Stayed here recently for one night and I have to call out the high points. The grounds of the…read more"Castle" building are spectacular. It's so pretty and the landscaping and flowers are wonderful. We loved the pool and hot tub as well. It's very peaceful and relaxing. The Castle building really is gorgeous as well. The staff at the hotel are very nice and want to be helpful. We used the spa and it was okay. The gym is large and well equipped. I had a massage which was okay. The room I was in had a window which faced the road and the traffic noise was louder than the spa music that was playing so didn't lend itself to relaxing. The massage was over $200 so I didn't think it was a great value because I didn't really feel fully relaxed after it. Ask for a treatment room on the pool side of the building if possible. We ate at the restaurant and it was pretty good. Prices were high but seemed to be about on par with another meal we had in the area. Service was nice. Our room was okay...very spacious but the lack of outlets is tough to manage in 2025 with so many devices to charge. I understand the building is very old so I get that there aren't a lot of plugs. My Verizon connectivity was terrible in the whole area and due to a wide-scale outage, Wifi was not working when I was there, which was problematic because I had to take a business call. That and a couple of other issues with our room led to us leaving early to find someplace that had a working Wifi connection but I have to say the staff were helpful and understanding. It was the off season and I think maybe they were a little short staffed but I get that it's tough for businesses these days. Overall, this place was fine and it is very beautiful.

We booked a weekend getaway at Castle Inn Spa in Vermont after seeing the photos online, and I was…read moreso excited to stay here. The setting is beautiful, and the property has a lot of history -- over 125 years old and once belonging to Governor Fletcher, with only 12 rooms. Unfortunately, our stay was very disappointing. We checked into Room #9 and right away noticed issues. The bathroom door lock was broken, and I ended up getting stuck inside until my husband let me out. There were also many dead bees on the floor when we arrived, and by the next morning we saw live bees in the room. Since the windows didn't open, I had no choice but to kill them. Service was limited -- no housekeeping even when requested, and the hotel felt very understaffed (likely because it was off-season). The spa treatment was okay, but there was only one massage therapist available. The pool area was relaxing, but that was the highlight. The bee problem got so bad that we cut our stay short. Although we had booked for three nights, we left after just a day and a half, checking out at 9 p.m. on the second night because it became unmanageable. Staff sent a technician, but the only solution offered was to spray, and the bees kept coming back. The environment and historic charm are wonderful, but the property isn't being maintained to the level it deserves. Sadly, I don't see myself returning.

You are familiar with the phrase "put lipstick on a pig?" Sometimes you end up with a beautiful…read morepig, actually. Such is the case with the Brittany, which is an old-school 10-room motor lodge of the type that used to be operated as a Ma-and-Pa business by owners who lived above the office and did all the work themselves. Many of these hotels have disappeared, most that remain are of somewhat questionable quality. Not so the Brittany: it has been reasonably spruced up and operated on a streamlined basis, such that (seriously, to my surprise) I had a better two-day stay than I had at the last two Hampton Inns I've stayed at. As noted, this is a self-service motel (it's so lo-fi, I'm tempted to call it a lo-tel) where you get a text with your room code and number and you let yourself in. The rooms are basic but comfortable (this may be the only hotel I've ever stayed at that didn't have "hotel art" on the walls, which was honestly kind of a pleasant change of pace). There is a breakfast room of sorts -- "The Gathering Place" -- which is a converted former room that has a cold a la carte self-serve selection of things. (The hotel is refreshed mysteriously while guests are out and about; I was up at 5 AM and the coffee, according to the machine, had been made nine minutes earlier, but I never even saw an extra car in the parking lot. Stealthy!) I wish the Gathering Place had been open a bit later than it was, as I wanted to play one of the games I had spotted at breakfast, but using Elf labor probably requires they lock it up a bit earlier. Similarly, there's a nice fire pit with a mountain view and adirondack chairs out front, but it's a mystery as to how one might use the fire pit without logs and such available. (BYO Duraflame?) The setting is quite peaceful, and while I could hear stirrings from the room adjacent -- there's only so much you can do with old construction to soundproof it -- the other occupants were quite quiet. Around you is a whole lot of nothing, although it's just a few minutes south of Manchester center, so getting provisions is easy. No microwaves in the rooms, but there's a mini-fridge, stocked with some complimentary water. The TV was also the tiniest screen I've seen in a room since CRT TVs went by the wayside, but all I wanted to watch was the Red Sox game, and they had NESN, so I soldiered on. There are a few other nits I could pick, but the old-school full-sized bathtub was a pleasant surprise and a big upgrade over all the identical awful shower-only bathrooms in almost every hotel around these days, so I will gloss over those nits. One particular kudos on the amenities: there was herb tea with the self-serve coffee! THANK YOU! It's appreciated by those of us who like a nice tisane before going to sleep. So this isn't a five-star hotel like the Four Seasons, but it's a five star motel within its class - decent value for the money, well-operated, quiet. The quiet part is all I really want from a hotel stay (that and having a door that locks correctly) and the lovely surroundings and the very very low key breakfast were big plusses.

