Agree strongly, Chicopee and Albany are not the Berkshires. That said, I just checked for my annual trip to Tanglewood and the Berkshire Opera and the Hampton is pricing at $199. The Crowne Plaza in Pittsfield is going for $143 the same night so unless the Hampton rate comes down, I will have to burn 25,000 points for the category 3 reward or stay in scenic downtown Pittsfield.
