I stayed for one night, and unfortunately it was a terrible experience. We could hear everything from our room, making it impossible to relax. My bed was right next to the connecting door to the adjoining room, so every noise came through. I had an awful night's sleep. We stayed in Room #30, and I hope the hotel addresses the soundproofing because it really affected our stay.

The location cannot be beat! Walkable to the beautiful village of Manchester and a 10 minute drive to the HITS horse showgrounds.
The grounds are expansive with pool, tennis and golf on site. The rooms are very spacious with plenty of windows and a small outside walkway with chairs to sit outside.

The outside and inside tiling need attention. The AC never worked, the sofa bed was broken with a very dirty sheet inside. The tv was tiny with no premium channels. No desk area. The walls are thin so there’s noise from next door. The morning breakfast was bagels, instant oatmeal, pitchers of milk and OJ and a coffee machine. I saw 1 sausage patty on the 3 mornings I was there. No hot breakfast. The weekend restaurant was never open. I stopped in at 8:45pm Fri night for a glass of wine and the front desk suggested I walk to the liquor store. The firepit was finally lit my last night after another guest complained and it’s quite pretty. That same guest said she enjoyed the outdoor pool but the indoor pool had not been open her previous 2 years stays. I asked if it was open at checkout and the desk said it was. I never got to see it myself.

It was not perfect but I would stay again in one of their newer rooms just for the location.

Spacious property & rooms in a great location. The amenities are 30 years outdated, sadly, considering the potential this beautiful land occupies. The pools needed refinishing (paint peeling & floating, grime stuck on floor & walls) slimy feel on the walls, the hot tub inside was running, but in a dark, sad corner overlooking the peeling pool. The outdoor spa was empty, filled with rainwater and leaves. The fishing dock was crumbling and adjacent to a sunken boat full of bottles & trash. Restaurant, closed. Breakfast was continental. Staff so nice. There were only 3 people on the property, but all of us next to each other with a parking lot view. Affordable, 1 star motel in a great location.

This place was so bad we left within a half hour of arrival. We arrived in the afternoon and the bathroom sink wouldn’t drain, so we were going to flood ourselves out washing our hands and brushing our teeth. The front desk said that maintenance was gone for the day (it was in the 4PM range) and there was nothing they could do. Also, the check in sheet said there was no password on the WiFi, but there was indeed one, that the front desk didn’t know. There was also a 2” gap under the door to our room, into the hall, so anyone could have stared into our room under it and also not safe in a fire. We had a window unit HVAC unit that was held in place by a bath towel. Do I need to keep going?

Stayed in suite room July 2026. On plus side, room was spacious and mostly clean and it was a short walk to downtown Manchester. But roof shingles were disintegrating and chips of it littered the deck. Shower had some black mildew. Sofa and chairs had the hardest cushion of any upholstered furniture I've sat in. Coffee maker unusable due to water left in it that promoted some kind of mold in tank. My request for new coffee maker and another set of towels was ignored. Indoor pool has lots of peeling paint and outdoor pool needed skimming - saw a plastic cup floating in it. Complimentary breakfast was not as good as typical chain. Disappointing stay.

I would definitely stay here again, but the property itself is a little run down. I'm sure that at one time the place was beautiful, but it appears that years of deferred maintenance could be taking its toll. The once beautiful marble walkways all around the place seem to be falling into disrepair, and the maroon canopies that cover several road-facing windows are now sun faded and sagging. While the walls, ceilings,and floors of our room seem to have been recently renovated , it looks like they just moved the same old nicked, scratched, and stained furniture back into the room. But the thing that was of most concern to me was that the Cable remote wasn't paired to the TV, making watching a World cup game very difficult that evening. The one saving grace was that, on a 90+ degree day, the pool was cool, clean, and used surprisingly little by the other guests. Also, the staff at the front desk were very polite and professional, both upon check-in and check-out .

Property was nice, well maintained.
Staff was helpful & friendly.
Would definitely think twice before returning due to the fact that our suite was very outdated… the windows were dirty with imprints on them, something that could have been easily cleaned… bottom of mini-fridge was not wiped down from a previous guest… I don’t like leaving reviews like this but based on the fact that there are other similar reviews, I wonder if the owner cares or just can’t get housekeeping that know what they’re doing(?)

