Staying at this place is almost like staying at a B&B, except you're staying at a hotel, and breakfast is just homemade cakes instead of a whole meal. That is, it's very personable. The owner is very nice, talkative, and interested in you enjoying your stay. She seems willing to do just about anything you ask her, and sometimes she will offer things up just based on what she knows you are doing. For instance, I arrived to hike the Appalachian Trail, and she offered to drive me there (with the caveat that she might have trouble finding the trail head). I'm sure that would also involve a fee, but for a hiker traveling alone, that would be a great service to have. I stayed at this hotel because I couldn't decide on which hikes to do, and this place was smack in the middle of Bennington and Manchester. The exterior of this hotel looks a lot like all of the other motels up and down route 7a. One might not stick out from another, but I'd stay here again if I came to the area because I am now comfortable with the owner (stick to what I know). The motel is nestled at the foot of one mountain, and has a view of Glastenbury Mountain. Life is quiet in this area. The hotel is often used by workers, all of whom were gone before I even woke up in the morning. Thus, the owner is basically waiting for me to arrive for breakfast. The interior of the room has everything you would want for your stay, but nothing fancy. It does have a grill in the backyard though, which is cute. Wifi is also available.
