Best Hotel on our Vermont Trip

Excellent all around. Loved the room, so comfortable and well furnished and, of course, the balcony looking over the river. Easy check-in and they accommodated my request fro a ground floor room. Parking right outside your room which helps a lot when you have a ton of luggage. We don't travel light!

The staff was very helpful and welcoming. The area was very safe but had limited options to do stuff. The room itself was kind of disappointing - the windows didn’t close properly, there was mold in the PTAC unit clearly visible on the vents, and the shower didn’t drain the water efficiently resulting in standing water while showering. The light in the porch didn’t turn off at night and we had really bright light coming into the room at night. The window had a see through blind so it didn’t help keep the light out. The walls were also really thin and we could clearly hear the people next door having a conversation. The property could definitely take some repairs and upgrades.

This is a perfect family oriented spot for visiting downtown Woodstock. We stayed in one of their family suites. It was spacious and comfortable without being ostentatious. Loved the details in the outdoor space--well tended plants and flowers, as well as, fire pits and Adirondack chairs to hang out by the river.

Get away to Vermont

Nice get away spit in the country. Very clean and bed was comfortable. Fire pits were lite each night to sit out and enjoy. Short walk into town for shopping and eating. A market across the road was very convenient.
