We stayed at this hotel for only one night as part of a trip through New England and Quebec. Our renovated room was the highlight of the hotel. Although it was a little narrow, the dark wood furniture was very attractive, comfortable, and the overall impression of the room was that it was more like a room in a nice home rather than a standard high end hotel room The bathroom was small but the white subway tiles and elegant fixtures more then made up for it. The hallways near this room were also renovated with the exception of the doors into the rooms which are clearly holdovers. It looks like only one wing of the hotel has been renovated.
The rest of the hotel is nice but a little drab and worn. There are at least three rooms for dining, a nice sundry shop, and a library with free morning coffee and a computer available for guests to use. A bathroom I used in a public area of the hotel was sterile and unattractive, and clearly has not been touched in 30 years. The grounds of the hotel are very nice, and the exterior of the hotel is very attractive.
We did not eat a meal in the hotel, choosing Bentley’s for dinner with its great dark Victorian parlor décor, and breakfast at Mountain Creamery. Both are a five minute walk from the hotel.
I had a chance for an afternoon swim in the hotel pool which was a little cool in early September, but it is a good sized pool in a nice setting. The health club, about a mile and a half down the road is very nice with a great looking indoor pool, good workout area plus a lot more to offer.
Overall, the Woodstock Inn is a nice hotel but right now it is a tale of two hotels. If you stay in a renovated room its like staying in a 5 star room located inside a 3 star hotel.
