Like, you walk in...the keys to your room are in a basket with a piece of paper on the counter, name on that as well. It's very weird. I guess the ...the future? Lemme say a few things..good and bad about that. The Good! Ok...super convenient. In.....and OUT! You drop your key in the basket and bounce. No check-in or check-out. But see! AH! There is also some bad to that...."bad" FOREVER we have ALL dealt with front desk employees. So...we all have gotten used to that, right? Of course. There is some kind of comfort in having a front desk employee there. Thats about all the good...I would say lol The BAD! What if you lock your key in your room on accident? You are basically screwed. Not sure if there is a way to contact anyone to get you back in and yes....they are actual keys! Not the little cards we all see at regular, mainstream hotels. I DID! lock my key in the room the following morning. THANKFULLY! there was ONE employee there...BUT she was there to make the continental breakfast...which I will talk about in a min. She was able to give me my spare key. Thank God. If you need something in the middle of the night...oh well. There is no one there to assist you. They tell you where extra towels are and stuff like that on the paper you get when you check yourself in. It's an Inn...and Inn very close to the slopes. So when there is actual snow and the place is packed....I would assume its similar to being in a college dorm lol Don't get me wrong tho, place is very homey. The common room is incredible and I kept imaging it when I was there....FK! this would be so much fun during ski season and this place is full of people! HOWEVER! People drink and drink a lot. The walls here are THIIIIIIIIN!!! So be prepared for that! BRING. EAR. PLUGS! and use the in room ac unit for the fan to drown out noise from other rooms. You will need it. The views from the rooms are beyond incredible. I have some attached. Beautiful views of the slopes and in the Fall...the colors. The breakfast! FKN! INCREDIBLE!!! She put out all the basics, bagels and whatnot, full muffins...amazing! She made these cinnamon muffins....SO. GOOD!! I too a few home with me to give to my mom haha! Overall, it's a great place. Really is. I would definitely stay again. OH! They allow dogs....for a fee of course...even the super tiny ones. They will know too if you have a dog with you. Cameras....everywhere. It's located on a busy road..so keep a close eye on those pups. The grounds around the Inn are amazing. Cute little pond out back, sitting areas all around. It's a wonderful place. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone going through Manchester or anywhere near there. Very unique experience. I honestly can't remember ever staying at an Inn before. There is something definitely...better..about an Inn vs staying at one of the big hotel chains. Feels more like....a house? with lots of strangers haha! Thanks for reading, YelperBromleyians! Cheers!

My kids loved the inn and the great room gave us a wonderful place to connect with cousins but...there is very little soundproofing in the rooms and, as a result, it was a bit stressful to try to keep our two (under ten) quite enough that we felt we weren't disturbing other guests. We had issues with the Roku television maintaining a connection to the internet and the hot tub (while lovely) is directly outside a room - you can see into the room while you're sitting in the hot tub. Most other guests seemed understanding...but we definitely got a few frustrated glares.

Do not put your expectations too high and go skiing so that you are tired and easily fall asleep and you will not be disappointed. Remember, you're paying somewhere near $100 per night while other properties start around $200. Keep that in mind at all times. The good: - cheap (cheap is relative; this is cheap for a ski area!) - reasonably clean room - free wifi - comfortable beds - excellent shuttle to the ski area (never had to wait more than 5 minutes) - the staff was friendly - bar and dinner food (duck tacos+++, sliders ++, winter green salad+++) - windows that open and let in lots of light (I see some rooms could not make this statement) - hot showers and plenty of pressure - lots of plugs for computers and i-stuff - lighting was sufficient - cheap (did I mention it's cheap?) - working LCD TV with basic cable (bring an hdmi cable and you can connect it) The bad: - worst AC/Heat unit ever. It will never turn off! Ask to have it disconnected and get a space heater. - room to room noise; especially units above mine (123) - no coffee maker in the room The I don't care: - no lunch - no elevator - nice lobby with fireplace - ski storage in the room (come on build a ski storage area) - minimal free breakfast (I guess it's worth what you pay for it) If you want fancy do not stay here. If you lower your expectations they will be met.

Taking a shower was difficult because whenever someone else on our floor would shower the water temperature would drop to freezing then rise to burning. The outside of the inn is pretty like the surrounding area though for the day I was there it was raining and in the middle of the summer so no snow. The staff was helpful in that they tried to get us into our room early even though check in wasn't until 4:30. We ended up getting into our room around 3 so we had enough time to shower and get ready for the wedding that was down the street in the Chapel of the Snows which was an adorable little chapel. They do offer a free breakfast in the morning which consisted of cereal, muffins, bagels, yogurt, and/or fruit. Pretty basic but still good. This isn't a place where you'd stay if you were planning on staying in the rooms a lot. It's located near ski lifts and whatnot but I'm not a skier so I don't know much else about the rest of the resort. Since I'm not a skier or a snowboarder I've never been to other places like this so I have no subject of comparison aside from regular hotels. There isn't a whole lot in the area but there are a few restaurants and bars.

For the price everything was excellent! (hence my 5stars)…read more The location is great and convenient. The staff is the best I've come across in the area and my room was very nice with a fire place. The innkeeper is very nice and even built up a nice fire for us for free of charge! He took care of all our requests and is just a great person. Everything was very clean, the decor was well balanced and most important it was quiet. No crazy drunk college kids running around making noise. One of the best steaks you can get is made in the restaurant attached to the lodge. I was extremely satisfied with my stay and will return 100%.

