Pros:

This property is just a few minutes out of town, not really walkable. Parking available right outside the room. The room was clean, the beds were comfortable and the towels were fluffy. Hot water immediate and plentiful. Tiled shower was spacious, with products provided. Room had a tv, air conditioner, microwave and fridge. We didn’t need the radiator, we visited in August. It DIDN'T have clothes hangers, bath mats, or anywhere to sit inside (except the beds). We did enjoy the view from the Adirondack chairs outside. It was reasonably priced, well located, clean and comfortable. I'd stay there again.

Sweet quaint inn
Pros:

Quaint inn like motel with stunning views and special touches I like a faux fireplaces and an outdoor fire pit. Clean with fridge and bed that rises. It's off the road but quiet. Perfect for a Manchester getaway!...........................................

Notify your maintenance department that your doors need to be checked
Pros:

Each time I left the room I had issues getting back into the room even with 2 keys. Not fun at 10 PM at night when its below zero. It took me 10 minutes to finally get the door open.
Room next door to me had a dog that barked during the night and in the morning. . Disappointing experience

Good,clean, no frills.

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

Pros:

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.
Pros:

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.

Cozy, clean and affordable.
Pros:

We discovered this great place to stay by pure coincidence and we would definitely return. Affordable, recently and tastefully renovated, the beds are very comfortable and the room is exceptionally clean. The bathroom has been renovated with a large tiled shower including shampoo, conditioner and body wash. The owner is super friendly and the staff are very attentive to detail. Snacks and a light grab and go breakfast are offered. It's fun to sit around the fire pit and watch the stars. We found the location great as it is close to shopping, good restaurants, hiking and site seeing. We would definitely give it a thumbs up!.

I’ll be back!!! So clean and just what we needed.
Pros:

Just wow! We came to check out the hiking and get away and couldn’t have picked a better place to stay. Their grab and go breakfast had Keurig a coffee maker and enough food to get me through to lunch. The rooms were clean, super comfortable bed and pillows, air conditioning and so quiet. We were able to hike Equinox, visit Abraham Lincoln’s son’s summer home and gardens in full bloom, and have 2 gourmet meals a few minutes away from where we were sleeping. A bonus was their fire pit when we got back after dinner. Happy to meet our hosts. I’ll be back.

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