The Yankee, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

Yankee has been around for generations - it’s the same truly “Berkshire’s Home” feel but has been updated and remodeled to meet and exceed current-day standards. Stay here to support an excellent business and truly capture the charm of the Berkshires. The comfort achieved at Yankee is not typically found in hotel stays today. Free breakfast (hot and cold) was extensive and delicious. Room was immaculately clean. Came with cozy working gas fireplace, balcony with view and seating. Bathroom was newly renovated and beautiful - walk in shower, detachable (hand-held) shower head, all the toiletries at generous amounts. Extra pillows and towels!! Comfortable bed with plenty of places to sit, study, put things down in the room. Temperature control is actually in the guests' control and supplied by independent unit. Appreciated the selection of food in lobby pantry for purchase at any time - easy to stay fed with microwave, freezer and refrigerator in the room. Yankee even has their own travel brochures available for free for guests to use to discover the area and eat well. Amble and well-lit parking right out front. Also on site: a small bar (doubles as a sports viewing area), indoor pool (there’s an outside pool too), gym and lobby bathrooms - didn’t use these features but checked in and was impressed. Great location, right on Rt-7 and next to a shopping complex with dining, groceries, pharmacy (CVS) and stores for last minute “oops, forgot to pack (insert item here)”. Most of all - the staff are such genuinely kind and warm people. They were the reason we booked here in the first place and they delivered beyond expectation.

The location was great for exploring Lenox and surrounding towns, Tanglewood, Rockwell Museum, The Mount, and the Botantical Gardens. Also, close to Guido's Market (for provisions to take to Tanglewood picnic) and Electra's Cafe (for a quick lunch before check-in). The chairs in the back facing the wildlike santuary were fabulous!!! Very peaceful to enjoy the morning or early evening. Lots of breakfast choices! Breakfast staff was very attentive.

We had a very enjoyable short stay at this hotel. It’s conveniently located near many restaurants and just a short drive from the event we were attending. The front desk staff were consistently polite and welcoming, no matter who was on duty. Breakfast was a typical American spread, but everything was fresh and tasty. There was a great variety: coffee, tea, apple and orange juice, cinnamon rolls, danishes, muffins, scrambled and hard-boiled eggs, bananas, oranges, yogurt, and a few cereal options. My kids were hoping for waffles, but unfortunately, the machine wasn’t available during our stay. The beds were extremely comfortable and clean, and the bathroom was modern and spotless. My kids especially enjoyed the large heated pool and hot tub. The atmosphere was peaceful, and other guests were respectful and quiet. The hotel is undergoing renovations, and I’m looking forward to seeing the improvements on the older sections. We only had to ask for an extra toothbrush—everything else met or exceeded our expectations. There also wasn’t any lingering odor like we’ve experienced in some other hotels.

The front desk folks were very friendly! The room was clean and we loved the shower. Beds good, pillows good. We had a little balcony, which was pleasant to sit on because we had some good weather.

Handicap accessible. Clean. Good sized room. Comfortable. Delicious breakfast. Close to many attractions. Easy checkin/out. Nice amenities such as a fitness room, 2 pools, hot tub and a pub. I would definitely come back.
