We had a great quick one night escape. When it says "View" it means it. Spectacular views in every direction. Staff were welcoming and helpful, breakfast was perfect mix of thoughtful choices. We were blown away by the renovations, modern and thoughtful, but maintains a VT sense of warmth. read more

Our stay here was good. It's a nicely renovated motel close to town with friendly staff. For a lower price than a standard hotel room at the Hampton Inn, we had a spacious two room suite with two bathrooms! Continental breakfast is included. You fill out a slip with your selections the night before and drop it in the box by the breakfast room, then go there to pick it up the next morning. The motel is high on a hill with lovely views of the turning foliage. Be warned, if you are approaching the motel from the East, there is no sign facing that direction. It was hard to find in the dark. read more

Beautiful inn with everything perfect. View of the mountains was wonderful. The king size bed was comfy as were the tub chairs facing the sliders to the deck. A nice gas fireplace was in the room and provided added warmth and ambience. And- physical room keys! No key cards, no phone apps. Just a regular key read more

We stayed over Memorial Day weekend. The view was spectacular on the sunny and rainy days we were there. Staff was great and mingled with us at the complimentary breakfast. It was delicious with locally made baked treats. The rooms were remodeled and very clean. Best deal we could find in Manchester! read more

Fabulous property. Stayed in the green mountain suite and the bathroom was insanely huge. We freaking loved it. Staff were all very friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was simple but free and enjoyable. If you're looking for a cooked breakfast you'll need to go off property. Very reasonably priced and not far from the center of town. read more

We have stayed here 3 times in Feb and will keep coming back! We love the room with 2 king bedrooms. It has a great living space and we use the fire place every day. Close to town for breakfast and dinner (they do a light continental breakfast but we have never tried it) the rooms are dated, but everything is very clean. Lots of space to dry all the layers after skiing. Great views read more

My favorite place to stay in all four seasons. The staff is lovely and the place is clean. The comforts of home in a comfortable environment and perfect mountain views. read more

Simple but beautiful room with incredible view out slider of a mountain and mountain-side houses, like a Currier and Ives painting of New England. Very comfortable bed and complementary continental breakfast. Located in Manchester with many shopping outlets and restaurants. read more

My boyfriend and I just came back from another anniversary trip to Manchester, Vermont and I think it's pretty clear how much we love this town (this was our third visit to the area). We've been at home since January so we were happy to learn that the hotel had availability for us for the last week of August. This was our second time visiting the hotel and it's as beautifully isolated (it's in the mountains) as we remembered. Our dog had the time of her life in those huge fields on the property. Our five days were as relaxing as humanly possible. Our room was upgraded to a suite (the Norman Rockwell suite, to be precise) that had a jacuzzi, fireplace, two TVs, and a back patio with seating: it was incredible. I love this place so much. The weather was incredibly autumn-inspired, so I wasn't even mad that I only made it to the outdoor pool once. In town, we ate many Baja tacos, some vegan burgers, and a few salads. We'd never gone to the restaurant Seasons on any of our past trips here, and it was great! Have to remember that if we go again. Of course we went to the bookstore in town since they always have the best postcards. So glad we were still able to travel this summer, even if it was only a short trip. It gave me a chance to actually miss New York, which is always a good feeling. read more

Beautiful hotel. Tranquil n relaxing. Not your typical chain hotel. Super comfortable beds, nicely decorated rooms, fireplace, deck w a view of mountains. Staff awesome. Robin went above and beyond to help us. We got lost hiking and were so late. Everything was closing. She made sure everything was set for us and also helped us find somewhere to eat in Bennington after we dropped off rental. Talk about hospitality! Definitely recommend to anyone staying in Manchester! read more

Excellent stay and accomodations were accessible with made-to-order-sheet breakfast in the center "street level". Welcoming attention to details were all matched and friendly customer service with e-statement/payment notices saved on waste on paper & power. Conservation at it finest & Hospitality - Priceless. read more

WE LOVED IT! We just stayed for one night but it was such a cozy little cottage I wanted to stay longer. It's nestled on a little hill and was so quiet and peaceful. The bed was very soft and comfortable, the sheets were fresh and crisp and the under blanket was soft and plush. I usually have trouble sleeping but I slept very well and soundly. The little deck led out to a spacious well maintained yard. We were able to go out and see all the stars, something you rarely see with such clarity in NYC. The staff was very nice and helpful with informing us about what to do in the area. They provided a gracious continental breakfast. I hope we come back soon for a longer stay! read more