Great place, very convenient location. The staff was…read moreextremely friendly. Our room was fantastic,very spacious, the bed was extremely comfortable, all the furniture looked renovated and nice. We absolutely loved the fireplace, it was very romantic. Housekeeping did a great job too. There are just two cons about this place- there was no fridge and no coffee maker in the room :( We stayed there for 3 days so we took food with us that i cooked prior to the trip and it was quite disappointing not to find a fridge in the room , and I had to keep the food in the car just so it doesn't go bad. So if you're not a tea- or coffeeholic like me and you are not planning to take food that requires a fridge , you will love this place! We will definitely go back!!

More than anything else, the owners are there to lend a helping hand to their guests. For example, John chauffeured my husband and I around for two days because our car was in the shop and we were waiting on a rental. For his hospitality, we will always be grateful. Hotel is clean and very convenient to Bromley. And the breakfast in the morning is simple, healthy and everything that you need before a day of skiing.

The husband and wife owners were working on renovations to some of the rooms and weren't opening to guests till December, but they let us stay in two finished rooms for the night. Very cozy and clean. The fireplace in the rec room was amazing. Owners were so kind, gracious and helpful. We are so thankful for your kindness and hospitality! Thank you very much!

The rooms were clean, showers are basic but hey, water is hot so whatever and they serve breakfast. I don't know what's there to do during the summer time in this town, but I love snow-sports. One thing I found peculiar is that when I made my reservation over the phone and went to check in, the lady said she already charged me. Is that legal?

Let me start out this review by saying that we are generally not B&B people, but the idea of…read morestaying on a farm (and I won't lie, visiting with their dogs) won out over the anonymity of a hotel and we went ahead of booked a weekend stay with Ed and Irene at Cold Moon Farm. It turned out to be a perfect life choice for a weekend of great conversation, goats, delicious food, and golden retrievers. Ed and Irene are wonderful hosts and it felt more like visiting long lost friends or family than turning up at a stranger's door. Their home is beautiful; we stayed in the Vermonter room downstairs, enjoying the pool table in the games area. It also wouldn't be a proper review without acknowledging Muriel and Charlie, their two gorgeous, friendly golden retrievers. Ed, Irene, and their staff were all gracious, friendly people. Matt was kind enough to let us tag along on the 6:30am chores (I know, most reviews talk about how much children loved meeting the animals - but these 30-somethings loved it too!) and we had the pleasure of meeting Sarah the next morning. The breakfasts were divine - fresh ricotta with honey and pepper, scrambled eggs, french toast, bacon, sausage, fresh baked bread with butter and jam, yogurt with granola - and all farm to table. Portions were more than generous and while I don't usually eat bread (and always say I don't miss it), I wound up having two pieces of Irene's bread with my breakfast. I'd miss bread more if all bread could taste like that! Irene was also kind enough to show us how she makes ricotta and yogurt, which we loved (almost as much as eating it!). The hosts and staff give very generously of their time and we absolutely loved our stay. We are already scheming excuses to go back to pet Muriel and Charlie, visit with Pippi (my favorite goat of all goats), and maybe convince Irene to let us take a cooking class with her (or try her pletzels). Thank you to everyone at Cold Moon Farm for a great weekend; I really can't say enough positive things about the experience. If all B&Bs were like this one, I could very easily see myself becoming a B&B person.

Irene and Ed are not just the caretakers but family. Personal care is extended completely from their conversation to the complete farm to table including homemade soaps, honey, homemade ricotta and long line of foods to table. The breakfast bacon was the best I've ever had! It began as their expansive family home that they've now opened up to those who are lucky to choose this place. My wife and I along with another couple, friend and family dog were welcomed completely. As there private home in the past it has a number of different floors. With a weight room, family entertainment area including TVs ping-pong pool table, games etc.. We are foodies and picky with our travels and meals. Warm and inviting with plenty of parking. Quite simply we have been completely satisfied and a special surprise of having made new friends.

The food came out quickly and was delicious, and the service was friendly and efficient. You can tell this is a place that's well run and cares about its customers. But what truly set TC's apart was Lauren, the manager. After our visit, my young son accidentally left behind a backpack that holds a lot of sentimental value to us. Lauren personally took the time to locate it and then mailed it back to us in New Jersey at no charge. That level of thoughtfulness and care is incredibly rare and meant so much to our family. We will absolutely be back anytime we're in the area, and we can't recommend TC's highly enough -- not just for the food, but for the people. This is how you create lifelong customers. Thank you, Lauren and TC'

This little New England restaurant, though, still had first-come, first-serve seating, and parking lot a bit crowded but found a spot at a corner to park. They originally had a 2hr wait for 14 ppl (we had a few tables ahead of us) but ended up giving us two tables if we were ok to cram together, which we were - super grateful for that! Didn't realize it before we went, but this shop was Kelly Clark's parents' restaurant, and the memorabilia was cool. Cheap beers and drinks, wings were ok (wings needed to be crispier and have more spicy buffalo sauce, the bbq version was just ok). The chowder was thinner compared to Anchor Seafood down the way, and the tuna nachos were ok (on light puffed rice chips w/ some seaweed salad to the side, mayo or similar across the top could've been better with some yuzu or ponzu sauce instead). Fried pickles were large and great, though, as were the fried cheese and pretzels. The truffle cheese fries were heavy but still needed more cheese and table didn't enjoy it as much. St. Louis Ribs were ok, but the Short Rib Stroganoff and the Lobster Mac N' Cheese were table favorites - and warmed up really well the next day with the generous portion helping balance the cost as it was basically two meals in one. Game and fun bathroom signs in the waiting area upfront. Staffers were busy but definitely worked to satisfy our tables' orders and needs and kept cheery while at it. Very tight seating spaces so make a note if you're on the bigger side, it may not be as comfortable depending on the seat you get. A bit spendier (there's food tax, LWB tax, and town tax...) but no credit card surcharge. Overall I'm giving this a 4 star b/c of the service. Food I've had better, but service was very helpful.
