We spent four nights last week to celebrate my wife’s 60th birthday which was in January. It was our third time staying at the Inn. Our third different room. We stayed in The Lady’s Slipper Suite. My wife couldn’t have been happier. A beautiful room and great staff !!! Thank you for a great stay !!!!!

Our suite was lovely. It turns out the main building was rebuilt (in the old style) after a fire, so everything is nice and fairly new. The furnishings are beautiful and the timer for the fireplace is a nice touch. The breakfast was good too (they will deliver a picnic basket to your room or the dining room). The staff was also very friendly.

This small hotel has absolutely everything you need or want. The room was EXCELLENT, the service was great. I had breakfast in my room and it was brought inside a picnic basket! Wonderful. I just loved the room, it was period type furniture, comfy and relaxing. I will go back. This IS the place to stay. I also had dinner there, at 5:30 pm, so I was the first one in the dining room. So the host and waitress turned on the fireplaces, my table candles and treated me like a queen. The food was great too. I'm a pretty picky eater and everything was perfect. Wonderful place!!!PLUS I got a ticket that got me in for free at Hildene - a bonus for sure!!!

From making our reservation to arrival and departure, the staff here are outstanding. We were only in for a night and all in all it was nice. The room can definitely use a bit of a refresh. I understand this is a historic inn but some furnishings and rugs are hurting and either need repair or replace. The picnic basket breakfast replacing a regular breakfast is a nice touch but is a shortcut. Offering is an egg sandwich which is never going to be as good as freshly made. Other B&B's in this area still offer freshly made in the morning at similar pricing or less for an overnight stay. Although we enjoyed the night, we would likely try elsewhere next time.

This was our third stay at the Inn over the past 8 years, or so. While we do still enjoy it, the place is looking a bit tired. (See photo of dirty arm chair.) Room cleaning, or daily housekeeping, is non existent due to staff shortages. Old buildings don’t have central air conditioning, but our window A/C unit really couldn’t cool our room on a September day! Really not quite a B&B anymore bc not enough morning staff to handle table service. (This is really a shame, bc we remember how great it was 4 years ago). What you’ll get is a nice breakfast basket, that you ordered the night before. You can still enjoy your basket in the dining room, but there is no service to go with it. Sad, but this may be a sign of the times. Dinner at the Inn is still quite good, and there are several excellent restaurants within walking distance to complement your visit to Manchester.
