I can appreciate a vintage property and there are many things about this hotel that are charming. That said, my spacious King room overlooking the front of the hotel had a window a/c and vinyl blinds that did nothing to block out the streetlights all night - like sleeping with the lights on. At 4am the train whistle blew about 2 blocks away and seemed like it kept blowing until 5am. The bathroom was “remodeled” to accommodate an open shower/wet area in one corner and a toilet 6 inches from the opposite wall. The toilet base literally rocked from side to side, which I reported. I wish them well, but this was a hard night that I will not be repeating.

As soon as you enter the hotel, you notice a strong smell of dampness. There are old carpets throughout the building, and it really doesn't smell good. The room was only moderately clean—there were insects in the bed and the bathtub, the ceiling was cracked from past water damage, and the carpet smelled musty... However, the service was excellent, and the welcome was great!

This is an interesting, old facility, probably best suited to a budget traveler who is using Amtrak (extremely convenient), wants a small town experience, or has something to do in town at the theater, or in nearby Lebanon or Hanover, NH.

The check-in was quite personable.

The facility itself feels a bit like an ancient aircraft carrier. The upper floors feature long corridors. A portion has been given over to Hostelling International and operates on that basis. Creaky and uneven floors seemed pretty common. The furniture in the room, especially the chairs there, were the wrong side of the divide between shabby chic and shabby. Hot water took quite a while to arrive and the shower and tap water had a noticeable metallic taste and smell. That last aspect of this stay led me to alter my subsequent night’s stay on our journey to a chain hotel with a good shower.

There was a squadron of cleaners the morning we departed.

Of particular interest, the ground floor of the hotel structure is home to an impressive array of commerce. A walk around its perimeter demonstrates how significant that aspect of the Hotel Coolidge is to White River Junction. That aspect alone draws attention to this place, and makes it interesting.

The breakfast vouchers make a relatively expensive — though tasty — breakfast less so. If you’re really on a budget, they might be of limited value.

Definitely has character.
Be prepared for a very slow check-in.
The floors are very very slanted.
They highlight a New England visual artist in their lobby.
It is clean.
I've never had this happen in the US before, but they required IDs from both adults.
They do not offer breakfast, but rather give you a $4.50 voucher for nearby restaurants which start at $8 - 10 for breakfast sans coffee..
The hot water disappears while taking a shower - I think this might be because others are flushing. ..

Overall, the stay at Hotel Coolidge was a lot of fun -- truly a nice and historical hotel. Everything from the large stairway bannisters to the floor creeks to an actual key (!!) to get in the room! The building obviously takes so much to keep it up and running. Some of the amenities that others might desire didn't work well or weren't available (TV, breakfast on site, other up-to-date features), but those didn't affect us. There are many restaurants and bars in walking distance, and the neighborhood is quiet and safe. Thank you!

The bed was comfortable and we were thankful for the ac that we could control in the room. Lots of easy walking and interesting places to eat in walking distance. Only downside is the parking so be prepared to walk a bit. There are a few handicapped spots right outside. Would certainly come back and stay again. It is a rare treasure.

My husband and I have stayed overnight at the Hotel Coolidge on many occasions. It is conveniently located near Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. The owner and staff are always friendly, the rooms are clean, the beds are comfortable, coffee and tea are provided around the clock in the lobby, there is on-site parking (which only once was full when we were there), and it is a comfortable and reasonably-priced hotel. It is over 100 years old, and the halls and lobby are furnished and decorated with period pieces. The hotel provides discount tickets for breakfast at one of two restaurants on the same street. We recommend Hotel Coolidge to those who aren't looking for modern accommodations with big-screen tvs and cookie-cutter decor.

It is listed on the National Registry of Historic Places and indeed is an old building. Despite not having a fitness center or restaurant that is open before 7 am, microwave in the room, or other small amenities, I found this hotel to be quite charming, clean, safe and with very comfortable accommodations. The mattress and pillow were the most comfortable hotel bedding I can ever recall. The closet is large enough to fit a couch or small bed inside. There’s parking outside and a lot across the street as the hotel is located in downtown near the train station and courthouse. I had a great time in the early morning, walking down Main Street window shopping as nothing was yet open. I would choose to stay here again over other modern places nearby, and I highly recommend this hotel.

The room was ROOMY! Very spacious and comfortable. Bathroom was spotless. Hotel Coolidge stands apart from other modern motels. But the price is about the same. So I opted for more character -- which The Hotel Coolidge definitely has. The common areas show some signs of age and wear. And the location in downtown White River Junction is not ideal. But I enjoyed my stay and would recommend it. 👍

The room was wonderful and the person at the desk was excellent! The hotel was dated but charming. There was no breakfast but a great diner is in West Lebanon. The elevator to our assigned room was broken so they gave us an upgrade to a Junior suite. This entailed me pushing a cart outside in the cold and ice to another building since my partner could not do it and there was no one available to help us. If you are old like we are I would suggest another hotel. However, the proximity to downtown and the theatre was spectacular. Great staff!

Unfortunately you could also hear the noise from the bar across the street but it got better once they closed (I recommend asking for an interior room) Beds were ok but not great for comfort. Also when we booked we weren’t aware that the Two rooms were connected by the bathroom, which made for an awkward night.

Big Mistake. Our cramped, old, dingy smelling rooms looked nothing like the charming pictures posted on their Expedia site. Beds were in separate rooms divided by bathroom;where each bed was, there were individual doors leading out into the hallway with only a doorknob and chain closure at each door;only heat was 1 space heater in 1 room, the only a/c was 1 window unit in 1 room (so of course, whoever attempted to sleep in the room with the heater was roasting while the other room was frigid & vice versa with the air conditioner);no hot water in one & only luke warm water in both of our 2nd floor rooms;1 faucet with constant drip all night;beds were hard & uncomfortable, minimalistic bedding & thin lumpy pillows, all of which smelled like musty cardboard & dirt;window coverings were plastic mini blinds that let in light from the street lights & no sleeping in once the sun was up, plus missing big chunks of the blinds;late night noise from the street & bar below;old minimal furniture, no closet;minimal outlets. We arrived at 11pm, opted not to stay a 2nd night and checked out before check out time the next morning, were told we'd get a call from someone later that day to take care of the 2nd night's stay credit, never did. After calling ourselves, the mananger justified our complaints as it was a historic inn, she did not adjust the charges for the 1 night we stayed and refunded only 1 of our rooms for the 2nd night, even though we were out on time & did not use the rooms.Bad!

A historic hotel for sure, however, we learned the hotel was built in the 1870s and it really did show.

In truly haunted fashion, after a loud train horn blared through town, a blood-curdling scream was heard from what sounded like a little girl. Was this part of the paranormal lore or just a mad toddler?
The property is charming, taking you back to the olden days. The staff seemed generally unconcerned with a line of people at the front desk as they did other things before acknowledging or welcoming guests. However, they were friendly and helpful once they were ready to engage.
Breakfast consisted of vouchers for $4.50 to either an Herbalife sales front attached to the hotel with shakes masquerading as healthy or a delightful Turkish restaurant with a mouth watering menu that was somehow only serving drinks and desserts for breakfast or one other diner that didn't open until 9. The voucher idea is nice but a bit impractical for anyone with places to go in the morning.
The rooms and all common spaces were clean and updated in a way that maintained the vintage feel of the hotel.