Very nice hotel. We stayed in a standard queen. Beautiful room with lots of space to hang out and work. Comfortable bed. Lots of heat. Huge bathroom. Good water pressure. We were very comfortable. For some reason we didn't see that your room opens to the outside, a bit like a motel. But that wasn't an issue just be aware. As I said the rooms were very nice. I have to say I might have paid extra for a room with a fireplace had I known there was no common space. The breakfast, on paper sounded like a standard breakfast, but was actually quite good. Warm muffins. Lots of yummy fruit. Oatmeal and yogurt. Bagels. Everything you need. The highlight of breakfast was Amanda, the server. First, we dudnt expect a server, so that was quite nice. But second Amanda was a lot of fun to talk to. She loved our son and made us feel very at home. Great place to stay and amazing value for the money read more

My bf and I decided last minute to do a VT overnight knowing the weather was going to be perfect and we wanted to drive up Equinox mountain. Found this gem. I could be wrong but pretty sure any room you're in you'll have a beautiful view. Stayed in the Norman Rockwell room which was a great size (2 rooms), fireplace, king bed, jacuzzi and a huge private porch. The place exceeded my expectations from the kindness at the front desk, the cleanliness of our room and the unbelievable upkeep of the property. My only complaint would be the bed, If you toss and turn a lot of your partner tosses and turns a lot you'll get no sleep, it's quite noisy. Overall my favorite inn this far. I look forward returning read more

Our family had a very fine stay at Manchester View. One of the aspects that set this apart from other places I have stayed was the meticulous care shown by our check-in agent, and staff in general. The room was very spacious and quite comfortable. The back deck was a great feature, and the outdoor pool was very refreshing. Parking spaces were conveniently at the rooms so loading in and out was easier than ever, particularly useful during pandemic. I did wish that the lighting on back deck could be controlled for stargazing purposes. Since they left it on a timer setting I didn't know if it could be adjusted. This was such a beautiful area. A short 6 minute drive away was downtown Manchester and some restaurants. Great value here, would gladly stay again. read more

One of the most beautiful most romantic getaways ever!! The views themselves were amazing. Especially with the colors of the trees. The rooms were both cozy and big. I wish we would have stayed another week. Will definitely come back again, maybe next time in the winter months. read more

The Manchester View - Hotels Near Me - Manchester Center, Vermont

WOW==One word description as I check in to our room for an anniversary weekend. We loved our accomodations with our wood burning fireplace and views to die for of the fall leaves (colors lingered another weekend over their peak). Our deck gave us full view of the grounds and the prestine grounds of Manchester View. My only wish is that they offered free hot breakfast since it was a bit pricey, but going out for breakfast was a treat in the local area. Looking forward to our annual anniversary trip next year. read more

Enjoyed a five night stay at the Manchester View in the Pearl Buck Room. We had our own gas fire place that was a pleasure to come back to after spending time in the cold outdoors. Had everything we needed. Quiet, clean, and good location. Two minute drive to Manchester Center. read more

Wanted to shout out to this place for a service that's probably not the norm for things left behind. My mom, who is hearing impaired, left a special vibrating alarm clock under her pillow at the motel. She had realized this after she got home and thought that it had probably been thrown out. So, without her even calling to inquire about this left behind item, she was thrilled to get a delivery to her home. . . Her alarm clock. Above and beyond customer service. Kudos to the motel. read more

This place is a motor lodge and is really not intended to be anything upscale. Taken in that context this place is above average. The rooms were small but had everything needed to be comfy. The beds were fine and the bathrooms were clean. The grounds are super nice and that's what separates the Manchester View from comparable motel type places. There's a huge lawn where you can lay out and catch some sun or throw a frisbee around. Also there's a heated pool that was actually warm and very clean. The views from the pool are superb. You're able to look down the mountain valley and catch a great view of the Green Mountains. If you're looking for posh then this isn't the place from you. If you're looking for an adequate night stay at a clean, comfortable motel then this will suit you just fine. Quick note: they charge $3.00 for the continental breakfast but it's just not worth it. There's a Dunkies in town where you can get all of the coffee and bagels you need. read more

Booked a Mountain View room for a very short stay overnight as I was up in area for a business meeting. Checked in without too much of an issue although the complimentary breakfast would require me to fill out a form, deliver it to a specific room and go pick it up in morning. Weird, but ok, I declined breakfast anyway. Got to room, dated but the view was great. Only 2 cars in whole lot. As I was traveling with a nurse due to being recently release from hospital and couldn't drive & needed some assistance, we brought sandwiches in from GILS (in Rutland huge 5 stars) and just sat down to eat at the small table. Then came a phone call from the front desk informing me that there were complaints coming from another room and they would need to move us. At first I thought it was a joke, but receptionist was dead serious and continued to insist that we must be removed from that room. I said no, there was a mistake and she should doublecheck. She declined, offered to move us to an upgraded room, and I said no, I'd like to talk to her superior. She said "you can't". She continued to insist we move and I said we would just leave and take a refund. She said "no refunds". Long story short we left and now disputing charge with credit card company. My job requires me to travel (pre covid) weekly all over the country/world... this was the worst experience ever. Ended up at Equinox which was spectacular. Long story short, skip this place. Rooms are mediocre at best, outdated and dark, breakfast is a joke, Management is unprofessional. Much better accommodations closer to Manchester Center or Dorset. read more

