What guests say
9.4 / 10 · Wonderful on Booking.com, from 25 guest reviews
The Chambery Inn earns overwhelmingly positive sentiment for its distinctive converted-schoolhouse atmosphere, clean and spacious rooms, and excellent positioning for Berkshires and Tanglewood visits. However, a handful of guests raised legitimate concerns around ventilation (windows that don't open or malfunction), the absence of on-site staff, and pricing that some felt did not match the value. The rare but serious window issue on a freezing night is the standout complaint worth noting.
