Excellent as always! We've stayed several times now at Manchester View, never disappointed. Whether the regular rooms or the spacious rooms above the office ( Pearl Buck or Rudyard Kipling), the facility is cleam, well maintained and comfortably furnished. Breakfast is always excellent ( who else serves Wolferman's English muffins?). As the name implys, the location is a top draw. Just a couple of minUts outside Manchester and its many delights, the views are wonderful. Sunrise on our Pearl buck elevated deck was lovely, and the afternoon shade there was welcome in the recent heat wave. Staff is unfailingly helpful and personable. And this has become our home away from home in the area. Years ago, as a young couple, we'd drive by and wish we could stay there, on our way to cheap digs way out of town. Now we find it very cost competetive, notexpensive as we thought it was then. A bargain for what we receive!

The hotel is opposite Manchester Center, , there is a big supermarket and city bus station, there are delicious Seasons, there is a cafe, brunch shop and ice cream window next to it, there is a gas station and a variety of shops are not far away, the location is excellent, the scenery is beautiful. The room is more spacious and comfortable, the window is a little smaller, breakfast is average, if it can be richer, it would be fine. The coffee machine in the room is not easy to use. Fortunately, there is coffee, hot water and drinking water supply in the hotel lobby at any time. There is also an ice machine in the elevator on each floor. In short, the experience of living here is not bad.

As Kimpton super-fans, my wife Cecilia and I have been to some amazing Kimpton hotels around the world (including the Fitzroy in London, Seafire in Grand Cayman, the Armory in Bozeman and the new luxury resort in Roatan) and the Taconic is right up there at the top of the list of our favorites. This place is the total package - luxurious accommodations decked out with a cozy New England bed and breakfast vibe, an amazing restaurant in the Copper Grouse and first class service. As frequent guests of the Taconic, the entire staff treats us like longtime friends and goes way above and beyond to make sure that each stay is better than the last. Special shout outs to GM Nick, guest services managers Lucretia and Ann, engineering supervisor Mike and Kristin and Brett from the Copper Grouse. The housekeeping staff is excellent as well, as they found a puzzle piece that we left behind in our room and arranged for its return. Our most recent stay in early September was absolutely amazing - as we were there to celebrate Cecilia’s birthday, the guest services team provided a generous room upgrade, a bottle of bubbly and other goodies. There’s no better place to celebrate special occasions at the Taconic and we are looking forward to our next visit during early November for our anniversary!
