Museum of Creative Process Tours and Activities

This is more like renting a small condo, though I booked it as a "hotel room". Lots of families, plenty for them to do on premises, barbeque pits, activities, multiple pools and water features for the kids. It is a massive development at the foot of a ski resort in rural Western Massachusetts. The prices were extremely reasonable. The proximity to all of the things that attract many people to the Berkshires is a challenge: 40 minutes to Stockbridge, 35 - 40 minutes to Tanglewood. 20 -25 minutes to the Clark. I could go on but you get the idea. It's isolated, but because it's a development, it's not bucolic. Unfortunately, there's not even a general store nearby (within several miles). The facilities could use a facelift or a deep cleaning (the latter would really suffice). So, if you read this far and decided that this review is too negative.... read on. It gets better. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Coffee available in the lobby in the morning. Everywhere we looked, there were happy families enjoying a reasonably-priced vacation. The accommodations were spacious, even the one bedroom unit we were in had plenty of room (okay, the terraces seem like an afterthought!). Two TVs, full countertop cooking facilities and a microwave, a full size fridge. One set of little hotel shampoos, conditioner and soap provided, full linen service provided. Extremely reasonably priced and that made it a tremendous value for the dollar. So book it!

We stayed in the old section but it was clean and convenient. The hotel staff was excellent-friendly and able to answer any questions. Good breakfast buffet.