When we checked in and went to our assigned room, it had not been tended to by housekeeping. The bed was a mess, room was a mess and it smelled. We went to the desk to let them know this and they were apologetic and gave us their last room which had 2 queen beds when we booked a king. Upon entering this room, the same thing happened. We took a picture and went immediately back to the office. They were apologetic but did not have any rooms available so we had to find a new place. They are supposed to refund our money but we are still waiting….

I do not normally give a mediocre review but I had to in this case. The view was great and the room had been redecorated not that long ago I feel but the bed had to be decades old. We got very poor sleep as the bed was sunken in in the middle into a big valley it wasn’t anything the front desk could have solved. So on our second night we put one of the pillows between us so we didn’t roll to the middle ( we are not heavy people either ) and we slept a little better. It also was very hard. The curtains were hanging off one corner and wouldn’t stay closed in the middle. There was a stick on the bathroom floor and the shower curtain also needed replacing as it was once white but very stained. The couch was a nice feature but cushion was also misshapen. The flooring walls and other amenities were ok. Could use some options for charging. TV only worked after I plugged in the HDMI cord that was hanging down the back.
Don’t think I would return unfortunately.

I did not like the fact to have to drive to the pool because it was raining. The gym very outdated. No water in the outside hot tub. Breakfast did not look good so we skipped it. The pond dock was falling apart, the boat was half sunk with cans littered in it. The pond itself needs upkeep. Ice machine was broke and the bar wasn't open. No microwave in the room. The rooms are nice just to many cons.

Check in was easy. Room was clean. Bed was comfortable. You can sit on the porch just beside your unit. You can sit on the patio sets with the propane fire pit. I needed to do some computer work and had to go out to the patio since there was not a table in the room. The wind made it difficult. The microwave had a special way to open it after cooking. A suggestion would be to place a note next to the microwave with instructions to hit stop button first, then push the open button in order to retrieve cooked item. It was pleasant to visit with others at the patio fire pit. Otherwise it was nice and relaxing. Breakfast was simple and nourishing, especially nice when someone else cooks. Insert smile here. We visited the little trails nearby and found a pond. There are games and sports equipment you can use, in the lobby.
Overall it was a reasonable stay.

The floor between the bathroom and the bedroom had huge holes in it, which was dangerous; the bathtub still had soap residue, making it slippery; and the king-sized bed was so worn out that my entire side sagged toward the floor. Let’s just say that for $260 USD, I was really unimpressed—not to mention the stains on the wall and curtains, the details of which I’ll spare you. Room 15

Staff were very nice and room was clean, however the images on the site are a little deceiving and not the “Resort” we thought we were staying. Basically it’s an older motel with somewhat updated rooms with very thin walls.

We stayed with my kids for one night, Property it’s very nice, a lot of activities. Breakfast is good. They give us house with 2 bedrooms it’s very old, need upgrades. Bed sheets are clean. But I don’t like the bathroom, shower is not clean, holes in the wall.

The staff was amazing, they helped me through everything, was very thorough and so friendly! I was visiting during a family event and they were angels in disguise! Alexis and Kayla were over the top with making sure I had what I needed, going out of their way to accommodate my needs. Michael was so endearing to my children, ensuring they had fun and and that we were well taken care of. I didn't get the morning ladies name, but she was also top notch with breakfast and recommendations. If you want to feel loved this is the place to be! The tennis courts, pool, hot tub, and fire table were highlights to our stay. Someone peeped a revamp and remodel in the near future, I hope that's true, but even if not... I would definitely return! Thank you palmer house for being a light in the dark!

Gentleman that checked us in was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was typical continental breakfast and was good. Had two rooms, first room was fine. Clean but air conditioning did not work. Second room, heat did not work and our first night was cool out. They did move the second room. Heat worked well in the new room, however had dead flies throughout. Pool and hot tub in need of a cleaning. Forget the gym equipment. It’s all rusted and in disrepair. Would I stay here again, no. But it is what it is, and it is cheaper than anything else immediately around. Overall property is in need of a major overhaul/update.

