The staff was very friendly, rooms were spacious and comfortable, and the complimentary morning breakfast buffet was wonderful. This seems like it would be a great place to stay if you have kids! One suggestion for improvement would be to have an EV charging station(s).

This is a hidden gem. Probably my top 3 hotels I’ve ever visited. Classic, eclectic, vintage with modern convenience. The breakfast was perfect, staff included. Pool, sauna, drink bar and even the shampoo and shower gel are among the top in my list. We walked down to the river where my kids explored for 2 hours. I love this place.

This has been a disappointing stay. The reception at the desk was unfriendly and terse. The hot jacuzzi tub was tepid and when I asked at reception to turn the temperature up I was told no and a story about their humidity control system. A hot tub should be hot. The room is nice but otherwise I’d recommend trying another inn in Woodstock. Disappointing.

Came in for Dartmouth Graduation and found 506 to be the perfect location for us. The grounds were beautiful and we utilized the pool, sauna and hot tub. Everything was very clean and the atmosphere of your lounge/restaurant was incredibly inviting. We had dinner and thoroughly enjoyed the food and drinks. Everyone from the front desk to those keeping it spotless were so polite and friendly. We were traveling with someone in a wheelchair and it was totally accessible. Thank you for making our weekend even better.

This property was dramatically better than the photos suggested. The breakfast, included, was fantastic while the pictures on the site were understated. The staff was super welcoming and helpful. The property itself, due to its numerous rooms for use including the library (game room), pool and hot tub and sauna (super clean) and bistro / bar (used for breakfast, cocktails and dinner) was easy to spread out into and relax. We loved this property.

Great property with lots of nice extras- buffet breakfast, heated towel rack, library with pool table, filtered water and bottles for your room. Large room with sitting area. Our room safe did not work despite the staff trying hard to repair which was a bit of a pain as it was very cold and we had to keep our electronics in the car despite being assured no one would enter our room- we were given no other option. Hot tub could definitely be hotter but the sauna was great after a cold day on the slopes. We will be back, staff was fantastic and friendly.

We would not stay at this hotel again. Starting with the bed sheets being dirty. Their is no housekeeping after 2 pm. I had to walk to the reception twice to get it myself. Twice because the second set was dirty too, and there was no phone in the room.There was not even an apology or any kind of courtesy. They hotel claims to be a 4 star, i doubt that now. Breakfast had very poor options. Nothing tasty. The only nice thing about this hotel is the decor.

We were disappointed in our room since the photos showed a bright large room and advertised that every room had a view of the river - we did not on the ground floor. We felt like we were in a basement with a dark room. As far as cleanliness there was a half full water bottle under the lamp table and the mattress box spring cover was only partially on. Otherwise it was clean. The towels were fluffy and very white as were the bed linens. Use of the work out room revealed a very squeaky elliptical machine. Pool and hot tub were clean and nice. Breakfast was tasty and well prepared.

The room was spacious and comfortable! Great shower!!! We ate in the dining room the 2nd night and we’re very happy with our meals! A couple good places close by for pizza or fried clams/fries and ice cream. Lots of shops/cafes in Woodstock itself. King Arthur baking company only 30 mins north. Definitely will return.

We had a wonderful weekend away here! The Inn is beautiful, charming/well decorated, has fabulous amenities (hot tub, pool, sauna, game room with arcades, lovely library, outdoor firepit, etc.) stunning views of the river, comfortable rooms and includes an incredible complementary breakfast. Hands down one of the best hotel breakfasts we've ever had. Staff was friendly and went out of our way to make sure we had everything we needed. It's only a quick 3 minute drive to town center, and 506 On The River is a perfect escape in itself, a hidden gem. From complementary smores by the fire at night to the relaxing sauna or a drink at the bar, this is the perfect spot for families or couples. We will definitely be back!

The property and room was nice, however the customer service is extremely poor. I was not welcomed, nor asked how my stay was.

The location is beautiful and convenient, yet if you appreciate good customer service, I recommend finding another lodging.

The gentleman at the front desk to check us in and we had the misfortune to speak another time, barely made eye contact. I travel a lot, and I have never been to a place with such unfriendly staff. Not a hello or good morning from any of them. It was uncomfortable. While the property was nice, I probably would not stay there again.

The property itself is nice and has a great outdoor area for kids and adults alike. The indoor pool was beautiful and my kids loved it. The service at this, however, leaves much to be desired. Check in was a joke with a man basically mumbling over a sucker in his mouth and just threw the keys at me over the counter. When I started to ask questions about the property he pointed to a piece of paper and said “it’s all written on there” and walked away. So rude. Same goes for breakfast buffet staff. Rude. I was shocked as I’ve never been treated like an annoyance just to check in or come to a self serve buffet. Anyway.. great property but staff need a lesson in customer service and just general attitude adjustment.

The customer experience is not only about a beautiful property but also about how you treat your customers. It’s not about what happens, rather how you handle the situation. A bad situation handled well, will result in a favourable outcome. Our situation should have been handled as follows “we apologize for the miscommunication on our end and of course we will give you the 30 minutes you need to get ready for check-out”. Instead we were talked to and treated very rudely by your staff and front desk manager, the first demanding we vacate within 10 minutes and the other saying that what had been agreed to the evening prior at check-in didn’t matter because the message wasn’t left for them by their own staff. The way this situation was handled has left such an unfavourable impression on us, your paying guests.

We stayed on a Monday/Tuesday and not a lot of guests there. The Homefries potatoes were Luke warm, and definately not fresh. The staff person at breakfast was nice but the food was disappointing. They also did not give us fresh towels or come to our room to freshen up by housekeeping. 8/10
