What guests think

Rooms are often spacious and comfortable, but some feel outdated, noisy, or have aging fixtures and inconsistent A/C or TVs, and Wi‑Fi can be weak. Facilities like the pool, hot tub, spa, golf course, and cozy common areas are appreciated, though availability can be limited and parking is distant without valet; some guests report issues with the hot tub or gym equipment. Dining feedback is mixed, with enjoyable breakfasts, cocktails, and some dinners offset by slow or disorganized service, limited options, or closures. Expect character and a beautiful setting, with service and maintenance varying by stay.

The property is huge, but the for the price, the check-in process should have been MUCH simpler. Valet parking should be a given based on how far away the parking lot is. At a minimum, there should have been a valet to help unload your bags.

It took a week to get the spa to pick up the phone. The hotel staff doesn't help with spa information or reservations, claiming they are a separate entity. Pool, jacuzzi, and sauna not working. They charged 1000 mistakenly to my credit card. Food is very average, and not interesting. No valet to help with luggage. Staff doesn't get back to you as promised.

Since it was a family vacation we stayed in one of the town houses . It was a bit outdated but clean,the next day the refrigerator broke down - upon advising them they replaced it & compensated us for all the food that had to be thrown out .. overall it was ok , they had wonderful amenities - golf course pool & pool classes & daily activities that we liked..the food in Marsh tavern was pretty good too. We’ll most likely return next year as well..

Loved staying in a grand old New England hotel. The staff was lovely and the property was gorgeous. Midweek in July, though, I was surprised at how quiet everything was - things that were on the schedule just didn't happen, one of the bars never opened when it said it would be open, the lovely golden retriever on the property never appeared when it said he would (was looking forward to that). The spa and pool and hot tub were fabulous and I had an amazing massage. Food was quite good in the main dining room. The on-site store was only open half the time I was there. There was no room service menu in the room, nor was there a minifridge, which I think we expect these days. No guide to the property in the room. Concierge was lovely and knowledgeable. Front desk staff was quite nice but didn't seem aware of what events were on the schedule for the day. Lots to do in Manchester and nearby.

Loved the Pet Friendly policy, our room had an enclosed balcony for the dogs, space was great, only drawback was our room was directly above the laundry facilities and they started work at 5 am. The ramp they used and door they used was very loud and constant. Staff was friendly, 4 restaurants were great. Free parking very close to our place. We stayed at the Orvis Inn, right next to the Main Equinox building. Would stay there again. Gym and pool were great.

I have stayed at this property several times and while it isn't as new and snazzy as some of the other luxury properties in the area, it is always very comfortable and genteel. Staff is always so helpful, professional, and kind. The spa/pool/workout area could use some refreshing but again, it is overall very good. If I had to give one cons, it would be the morning coffee in the lobby. It is not the tastiest and a bit bitter - but I am a huge coffee drinker.

Someone needs to walk around with a can of white paint. The devil is in the details and scuff marks ( elevator the worst as it’s used by guest and service) , doors, etc. The food was good and staff attentive. The Taconic, down the road, is a much better choice.

The resort is pretty nice - the pool is good and the main areas of the hotel are nice. Our room was not very clean - the sink was dirty when we arrived and there were cobwebs on both windows. The walls are paper thin and the people in the room next to us had a shouting argument until midnight - felt like staying in a housing project. Would not repeat.

Do not book this hotel. The townhomes and rooms smell like mold. Sheets are filthy. Air conditioning does not work in hotel and townhomes. We walked into floor fans and a horrific stink. Rooms were never cleaned. If you are hungry you will wait hours. And when you finally receive a drink or food it is disgusting. There is a smell in the restaurants. Hotel is short staffed and the ones that are there are totally incompetent. The manager should not be in hotel hospitality. He is extremely rude and unprofessional. Hot tub was filthy as well as the pool.

When we arrived the front desk had 2 people working with numerous check ins as there was a convention checking in as well as other guests. They were understaffed in many departments. The elevator rug needed replacement as it was dirty and worn. The side entrances were full of large spider webs and debris all the time it appeared no one every cleaned them. It was the disabled entrance. Our bathroom had a serious outdated issue. The hand rails in the tub were rusty and full of soap scum. The outside was in need of a refresh as well most of the iconic green shutters were broken/falling off. It just felt off from the beautiful iconic Equinox Inn of old when the owners took extreme pride in the quality of their quests experiences and comforts.

