Hello John,I'm sorry that you have the opinion that our inn is rundown. The room that you stayed in, our second-floor rooms in our main building featuring 2 queen beds, were renovated less than one year ago, with new paint, beds, carpets, dressers, tvs, and furniture. At the price of 209, I certainly feel they are very appropriately appointed and it is unfortunate that you had a poor experience.

They gave us a room far away from every thing with many stairs even though my husband was with an asthma crisis, they said because we booked with Expedia they couldn’t give us a better room

Hello Beatriz,I am sorry that your husband was having breathing issues when you visited. I would like to make sure it is known that you did book the room you were put into, a king room in our Sunnyside building, and yes the main building was sold out this weekend, keeping you from being able to book a room there. You certainly were not put into a room you did not book just because you booked with Expedia. I did approve the desk staff to authorize you in a townhouse suite, the remaining accommodations that were available this weekend, despite your booking on Expedia into that room type. I was told you did not want to move into that type due to the cost.

The rooms are ok. The entry and hallways were very dirty and needed to be vacuumed and maintained better. The beds were very uncomfortable- lumps and bumps and need to be replaced.

I have stayed at the Interlaken quite a few times, and I have stayed in a few different buildings. Generally, I like stying here. However, this was the second time I stayed in the Woodside building. The room was fine. However, there is no way that I could find to turn off the exterior lighting both in front of and behind my room. It was basically mid-day light in my room all night long. I really wish there were either better/ more "blackout" window treatments or a way to turn the lights off. One front light seemed to be on a sensor, so it would turn off, but then it just would get tripped and turn on again.

Upon arrival I was told I was in the “Countryside” building. It’s an outdated, smelly old house nearby. There was NO maid service, NO breakfast, and I could hear every step, door close and toilet flush of others in nearby rooms. The A/C and small refrigerator were so noisy I had to unplug them to get any sleep. Bad experience all around.

Response from Ryan Bousquet on 7 Sept 2023
Hello Edward,I spoke to you directly on your arrival. You explained you were put into the Countryside building when you actually booked that yourself through Expedia. You requested to be moved to the main building despite booking the "auxiliary building" as you put it, but unfortunately, we were sold out and not able to make that change. I am sorry that you found many issues after that, though I will say it is common when someone is somewhere they do not want to be. Stay service has been by request since 2020, and this is explained in your pre-arrival email as well as on a large sign located at the front desk. Anything that is requested is cleaned by the team. Also, we did have breakfast all days of the weekend until 10:30 am, I'm not sure how it happened that the comment was no breakfast available. While I am having to respond to your comments, we do hope that you are able to book in advance for next time so that you receive the room type that you want without any issues.

Hello,It is standard practice for most hotels since covid to offer stay service by request only. This is explained in your arrival email sent to you the day of your arrival, as well as on a large sign located at the front desk when you arrive. Very many guests in the world now do not want people just entering their room, and I am sorry that you feel differently. If you, or any guest, would like stay service while with us, we are happy to do that service for you.

The clerks on the front desk had no knowledge about things to do or local activities. The room, beds and baths are clean and comfortable. The lake on the site was great for swimming, and canoes are readily available for guests.

Hello Robert,I'm sorry that you did not feel the desk had knowledge of our area. We certainly have lists of places to go in the area for hikes, bike rides, and general entertainment. Perhaps there was nothing you were provided that was to your liking, but our desk staff has always been spoken very highly of regarding our customer service and ability to help guests. We hope you will be able to return again and enjoy the lake and the area, and we will certainly provide you with all of our local happenings.

Great service in lovely setting
This is a lovely setting and the grounds and pool are well-maintained. We stayed in a dog-friendly room and it was very convenient. The staff here are really great - very friendly and accommodating. The location puts you near the Berkshires.

Nice place - convenient to Hotchkiss & Salisbury
Th location was great for my visit for graduation at Salisbury school, which is about 6 miles away. I really enjoyed everything - the rooms I was in was in one of the older buildings and was a bit dated, but they seem to be well maintained (had A/C which was great!) and were clean. I like having coffee and a light breakfast available. Met my needs and the grounds are lovely- nice pool, tennis courts.

Thank you for taking the time to submit your review. We have just revamped our lower lobby which now has a Breakfast Eatery window for our guests to enjoy during the week. You'll find hot bagels and fresh local donuts along with some other options for purchase. We hope to see you again in the near future so you can let us know what you think of the improvement!
