Then, as the opening post of this thread pointed out, there are the neighbors.
The Old Stockbridge Road Neighborhood Association, which has members
in more than one town in Berkshire County,
has its own website and its own blog.

Their entries concerning Elm Court go back to 2014
and these people are UP IN ARMS -- look at the blog entries and see for yourself.

Consider this quote from Annie Selke, dated 2014, a local CEO
who has spent her whole life in Berkshire County.

"When I first heard that Elm Court was being sold and developed into a country house hotel
along the lines of Wheatleigh (21 rooms) and Blantyre (19 rooms),
I thought it was a wonderful fit for the neighborhood
and would be consistent with the Berkshire brand.
But when the plan escalated dramatically to
112 rooms, a spa and a 60-seat restaurant geared toward a mid-market demographic,
I got concerned."
