Wonderful

I expected a bit more based on previous reviews. That being said, the location is great and it has a lot of potential with little fixes. The outdoor space is nice. My biggest complaint is no towel rack or hook in the bathroom! No place to hang towels or clothing. There were holes in the wall where they used to be, but no longer there. No cups in the bathroom, no tissues, the mini fridge had a big block of ice that blocked the freezer and part of the fridge. There was a very strong air freshener smell - not unpleasant, but if you have a sensitivity to fragrances, it could be a problem. I didn’t realize they recycled until I saw the dumpster on the last day…a sm separate bin for recycling would be good. They were “out of” tickets to Hildene. When I asked at Hildene, I was told that they no longer have a membership. Maybe they don’t ever have discounted tickets anymore? Keurig coffee in the office, not in the room. Complimentary snacks and water were nice.

Probably would not book again.
Check-in was not terribly convenient -- had to ring, and wait for someone to come to desk. Was handed a key and told which room was ours. No other introduction. I was either unable to figure out how to work the air conditioner, or it was broken -- the room never did get down to 76 degrees. The "grab and go" breakfast was a Keurig with coffee and tea and a granola bar -- not really a "breakfast'". I was disappointed.
Was disappointed that the restaurant was closed. Wish they had let people know ahead of time.
The self Checkin was ok. But kinda creepy at the same time.
Room and beds were nice enough though.
Very quaint little property. Enjoyed our stay. Nice fire pit. I would stay again. Can’t wait till the bar is open. Very clean and nice view of the mountain and right down the road from Manchester Center.
It was very pleasant, nice owners. Still renovating, but comfy. There might have been a slight plumbing issue, the plumbing seemed to be a little overwhelmed by volume of water after showers.
Room is clean and comfortable. Nice view. However, it appears that front desk barely exists and the room to eat breakfast is under construction. Also, no ice machine. All of this should have been posted and visible on Travelocity to better align custsomer expectations.
Most wonderful towels we have ever used. Big and fluffy! The walk-in shower was also wonderful. The room and property were very clean. The tv was quite large. We wished the beds were more comfortable. :/
Inn keeper was efficient and pleasant.
Looks like there's some renovations underway.
The setting was idyllic.
Great place to stay especially if you are on budget. Definitely not overpriced and very clean and updated rooms. Dave the yard keeper is great. Personable guy who welcomes you like family.
The setting was excellent with views of mountains.
The motel is ideal for younger couples and families, but not as good for older folks. The steps are too high and railings and handholds are needed.