My husband and I stayed one night to celebrate our anniversary. The room was clean, roomy and comfortable. The hotel is huge in a beautiful surrounding with many activities included in the price. Swimming, bike riding and an easy drive into the main town. We would recommend the Equinox and plan on returning in the future for several nights.

I was excited to stay at the Equinox as it was a 4⭐️ hotel in Manchester, Vermont. It was always known as “the” place to stay. I was unfortunately quite disappointed with the stay. Our room was just plan gross. There was a huge water stain on the ceiling with peeling paint. The curtains were ripped. The carpet was filthy with stains on it. The kicker was the black mold in the grout around the tub. Fortunately, the beds appeared clean and were at least comfortable. The parking lot was a ways from the hotel. The only redeeming thing was that the staff was nice and tried to be accommodating. They claimed they didn’t have a different room for us (though there were rooms available when I tried to book a new one). I ended up being comped for the resort fee and was given a free night. It’s a elegant antique building, but it needs a multi million dollar make over. I won’t being staying there ever again. Try the Taconic down the street.

I’ve been a guest at the Equinox on and off for 30 years. Our family holds fond memories of Christmases, Thanksgivings, and other special occasions spent at this "former" grand hotel. Unfortunately, the rest of this visit was far from peaceful—and wholly inconsistent with the standards and legacy of the Equinox. When I entered my room, the drawers were all left open, the toilet seat was up, and it was immediately clear the room had not been properly serviced. The secondary AC unit didn’t work, leaving the room uncomfortably hot and making sleep impossible. The television was also non-functional, which was especially frustrating given the unfolding global events I wanted to follow. By 8:00 a.m., I was woken by shouting from housekeeping staff in the hallway. I took the stairs to avoid the noise, only to encounter more shouting from staff on the stairwell. Hoping to reset the day, I grabbed a cup of coffee and headed to the fireplace lounge, only to find the area littered with leftover food, empty alcohol cups, and disheveled pillows—clear signs it had not been cleaned or reset for morning guests. I reported these issues to the front desk and left multiple messages—one with the desk, two with the manager, one with Jackie, and one via the general reservation line. No one has followed up.

While I appreciated that at check in we were told we were being moved to a different room than the one we reserved, since the air conditioning wasn't working - the air conditioning unit in the room we got was like a jet engine taking off near our heads! Also, I went to remove a towel from the rack in the bathroom and the bar crashed to the floor because it was not secured to the wall, pieces were missing needed to screw it safely into place. I also was aware that every person checking in or out in front of me was also complaining about something in their accomodations.

While mistakes do happen, not addressing/fixing them is inexcusable. We recommend that you avoid this hotel and stay at the Hotel Taconic, which is nearby, newer, and better run hotel.

There was only one person able to check in people when we arrived before the big eclipse; it took over an hour to check in. We were told a worker was sick, but it was disappointing that there was not another staff member able to independently check in people. The hotel did make it up to us when we asked, but it was an unwelcome experience.

I purchased my room on Expedia because my other room at another hotel at the Kimpton Taconic Manchester was not available for check in at 5pm. I had to wait 20 minutes at the front desk of Equinox for systems to update on their end to see my reservation even though I saw it right away. The front desk staff was indifferent whether I was able to get the room. They were offering the same room at a higher price so they were not incented to promote Expedia saying if I booked directly with them at higher price I would have been immediately able to get my room. There was also a hold up on getting their ‘service fee’ approved.

Lovely place. Relatively reasonable pricing. But the parking and hotel entry was confusing. The parking is so far to walk. Not hard for me but it was hard for my husband who is disabled with one prosthetic leg. The food choices in the hotel was limited as well though we ate in the Falcon Restaurant and we loved the cocktails and the staff was overly attentive and kind. I don’t know but I guess I expected so much more. At least a breakfast included in the pricing. The room was also kind of dated. It served its purpose for what we needed which was for business for one day in Bennington. It was clean and reasonably priced.

I truly enjoyed the history of the Equinox. Our room was large and clean; bed was wondering!; staff was friendly; location is perfect as restaurants and shopping within walking distance. Absolutely loved our stay! Our only complaint would be the parking lots. It rained the day we arrived and the parking lot was muddy. It was very tough to 1. park the car; 2. walk to our room with all our luggage. If they would pave the parking areas, it would go a long way.

