8/10 Good
""Great location, and the staff made it right!" The room was on the smaller side, and we had an issue with the AC. The staff quickly gave us a new room and handled our luggage, so we didn't have to move it ourselves. We slept peacefully after that. The location is great, and there are plenty of options nearby for kids to play. We will definitely book again!"

Next day we went early and it was delicious! Hot tub was amazing which we used both nights. Overall, the views are gorgeous and highly recommend this hotel."

"This place was far nicer than it had any business being for a rambler motel and far nicer than you would think given the pictures. It is a very old motel but has been extensively and well remodeled (or is in the process of-workmen were there working on another room) and the room I was in was much nicer than most hotels I have stayed in. The staff (I think also the owners in this case) was very friendly and helpful and the breakfast was good."

"Stayed in a suite for 2 nights on a visit to see the leaves change. Overall, there were no major complaints. The property appears antique but well maintained. The suite we stayed in looked freshly renovated and was very clean and well put together. The staff were friendly and helpful. I heard that the normal rooms and rest of the property as a whole are undergoing further maintenance and renovations, so I’m excited to see it again this time next year. It’s seated right in Manchester, so everything you need to get to is within a 10 min drive, extremely convenient. 4/5 overall, would stay again."
