Pros:

We were returning home after a long trip overseas. The Hanover Inn was the perfect spot to stay before driving home, and I have always wondered what it would be like to stay there. It was delightful!

Cons:

It was a bit pricey. However, I know from experience, that all the hotels in the immediate area, including the so-called "budget" hotels, are expensive. In this case, the convenience of its location made it the best option.

Pros:

Pet-accommodating, location, and very hospitable staff.

Cons:

Pine menu slightly misses the mark; it's so metro that the New England comfort food motif is lost. The lights in the room were on a Master switch that didn't turn them on ... apparently they live free or die as well. The liberal news is well represented on the brand new TVs, but the conservative news is blacked out. A little balance, maybe? The showers are amazingly high pressure and volume (loved it!), but try to turn them on without getting cold water soaking in the process. To emphasize: The staff was amazing.

Poor service
Pros:

I was very surprised and disappointed by the lack of coordination and professionalism, particularly when dealing with the accounting team. I tried calling several times to change the card used for payment, but no one ever picked up. I also sent an email, which went unanswered.

What made the experience even more frustrating was the lack of support from the front desk. Despite explaining the situation and our repeated attempts to resolve it, they seemed unwilling to help and simply kept transferring us to a voicemail that was never returned. Overall, the handling of what should have been a relatively simple request felt very unprofessional.

Aside from this, the room itself was acceptable, although there was neither soap nor shampoo in the bathroom, which was surprising. My father’s room also had an issue with the lighting that the team at Hannover was either unable or unwilling to resolve during our stay.

Dinner at The Pine was fine, although the restaurant had very little atmosphere.

Overall, the stay was disappointing, not so much because of the facilities themselves, but because of the poor communication, lack of responsiveness, and apparent unwillingness to help resolve relatively straightforward issues.

Stressful, then lovely
Pros:

Arriving at the hotel was stressful, as we had to pull into a very small unloading area from a busy city street. Then we had to pay a $34 parking fee for a valet to move our car to another parking lot. After we got settled in, we had a delightful stay.

Finally booked a room after close to 40 years!
Pros:

I graduated from Dartmouth in 1988 but this was my first stay at the Hanover Inn. No longer a poor student, I thought it was finally time. It was a comfortable stay and I do not regret not camping with some of my classmates at a mini-reunion. It was nice to have a clean and cool room and shower to come back to and a comfortable bed to seep in.

Convenient, grossly overpriced.
Pros:

The property is the most convenient if you want to be near Dartmouth campus, but it is grossly overpriced. I would not stay at this hotel again and will seek a more distant option.

Couldn't Be Better for My Reunion
Pros:

Beautiful, comfortable room. Great food and beverages in the restaurant - Pine. Valet parking was smooth and prompt at a very busy time. I called a couple of things to the attention of the front desk and a light bulb and slow drain were fixed right away.

Great place to stay.
Pros:

Great location, excellent staff, clean rooms. Only downside was the fitness center, seemed like an afterthought. Would have like a little more room than a closet.