We had a great time at The Equinox! Our room was spacious and clean. The bed was comfy with high quality linens. We enjoyed the patio hot tub and a swim in the beautiful huge pool before dinner. Dinner at the Chop House was delicious! We both had scallops with a gourmet corn mixture that worked well. After dinner, we joined a crowd in the library and played Scrabble by a roaring fire! There were several fireplaces throughout the premises.

The hotel has an incredible structure and great potential, but unfortunately, my stay was not pleasant. I chose this hotel because my son had a lacrosse tournament early Saturday morning, and I wanted to sleep well and be rested. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen. We stayed in room 136, and the door noise throughout the night was constant and disturbing. There were also loud conversations in the hallway. As a result, we had a terrible night and barely slept. We woke up early to have breakfast at the hotel, for which I paid separately. I was okay with the high price, as well as the high cost of the overall stay, but the issue wasn’t the money — it was the service. We waited a long time for a woman to come take our order. When our food finally arrived, my son decided he wanted the same pancakes I ordered, but we didn’t have time to place another order before the tournament. I told him to politely ask for an extra plate and eat one of mine. The woman treated him so poorly that, by the time he returned with the plate (after a long wait), we had no time left and had to leave without eating. I paid a high price to be treated poorly and not even have breakfast. I also saw at least two other families leaving the breakfast area without eating due to the same terrible service. This was definitely not the experience I was expecting. That said, I want to highlight that the room was clean and comfortable, and the restaurant service at dinner was excellent.

A Complete Disaster, Not what it once was... Our group stay at The Equinox in Manchester, VT, was an absolute disaster. We experienced numerous issues that made our stay incredibly uncomfortable and frustrating: No Air Conditioning: Many of us were without AC and were only provided with fans. Some guests noted not having AC for days. Employee Behavior: Upon arrival, from the back entrance the windows were open with employees clearly arguing. Great first impression. Property Condition: The building is in disrepair with shingles falling off the roof, moldy rooms with peeling paint, and dead trees in the yard. Amenities Missing: Some suites had no TVs, and there was no cookware available. I guess the kitchens are "bring your own cookware on vacation"? One family in our party didn\'t have windows in their room only a sunlight. False Advertising: The description of the hotel as "graced with timeless elegance" and offering "luxurious accommodations and modern comforts" is completely misleading. Don\'t expect a robe, coffee, water...there will be nothing in your room that would indicate you were in a resort, but, you will pay a resort fee. Restaurant Issues: The main restaurant was closed, and the food at the Tavern was inedible. This once magnificent historical resort has clearly been neglected for quite some time. The management and owners should be ashamed of themselves for letting such a special property fall into disrepair. We were thoroughly disappointed and would not recom

The scenery was terrific. Spacious room. Breakfast was served in a professional manner and the food was delicious. We liked the many support bars in the bathroom.

Great property. Front desk service great. Food quality is less than average and very pricy. Restaurant staff service needs major help. Poor service and unfriendly.

The property is dated. The bar had fruit flies flying around. The stools were worn and the bar cabinets looked dirty, chipped and worn. The Chop House was afar cry from being a highlight. The furniture was dated and the old chairs uncomfortable. The place looked more a cafeteria than a high end restuarant. Its not cheap either. The bedrooms were mediocre. We had two queens one had a new mattress quilt cover the otherone was old and you sunk in with an old flat quilt. The parking is aways from the building and I had to walk in the rain because there was no valet. Not a good buy for the money. I would not recommend it until substancial renovations are done

the toilet in the bathroom was not working - had to use the lobby bathroom first night.' They moved us the second night as they could not repair the toilet. Hotel waived the daily resort fee of ($40). Should seek a greater refund for the inconvenience cause the entire first night,

The grounds are very pretty. But the rooms definitely need an updating. Also, our shower didn’t drain when we initially checked in, which was pretty gross and the wallpaper is peeling off the walls in our room.

The room was nice and very clean. The bar and waitstaff were friendly and helpful. The biggest disappointment was the outdoor patio/fire pit area because management said that there was a problem with the gas line (but it's been out for at least a week or two), so it was dark and cold on the patio. They did nothing to help rectify the problem when in fact there were at least 30 people trying to enjoy the outdoors. Many requests were made for management to assist, but nothing. It took the friendly bar staff to come up with a solution. She grabbed lanterns from the inside tables to brighten up the darkness - this made people want to stay longer and enjoy drinks with friends. She made the difference that night! Her name started with a "P" and deserves recognition for making a decision that night.