I am a family travel blogger who stays in hotels frequently with my husband and two young daughters. This was the most disappointing hotel experience we have had. We booked this stay for Mother’s Day weekend and arrived expecting a comfortable, family-friendly experience. From the moment we arrived, the property appeared noticeably run-down compared to what was advertised online. When we entered the lobby, there was a sign at the front desk stating, “Helping another customer. Be right back.” We waited approximately 15 minutes with no staff member present before leaving to take our children elsewhere and returning later. Upon returning, the front desk informed us that although I had reserved a king room with a sleeper sofa, the reservation had been entered for only two guests. I explained that we were traveling with our young kids and expected the sleeper sofa to accommodate them. Rather than offering flexibility or assistance, we were told the only option was to purchase an additional adjoining room.
What made this especially frustrating was that the hotel appeared nearly empty, with very few cars in the parking lot and clearly many available rooms. As a traveling family arriving on Mother’s Day weekend, the interaction felt unnecessarily rigid and financially motivated rather than customer-focused or accommodating. We no longer felt comfortable staying at the property and chose instead to leave. Because the reservation was made through Hotels.com we were not given a refund.

Location was perfect , convenient, near downtown.
Room was great , spacious , beautiful views, indoor pool was nice and big and also the hot tub , the only thing I wish that the pool was heated, water was very cold .
Breakfast was simple , not lots of variety
My only dissatisfaction was housekeeping , they never showed In the 2 days of our stayed , , we have to request towels at the reception and throw the garbage ourselves , definitely have to do better on that .
Overall love the location and the room .

The staff and maintenance services are great and the breakfast was really nice. However, the amenities area (separate building with the pool, hot tub and workout room) are dilapidated and require serious updating. I'm not sure these amenities should even qualify to be listed considering their condition they are in. This area moved the overall rating from 5 down to 4 stars.

-Ran out of hot water
-Ran out of toilet paper and staff unavailable
-Key stopped working late at night and had to call on call staff. Happened to multiple people
-there are front doors and back doors on each room. The front ones are not labeled so accidental knocking and opening of those frequently

The room was rough and smelled like weed. The toilet overflowed onto the floor. The staff was prompt in trying to fix it. When the couldn’t they gave us another room. This room the floor was destroyed and lifted, the plumbing did work though. And this room didn’t smell like weed. The outside lights were so bright it kept us up, along with the noise from the workers at the local ski mountain that were up all night. Not impressed at $345 for the night.

Toilet was overflowing and needed to call maintenance. He gave us a plunger in case it happened again. We had the king suite with gas fireplace which DID NOT work. One of the bedside lamps did not work. One of the bathroom sinks drained very slow. The worst was yet to come. The heat didn't work. Woke up to freezing 63 degrees in the room, even though I had raised the heat to 75. Had to get out of there quick to warm up in the car and left. For what we paid, there should have been NO problems. In fact, we shouldn't have had to pay for such SUBSTANDARD accommodations. Certainly won't be going back.

The rooms and facilities were very run down. The room was mostly clean though I definitely wouldn't consider it exceptionally so. The furniture was in rough shape and stained. The pool area, especially the bathroom area was very run down. The hot tub was also full of debris and hair. When we asked for 2 additional towels from the front desk they refused. And while breakfast was promised when we booked the room it was never provided, and a different excuse was used each day as to why there would be no breakfast.

We booked the room via Expedia they took the money. We showed up and they had no room available and told us money would be refunded next business day. Meanwhile we were stuck at 9pm in a tiny no gas town without a room and down 300$+. The kid at the desk offered us a muffin for our woes, then chased us to the car showing his phone which who knows what was suppose to do for us. Expedia needs to not do business. The Hampton inn next town 30m down, said this happens all the time there, so they upgraded us!

The photos on the internet do not match this hotel at all. We stayed here for an out of town hockey tournament and pulled up thinking we were going to a beautiful golf resort with super cute cottages. However, we found that the rooms we were given were nothing short of a budget motel and certainly not worth the $300 we paid for. This was a very disappointing stay.
