etc. Add some greenery & flowers and dust a bit this place could be great

My wife, daughter, 5 year old grandson and I stayed in the "Maime" suite at the Cornell for just one night. Maime was really perfect for our troupe, with 2 rooms, 2 bathrooms, a fireplace, jacuzzi tub and a Murphy bed in the sitting room, which my grandson loved. Very comfortable and spacious, with great amenities. Breakfast was great also,... More

I didn't like the room and the bathroom. It was so cold and the heating was very noisy, impossible to use. The personnel is very nice and the breakfast rich for this kind of B&B. For one night it's OK. More suitable for young people who don't care about the comfort.

Thanks for your feedback. I am sorry you didn't enjoy your room in September. We welcome any specific feedback you might be willing to share. As far as the heating and air conditioning which cause you some discomfort, most electric units have been replaced since we took over as new owners around the time of your visit. I'd ask that...
