Basically a motel with a nice location. The room was very basic with very few amenities and a smell of cleaning fluid.

The overall impression was one of cleanliness. The shower was beautifully spacious. The decor was rustic and welcoming, and windows could be opened to let in fresh air.

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.

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.

My daughter and I stayed here for the Vermont Summer Festival Horse show. It was very convenient and close to the show grounds as well as Manchester's restaurants and shopping. The property was undergoing renovations when we stayed, so understandably things were a bit out of sorts. I would definitely stay there again. It was just fine for us, and the renovations will only make it better. Very cute property!

The room was clean and the bathroom was newly renovated. The bed was very comfortable. The owners were very nice and even got medicine for me when I got sick. The name of the hotel is Stamford Inn and restaurant, but no restaurant. I think it is under renovation.

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.

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.

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.

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.

To quote another review that I read before staying there, it wasn't the Taj Mahal, but it was clean, accomodating and friendly.