1/5 This motel/hotel/lodge whatever they call it has the potential to be amazing but my experience was not. I upgraded to the Ethan Allen room which is a large studio apartment with a fridge, coffee machine, etc. I was very happy there until something started biting me the first night I was there. I let it go because it is the mountains and I had the windows open but the next evening it continued and I had welts and puncture marks which are the hallmarks of bed bugs. I started checking the bed and found a colony of small black eggs just waiting to hatch. So I called the desk and they changed my room but then didn't take me seriously about the bugs at all. I never heard from the manager who I was told by reception said they never had them before and I can just imagine what the next person who stays in this room will find. Also, if there are bed bugs then all of the promises about deep cleaning for Covid-19 go straight out the window. So at this point, I would not stay there again. read more

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Manchester View for the weekend and we couldn't have been happier. Not sure why people are talking about this place being no frills and basic. We went to Vermont wanting a rustic country getaway. This place was just that! Great location, king bed, fireplace, jacuzzi tub and overlooking the snow capped mountains. Is it the Ritz? Of course not, but that's not what we came expecting. It was clean and comfortable and just what we wanted. Thanks for a lovely weekend! We will return! read more

We've stayed here quite a few times over the years. We've tried the specialty rooms before,but this time stayed in a standard queen room. I am unsure if the bed was actually a queen(it seemed smaller). The bed's mattress was extremely uncomfortable. It may be time to replace the mattress in room 102. Having said that the stay was OK. The complimentary breakfast was good even though due to Covid we couldn't have in the breakfast room. The rooms are always clean, the views as always are beautiful which are two of the reasons we stay here. read more

We just stayed in the lovely village of Manchester, VT (Really, it can't even be considered a town; it's just tiny!) for a night in mid-September. Traveled to Manchester for just a quick trip, so this review is based on a first time, one night stay. Our needs were absolutely met by the Manchester View, but I wasn't completely satisfied. Diva? Maybe. *wink wink* Here's my lowdown: Pros: ~ Pretty comfy Queen-sized beds ~ Really spacious, clean rooms ~ Very close proximity to great shopping and dining ~ Absolutely gorgeous views from our balcony (breathtaking, really) ~ Flat screen TVs (Shouldn't all hotels have them?), DVDs, high-speed wireless Internet access ~ Cribs available (Actually, Pack-n-Plays, but it's all good); definitely family friendly, but seems like it would be good for a couples' weekend, too. ~ Refrigerator in room. Definitely came in handy for storing opened formula! Cons (more like annoyances, I suppose): ~ Overpriced. We paid almost $150 for a single night, during a non-holiday/non leaf-peeper/non-anything season (& midweek!). We had the most basic, absolutely no frills (compared to the descriptions of hot tubs, fireplaces, etc in other rooms) accommodations. I actually negotiated the price down (over $20). We were comfortable, but we felt a bit slighted about the lack of... well, anything, for the price. ~ Breakfast not included... Are you KIDDING me??? Firstly, there is no option for a "hot" breakfast whatsoever. The "light" breakfast (bagels, muffins, cereal) is $3/pp. Here's my thing... I love breakfast. And when I'm staying in beautiful Vermont, at a supposed "fine lodging... AAA 3 Diamond rated... Manchester, VT's best AAA accommodation" (from Manchester View's website), I want a freakin delicious, homemade country breakfast. It's not about the three bucks; I just don't think I've ever stayed anywhere that didn't include coffee and "continental breakfast" at minimum. And I wanted me some waffles. ~ OK, this one's probably a bit petty, but by the time we got to the hotel/motel, it was late, and I noticed in the bathroom there were two bath towels. Two. For two adults, a teenager, and a baby. The front desk was closed, so we were pretty much towel-deprived. For a reservation of 4 people (alright, 3 1/2) ;o), I would love at least 4 towels. Now I understand that maybe my hotel standards are a little (or a lot; I'm embarrassingly, admittedly high maintenance) more obnoxious than the average person. If you are looking for basic, clean, *overpriced* motel-like accommodations, stay here. There are many lodging options in the area, though, so my suggestion is to do a little research before you go. *A-OK 3-star rating seems to fit perfectly.* read more

