The location is perfect. It was close to restaurants and shopping and we had a beautiful room it was clean and very comfortable. The only thing is that a lot of the restaurants and shops are closed on Sunday and Monday.

Weekend getaways

Stayed at The Reluctant Panther Inn and Restaurant for a weekend. Wanted to get away from the daily routine and just have a peaceful weekend. The town of Manchester has a gem with this hotel. The staff was very pleasant and the inn was beautiful. Dinner and breakfast was so delicious, very high end cuisine. Spent the weekend surrounded by Vermont mountains and hiking trails. Highly recommend going to equinox pond and lyebrook falls what beauty
