Hampton Inn & Suites Berkshires-Lenox {US-MA}
Anyone visiting the Berkshires and wishing for a Hilton property can rejoice. I just missed it, but as I was leaving Lenox this morning, the new Hampton Inn in Lenox, Ma had a "Grand Opening" banner across the front. Details on the various Hilton family websites. This area has been notorious over the years for providing very little in the way of chain accomodations, outside of the very low end (I spent 2 nights at a Comfort Inn). Many of the best properties are independents, which may be fine, but always it sticks in the craw of point-hog like me to get nothing in return for my money and loyalty but a good nights sleep.