To start, our room was immaculate; upon entering our room, we were greeted with homemade shortbread cookies and flower petals on our bed to commemorate our fifth anniversary. Our room was perfectly clean and the bed was beyond comfortable. There were just so many little things that the inn had thought of- from Diptique toiletries to the most comfortable bathrobes laid out for us. After arriving, we spent the day meandering around the quaint town of Weston. Once the evening arrived, we arrived at the amazing Left Bank. The front desk helped us organize our reservation. One of the most enjoyable parts of our evening was finding out that the restaurant has their own sommelier to help us find the right wine! We had a cheese platter to start, steak frites, as well as ice cream and chocolate mousse for dessert. It was all divine! Once the evening winded down, the inn had everything to make us have a nice, relaxing, evening. We sat by the fire outside for some time and enjoyed the tranquility of the Weston. The next day, we were greeted with homemade blueberry muffins and coffee. We also stoped by their bakery, where they had a plethora of delicious breakfast and lunch options, such as farro salad and homemade rotisserie chicken. We are so sad to leave the Weston and will definitely be back soon. The highlight of our stay was: the amazing staff, impeccable attention to detail, delicious food, and the quaint town of Weston. This was one of the best stays I've had and cannot wait to return!

They were there when I needed them, but also gave the perfect amount of space and distance, even for an inn as quaint as this one. The location is very ideal, it's only a short walk (which I did twice) to the Vermont Country Store, and even though they're closed, it's just few more steps to the Playhouse and Theater Company. I'm a sucker for beautiful Millwork, and the room I stayed in was built so perfectly it felt like it was handcrafted. I'm attaching 2 pictures to show how detailed it was, and with all that detail there's an extra layer of soundproofing which is excellent because I was working remotely during the day. Along with that, the wifi was very fast and had no lags for video calls. From there, it's shut laptop, head downstairs to The Left Bank for a meal and a drink.

I'm gonna share these thoughts in no particular order. The hotel is incredibly dog friendly. That really stuck out.They're human friendly as well, but they are especially dog friendly. My impression of the hotel is that the Kimpton brand is so incredibly good at bringing outdated into today and still keeping the classic or historic elements in place. You can see that here through some of the photos I shared. Feel free to grab a bike or a scooter from the front and take a ride around town or around the property. If you brought your dog, grab a stick from the dog stick library and if you need to sit down and have a drink, every evening at five there's a Social hour where you can meet your neighbors and play some checkers over a glass of complementary wine or beer. There's usually some sort of snack involved and plenty of activities inside or out. The entire staff is friendly and genuinely helpful. It might be an act, but it looks like they enjoyed being there. I would highly recommend staying here if you're in the area. Here's a couple more notes. They have activities from bocce ball to a swimming pool, and the library is full of activities for people of all ages. Don't forget to grab a complementary cup of coffee in the morning on your way out for the day. The property and the rooms were always clean and the AC works like a charm.

Checking in was easy and the rooms were standard; they were spacious and clean. We had two queen beds, coffee machine, a large TV, and mini fridge. The room was quiet, we didn't hear any of our neighbors. We noticed it was kid-friendly also. I think they definitely get more busy during the winters because of skiing and snowboarding season. There are many mountains and trails nearby. Parking was spacious and the customer service was good. The heated pool area was nice and they had a game room with arcade games and a pool table; there was an iTunes machine but it was down. I noticed a couple of vending machines if you have a snack craving. There's a restaurant onsite but we didn't dine there. The town of Ludlow was a few minutes away and it had plenty of shops and restaurants. Overall, we had a good stay and would definitely stay there again!

