What a dump, this accommodation lived up to the name of of the city it was the pits. We were totally ripped off, we prepaid through a travel agent for two rooms and they said they had not got our booking even though we had vouchers emailed through. The new owners then offered us a double room for what he said was a discounted price of 139 dollars when considering the state of the place 5 dollars would have been too much. Please don't go, also we think our credit card details were copied and used. A really bad experience on what was a great trip round New England 

A really bad experience 

We were looking for an inexpensive overnight on our drive south from a vacation in New Hampshire and thought the Econo Lodge might work after seeing all the inflated prices at all the surrounding motels. It looks like it used to be the Fairborn Inn from an old banner still hanging from the front of the building, so why wouldn't you take than down? Well, the outside merits a 1/terrible rating with ratty landscaping and fences knocked down around the property that haven't been painted since the building went up. There was junk sitting around the place with what looked like a few long term residents in the motel. Inside the room rates a 2.75/ not quite average though it seemed OK for a night. Everything worked but needed some TLC. The area is surrounded by restaurants, traffic and shopping centers but seemed tucked back just enough that I carefully watched my surroundings, but we had no problems. The rundown closed restaurant next to it didn't help. An Indian family must be the owners, since the lobby looked a little like their home but the front desk interaction went fine and they were friendly. The sign said no longer serving breakfast due to Covid but that is BS, just saving money. There is a Wendy's  1/2 mile down the street for a great breakfast. 
Choice Hotels needs to bring in a consultant and state that certain things need to be done to even keep the budget Econo Lodge banner. I would not stay here again even though it was the only motel under $100 in a 20 mile radius of Stockbridge. Was I generous with the final 2/ poor rating, maybe? Interesting that they had a very nice garden growing in the parking lot.

How Do You Grade This Place?

The owners are aggressive and threatened my boyfriend. They lie on their site—a “double room” is not 2 double beds but rather one queen bed. The owners lied on the phone when we called to ask. Then, when we got there they tried to charge us double for the room we needed for our family. They have their kids toys and shoes in the lobby as though they live in the lobby. They said they’d refund our monkey but never did. They refused to speak with the corporate office when they tried to step in.

Liars and Aggressive

If I could, I would give the Econo Lodge in Pittsfield, MA, a negative number. We reserved two rooms, and both were equally filthy. They were listed as non-smoking and reeked of stale cigarettes covered with obnoxious orange air freshener. The carpets were badly stained and not vacuumed. We were afraid to take off our shoes as we didn't want to put our bare feet on the floor. There were cigarette burns on the bedding and carpet, mold on the wallpaper, and one bathroom was covered in black goo that looked like the previous occupant had dyed their hair (or worse). The management came to the room and wiped down the bathroom, but that was all they could do as they said no other rooms were available even though the place looked empty. The parking lot was a vacant wasteland. I wish I had read all the negative reviews before booking rooms at this dump.

A pit in Pittsfield

If I could have given it a negative number I would have. We ended up in a smoking room that is absolutely disgusting. Cigarette burns in the bedding, mold on the lamp shade and tub, an unknown substance in one of the drawers, crap running down the walls....the management even had a candle lit in the room when we arrived. 

Never again...

The room was so bad that we had to leave and find another place to stay - the room was dirty, cigarettes left in the ac, carpet was ripped and soiled, burn holes in the bed spread.
And to top it off - a manager without any customer service skills.
The worst and worst run motel we have ever seen

Do Not Stay at this place

Made a reservation   but cancelled within the  cancellation policy but they denied it so I have to pay.  DID   not stay They refused to  acknowledge my cancellation so I have to pay. BEWARE!!  I  will not  stay there in the future  .

refused to  give a refund when reservation was cancelled within  the cancellation window.Wil NEVER  stay  there .

The only thing you can expect from a motel this cheap is for it to at least be clean.  The room we stayed in was absolutely filthy upon arrival. It was so dirty that I actually cleaned it myself in order to feel comfortable staying here. The walls especially were disgusting, obviously hadn’t been cleaned in years and there was hair all over the bathroom. Disgusting! Plus, upon arrival one of the young men cleaning the motel was yelling at one of his coworkers and swearing incredibly loudly, definitely not a family environment. Pay the extra and stay somewhere else, please!

Horrible Place

Avoid this place at all times — property manager is scamming guests with breakfasts. When I said to him that my booking via Booking.com included breakfast and that I would like to get a difference refunded since they don’t provide breakfasts due to COVID, he started yelling at me, saying that he will not refund the difference, and that he is canceling our 2nd (last) night at his hotel. When I showed him a receipt from McDonald’s across the street where we eventually had our breakfast, he said that he can only refund “not hot breakfast” portion of our receipt since they wouldn’t have provided hot breakfast here, even though he has a giant sign of his hotel saying “Hot Breakfast”. I told him that I will give 1-star review, and he said to go ahead and give a 0-star review; wish here was such an option to satisfy his request.

AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL TIMES!!!

Not a good place to stay.  Landscaping is weed infested and extremely overgrown, no amenities, plants growing in buckets, chairs from rooms outside, needs lots of cleaning and updating.   The only good thing about the room is that the linens were clean and there were no signs of bedbugs.  

Will never stay here again.
