Our group of friends, 3 couples and a single stayed at the Palmer House in Manchester for 1 night . We drove up early and our rooms were ready when we arrived around noon - slow season for the hotel (mud season - mid April!). We had four rooms - 2 suites with jacuzzi tubs and sitting areas and 2...

Several ski areas were also just a short ride away. I've... More

My wife and I spent 2 comfortable nights here during a recent ski trip, we loved it. We've stayed at the Casablanca before as well and enjoyed our cabin (that place is rated #1 in the Manchester area), but I'd give Palmer House a slight edge due to the amenities, there's just more bang for your buck and the rooms...

Great value, caring owners, close to town and ski resorts. Rooms could use some renovation, but its still a great value. The rooms are large and clean. The owners are there to help in any way they can.

I like Palmer House. It's a great value and a hop & a skip from Northshire Bookstore in Manchester VT (oh and the factory outlets, and Orvis). The rooms are overly large, clean but a little dated in furnishings & decor. The lobby boasts its own doll display, golf clubs, and average breakfast (go to Bagel Works or Spiral Press... More

Rare find. Large and beautiful, manicured gardens include pond for rowboating, miniature golf, tennis, basketball and other activities. Owner's residence in grand New England style at entrance to 40 acre property, and the guest rooms' exterior echoes the architecture. Rooms are large, very clean and ultra quiet. Rest, play, tour the town and eat at any one of a dozen... More

This motel-style property, with a variety of room types, is quite lovely. While it lacks pampering and charm, it offers the amenities of a resort, like golfing and fishing. The rooms are new and large, with a couch and chair in the king-sized single variety. On a day warm enough, you can sit outside your room and enjoy views of... More
