The property is perfectly situated, just a short walk from Main Street, making it incredibly convenient for exploring the area. The location is excellent, and the hotel itself is very well-maintained and comfortable. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a walkable base in the town.
Great place and great location...walkable to much of Manchester. Only suggestion is to improve WiFi. I was in the Victoria house and I couldn't access the WiFi. But that is minor--overall very happy with The Palmer House.
Property well maintained. Staff was welcoming and breakfast was good. However we asked for the room to be made up and it wasn't. That was the only issue.
I like what the property is trying to do, but some updates are needed. The staff was very friendly. The name implies a resort, but the upkeep is not there. The indoor pool had peeling paint, the outdoor pool was dirty and locked. The restaurant was closed. The shower was dirty and the toilet was having trouble flushing. If updated it’s a lovely property in a great location. The bed was fairly comfortable but not great. I hope the management team can bring this place up to where it should be - I feel overcharged for what we got.
Great location but the room (and bath) was very tired. Staff was super friendly. The weather wasn't great so we didn't use the pool or other amenities. Affordable and quiet though.
We stayed at the Palmer House years ago and this visit was not as good. The hotel appears run down, the English muffins for breakfast were stale and there was a man hanging outside of his room two doors down from us shirtless and smoking. The staff was lovely and very nice.
Front desk gentleman was best thing about this hotel . The room was outdated . Not very clean . Beds were hard as rocks . No chair to sit on or table . We bought food back to the room and used iron board as table and sat on the bed . Had iron board but no iron . Thank God bought my own . The grout and floor in bathroom was gross looked like it hasn't been clean in forever .ceiling fan had so much dust when we put it on because room was dustu it blew dust all over . Smh . My slippers were black on the bottoms because flor was dirty . And what ever they used to clean with was so strong had to open windows . This place needs a overhaul .
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Would definitely think twice before returning due to the fact that our suite was very outdated… the windows were dirty with imprints on them, something that could have been easily cleaned… bottom of mini-fridge was not wiped down from a previous guest… I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(?)
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.
We went for my wife’s birthday 9/24-9/28 to enjoy Manchester and the amenities as advertised on their website:
Bar & Restaurant - not open no liquor license
Indoor pool & hot tub - not working.
Golf course - grass on greens & fairways 3-4 inches not playable.
Indoor fireplace - not working.
Front desk - asked to have room coffee pot replaced - never told housekeeping, when we asked housekeeping they brought one right away.
Front desk - called at 3 for housekeeping & was told they were 2 rooms away, called at 4 housekeeping left for the day. We told the front desk we needed some toiletries as it was my wife’s birthday & we were getting ready for dinner & someone did bring them.
Asked to leave one day early based on above - no refund. By then we just left obviously disappointed.
Great place! Lots of amenities! Short 9 hole golf course, but greens rough. Great fun still. Shuffleboard, indoor and outdoor pools, free breakfast. A fire pit in the evenings. Room (suite) was huge. Deck outside facing beautiful trees. Huge bathroom in our suite. Jacuzzi and shower. Two dressing areas. Very happy and will stay again if in the area!
Good value for being 20 minutes from Stratton. Pretty good breakfast. Nice rooms. Friendly helpful staff. Heard the pool and hottub were good, but we didnt have a chance to try them
Very convenient location.!
Spacious and clean room.

An older facility but our room was warm and clean.
Our 2nd time staying here this season. We love it, perfect location to town and ski. Spotless rooms, microwave and fridge a bonus when kids are traveling. Rooms were so warm we turned off heat. Breakfast included. Check in and out very quick and friendly, we will absolutely stay again.