We stayed in the standard queen room, small very cozy and warm! Regular bathtub in this room and the fridge is in the bathroom which I thought was funny. Didn't make it to the breakfast. They do have the maid service and I didn't know so when we came back from our outing all of our things where moved and touched and folded. Our back porch was shared. read more

As nice as could be! The property is immaculate as are the rooms. The owners Pat and Tom are so caring and nice. I would recommend this to anyone. All the staff are very thoughtful. Room was spacious and spotless. Great place! read more

Basic, basic, basic. After staying in a quaint Massachusetts hotel for less, this was a huge disappointment. The woman at the reception desk was snooty (less than welcoming). The bed occupies the majority of the room and the room is totally black at night, making a trip to the bathroom a real challenge. The fan in the bathroom is extremely loud. At a midweek room charge of $130, value would not be the adjective attached to Manchester View. read more

I think reviews are important when a place or business is far different than it is advertised as. I was at The Manchester View for a weekend in late June of 2014. The ads and sign out front of it declare, "Fine Lodging Since 1977." I can't imagine who would think this is fine lodging, especially with the other marvelous inns and B&Bs in that area. This is a motel with an awesome view of the mountains. It was clean enough but only a 3 out of 5. Mildew is on the bathroom walls and rusted walls around the radiators isn't "fine lodging" in my book. The decor of the place is basically flash-frozen in the 1970's, actually 1970's country-kitsch. The pool was VERY nice but very small. That, and view, are the only reasons to stay here. The truly aggravating thing about this place, excluding the extortionary $198 an evening price tag, is the $3 they charge you for breakfast. It is coffee and a muffin. That is it! Friends stayed at sumptuous local B&Bs in Manchester and had awesome, full breakfast buffets for NO ADDITIONAL FEE on their rooms that were comparatively priced, but not us. We drank our $6-worth of coffee and chewed on a small muffin and were RIPPED-OFF for that one, I'll tell you. No "fine lodging" in the rooms or in the breakfast room, for sure. Your $500-PLUS bill for two nights won't make you feel as if you had a "fine lodging" either. There is NO STAFF AT ALL on the location after 11 p.m., and our drunken neighbors being locked out of their room at 3 a.m., kicking and screaming at their door, waking everyone around them up with no staff on site to assist ALSO didn't reflect "fine lodging." This place is grossly over-priced, needs a wake-up call on that 1970's decor, and should SERIOUSLY rethink nickel-and-diming overcharged guests for a crap breakfast. There are MANY other much nicer, comparatively priced inns and B&Bs in Manchester. Do yourself a favor and skip this Mountain View and go have a good, complimentary breakfast somewhere else. Thank you. read more

Ridiculous cancellation policy. We booked a room for a weekend October, 2015 and had to cancel 10 days later. They gave us a credit for our room less a $35 cancellation fee for a weekend almost one year in the future. Buyer beware! read more

I decided I wanted to go away for a little getaway with my husband to celebrate my 40th birthday. I had never been to Vermont before and chose the Manchester View because of the fabulous reviews. It did not disappoint. We stayed in a king premium room complete with a deck and a wood burning fireplace. The room was beautiful and charming. The staff was extremely friendly. I cannot wait to go back for another visit. read more

Be sure to make sure your room is available. We booked months in advance, only to arrive after a 6 hour drive, to be told the owner gave our room away. They did find us a room at another property and refunded our money, but too little too late. read more

My husband and I stayed here this past weekend in one of their cheapest and smallest rooms. The room and bathroom were very clean. It's true the room is small, but for $90/night I won't complain. We weren't crazy about the deck since it's not private for the smaller rooms. Housekeeping is done early in the day, which is nice to always come back from breakfast and have the room cleaned. We didn't do the $3 breakfast because we wanted to fill up on more than just carbs. If you're looking for a reasonably priced and clean place, this is perfect! read more

Such a wonderful place. We returned for our 5 year wedding anniversary. The people were so friendly on the phone. They were able to find the same room we stayed 6 years earlier when my husband proposed. When we arrived they had left champagne and chocolates in the room for us. What a nice surprise! The power went out during a terrible storm. They called to make sure we were ok and if we needed anything. The room was great, very clean. Will definitely be coming back. read more

This is a lovely lodge run by very welcoming people. We've stayed here twice and were bowled over by the cleanliness, decor, attention to detail in the rooms but also by the honesty and welcoming nature of the staff - they actually upgraded (no charge) us to one of the special rooms on our second visit. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for high quality and a great total experience. read more

Staff tried their best and succeeded in helping us get an early check in for a nearby appointment. Not a luxury, but more than adequate, good value and good location. Not charging for continental breakfast. read more
