We had to change rooms because the old toilet wouldn't stop running in the first room. The second room was spotless except for the grout and cauking in the bathroom that was blackened. Everything else about the place was very good and very comfortable. The staff was kind and helpful. The continental breakfast included scrambled eggs and bacon that we weren't expecting. Overall we very happy with our stay.

Over priced & smells awful

We were in town for a hockey tournament & I requested a room with two beds vs a king. My friend paid significantly less than me booking through Orbitz and she got a huge, clean, sweet. Our room smelled like stale cigarettes & cheap air freshener. After spending our evening in my friend’s suite we got back to our room, we’re getting ready for bed & could hear someone in the next room over coughing. IT WAS AWFUL.

Great motel in a convenient location

Staff was friendly and helpful. The free breakfast was good, but should be served earlier than 8am on the weekends. The rooms were spacious, but the heat was too hot in the rooms and could not be turned down. The indoor pool was more like a cold plunge and the filter in the hot tub needed to be changed. Located in a cute town, with lots of shops and restaurants nearby.

The property is fine. I have come up here Christmas Eve for a number of years to go skiing at Stratton mountain. The property is clean and moderately priced.

Our suite was beautiful, and had a nice view from the deck. The jacuzzi tub was big enough to fit 2 in. The bathroom was roomy with his/hers sinks and a decent sized shower. The indoor pool, hot tub and workout area were just a short distance away (we chose to drive it due to icy conditions.) The breakfast was somewhat limited but very good (toast, bagels, bacon, scrambled eggs, yogurt, cereal, fruit, coffee and juices.) We would definitely stay there again if we are in the area. The only thing that wasn't working right was the fireplace, but they offered to come fix it and we refused the offer.

Homey Palmer House

Room was spacious and clean. Liked that it had wood look floors rather than carpeting. Well kept for an older property. Friendly staff and a respectable breakfast. There in an off season so not crowded.

For $300 a night this is a motel. There was not a mirror in the room and the bathroom vanity was so small we couldn’t get ready for the wedding we were there for . The bed was uncomfortable. There were 3 thermostats in the room, I’m not sure which one worked . Landscaping was messy and parking lot access had broken stairs .

Noah at the front desk was friendly, helpful and professional. She was wonderful. Our room was changed so we had a wonderful view of the Vermont mountains. The grounds were groomed and just as advertised.
