The best thing about the Chieftain is that the manager (presumably the owner) was great. The walls seemed to be paper thin and the crying children next door may as well have been in the room with us. On the up side, when I asked if we could be moved the next night they cleaned and prepped another room and... More

My husband and I stayed here for two nights during a visit to Dartmouth, as part of a longer east coast trip. And I have to say, after staying in a succession of noisy and over-priced hotels in Boston and New Haven, this place was fabulous! It's cheap, super quiet (we went in January so there was no one else... More

Smoke smell in room. Breakfast had "tang" and half&half, no milk. Not terrible, but certainly not a 4- More

When we pulled into the parking lot of this hotel, we were a little worried. it looks worse than it really is. From the outside, it appears dingy and deserted. And even though it is isolated from the rest of Hanover and it has seen better days, the rooms are not as bad as your might think. Clean and comfortable,... More

We went there to fish and enjoy Dartmouth, huge success, we traveled with our dog and two small kids, the room was big and had bunk beds! The kids were thrilled. The fishing behind the Inn was fantastic, we caught a bunch of walleye, smallmouth bass and hooked a northern Pike but couldn't land it! Great Place and super nice... More

Just returned from a 4 night stay at the Chieftain Inn by Dartmouth College (Sept 10-14, 2011). This is a clean,charming place, perfectly close to Dartmouth, that I will certainly visit again! Last time I visited Dartmouth, I stayed at the Hanover Inn, which is also a wonderful place to stay. There I spent $290 per night. Here at the... More

Having recently attended a wedding with a friend in Hanover, we did not want to stay in town, mainly due to the high prices there but also because we wanted to stay somewhere a bit quieter. My friend found The Chieftian online and took a chance despite what he said were mixed reviews. From the road you would not necessarily... More

My mom, cousin, and I visited the Chieftain Inn on July 15-18, 2011. The Inn was a short drive to my brother's home in Union Village, Vermont and right on the Connecticut River. These were the main reasons we chose it. We were not sorry. The Inn is more of a motel than a hotel or resort, but it is... More

What a lovely surprise! We were looking for a dog friendly motel and found this small quiet place on the Connecticut river. The rooms are log-cabin like in their charm, and the breakfast a treat. We walked to the river at least twice a day - wish we'd had more time to explore! More