I am genuinely at a loss as to how this place has any good reviews. I would not stay here again,…read morenor would I recommend it. I have two good things to say- it was clean (which admittedly, is significant and pretty much the only reason I gave it a star) and the price was cheap (reflective of the quality). There are two properties- the Castle and the Pointe. I stayed at the Pointe, so I can't speak to the quality of the other, but you should be aware that they appear to be entirely different experiences. The Pointe would be easy to miss because it doesn't look like a hotel. Pulling up, you'll think you're at some sort of late 90s apartment complex or assisted living facility. The room I stayed in was pretty much a rebranded 1992 Holiday Inn, complete with the overwhelming stench of stale cigarettes (complimented by mildew) which was ironic because there is a 'no smoking' placard prominently displayed on the farmhouse-style dresser. I can get past the decor though, that's not a big deal and can even be charming. What matters to me is that the room is clean and the quality is decent, meaning things are in working order, etc. That was not the case here. By far, the biggest issue for me was the air conditioning. It is August. I expect a place that brands itself as a resort to have working air conditioning. It was off when I walked in, and the room was stifling. I turned it on, but immediately noticed it wasn't blowing cold, or even barely blowing at all for that matter. I gave it some time, but it never improved. When I brought it to the attention of the front desk, the response was fairly dismissive and standard "we'll move you to another room if you're not satisfied." While I appreciate that options are limited, relocating is not a small feat for me with mobility issues. I was told not to unpack my things, and just wait. When a technician came to look at it, he said it should be fine in about "ten to fifteen minutes" and miraculously, it was. What I didn't know is that this is apparently a common and ongoing problem, and someone has to manually reset the condenser. What I also didn't know is that the fix is only good for an hour or two and then it will go back to barely blowing (warm) air. Around 1am, I woke up sweating. The thermostat confirmed that the actual temp in the room was a good twelve degrees warmer than what it was set at. I called the front desk and the man working the overnight shift immediately knew what the issue was. I requested a fan and the condenser was reset but again, was only good for an hour or two and around 4am, I was sweating again. When I stay at a hotel, I usually take my time in the morning. I feel like if I am spending the money, I'd like to get at least 12 hours out of the stay and enjoy the property. That was not the case here. I didn't even shower, just woke up and got out as fast as I could. I was so hot and uncomfortable, I just wanted out. Some of this could have been forgiven, if not for the fact that 1) this is clearly an ongoing problem that has not been properly addressed, 2) with the exception of the young woman who checked me in, I found the staff to be stiffly polite at best and outright rude at worst. I did wonder for a moment if I was being overly sensitive or judging too harshly, but then while I was standing there, another guest told one of the women at the front desk that she was blatantly rude. In addition, I unfortunately have need of a service animal- from which you can deduce that there is obviously a reason for that. I asked at the front desk about rubbish bins to dispose of poop bags and I was told that I would need to throw them in the dumpster, so I asked if it was easily accessible. I was told it was. It was not- please see attached image. Worse- just a word of advice- if hotel staff is going to speak negatively about guests, perhaps wait until they are out of earshot. Hearing negative comments conveying annoyance about me and other guests, rather loudly, rubbed me very badly. In addition to all of the above, the handicap door access was broken- an issue for me as I was trying to navigate moving my bags into the building, and no one offered to assist or even hold the door, although they certainly saw me struggling. The ice machine was broken. Wifi not secure. The refrigerator was broken and my coffee creamer spoiled. The toilet worked but made a very alarming and disturbing grinding sound every fifteen minutes. The bed was AWFUL, completely sunken in the middle so that no matter how I repositioned my body, I would roll into a groove in the center. And no microwave is accessible, so you have to hand your food over to a staff member for them to take it in the back and microwave it for you. This is insanely unsanitary. Spend $30 and put a microwave in the lobby. This could be a decent property but without properly functioning facilities or welcoming staff, I just didn't find redeeming qualities. Solid no.

Three days later 196.00 was charged to my credit card AFTER I paid 213.00 for the room. When I called, the male owner was combative and told me he had the right to charge me (without my knowledge). He then hung up on me and blocked my number. If I was going to pay 400.00 for a hotel room, it would not be at an out of date motel with a sorry excuse for a continental breakfast. Do NOT stay here, read other reviews as well.

We did have to leave 1 day early due to a big quick-onset snowstorm that would have been really unsafe to drive back through for hours if we stayed, and are waiting to hear back about a refund for that last night. We were told by the front desk the manager wasn't available at all the day we needed to leave, and we did leave by checkout time. We provided all our contact information and also had the third party booking agent also reach out to the manager. We are waiting for a response from the manager and I have also left a voicemail since we left. I will update the review accordingly if I'm able. Thanks. Update: We did contact Expedia and you and they also chatted with your motel directly on the phone; your motel denied the refund, not Expedia and it's important that's clear here.
