My husband and I stayed here in April for his birthday weekend. It is our second stay in their suites, and we were delighted once again. Quiet, spacious, comfortable, clean, romantic with lovely views and within walking distance of town. Plus, the rates in the offseason are very reasonable, especially considering what you get. We will be back! The only... More

My wife and I stayed at the Palmer House in 2008 and went back for a weekend recently. The place is clean and neat and the staff is competent and friendly. It is clearly not a 5 star hotel and although the facility needs some updating, the rates are fair and the location is great. The king bed was comfortable... More

My wife and frequently travel to VT. Whenever we are in Manchester, VT, we always stay at the Palmer House in a suite though in the past we have also stayed in a non suite room. The suites are roomy and include a gas fireplace in winter. We have visited each year since the 1980's and for us it's always... More

Great place. I have been staying at the Palmer House since the early 1990"s..Experience has always been wonderfull. I now stay in a suite for extended annual ski vacations. The suite gives me all the space and comfort I need,especially on non-ski days. It is an easy drive to Bromley, Stratton and Okemo while located in a beautiful town which... More

We stayed at the palmer house in 2012 (Feb) in a standard double room (not a suite). The beds are very firm and messed up my back the next day (tossing and turning all night too). There using firm Sealy Posturepedics, I have to say it's the worse bed I ever slept in a very long time. Same for the... More

We have stayed here over the course of many years and recently have noticed this last time the rooms need to be upgraded. While clean, towels were thin, beds hard and uncomfortable and a generally "seediness" of the room was apparent. They need to upgrade the rooms.
