Hanover Inn Dartmouth

Excellent location across the street from Dartmouth College and in the heart of downtown Hanover - walking distance to the restaurants and shops. Modern, attractive and updated rooms with a desk, sitting chair, Lavazza coffee machine in the room. Pros: - For returning Dartmouth alumni, you can choose to write an index card to hang on the board across from the elevator to connect with fellow classmates in town - Room was clean, spacious and very comfortable - Parking garage about 2 blocks away for valet parking available - Pine restaurant at the hotel had really good, big salads Cons: - Some 2nd floor rooms don't have a good view: roof and air conditioning unit with wooden wall but it was convenient and faster to be able to use the stairs to the 2nd floor so that more than made up for it. - Had a brief technical glitch where we were able to get into our room, but then both of our keys stopped working after we left. The front desk quickly made us new keys - no problems after that. Notes: - Second floor room can have a bad view - roof with air conditioning unit and wood wall view - You can pay to eat at the Dartmouth dining hall - The Class of 1953 Commons. It is open breakfast, lunch, dinner, and late night. It is all you can eat with various food stations.

The Hanover Inn is at Dartmouth College's edge, centrally located between the school and small town area. Wonderful hospitality, with a smile. Bit pricey, but an excellent place to stay and have the ability to walk around without needing to park your car.

When I learned that the venue for a major family event hosted by my younger son and daughter-in-law was to be held at the Inn, I decided to book rooms there for that weekend for myself, my siblings, and my other son and his family. Even before our arrival, the hotel took care to confirm the various arrival plans and room configurations, and so check-in was seamless for each party. The common areas were extremely comfortable and inviting, and over the course of the weekend when we weren't busy with the main event, we and other friends and family members staying at the Inn enjoyed getting together there to share a drink from the hotel bar and catch up with each other. After the event wrapped up late Saturday afternoon, a number of family members expressed the desire to gather informally with some pizzas and sandwiches rather than dining out. The front desk very graciously agreed to our using the common area (lobby and vicinity) to continue socializing and snacking (fyi: I ought to note that we were extremely careful about cleaning up after ourselves and made sure to keep the volume down to that no other guests were inconvenienced). When it was time to leave on that Sunday morning, I learned from the valet that one window in my rental car had inadvertently been left partly open, resulting in a very wet front passenger seat. He gathered several towels to try his best to mop up the water and then returned with more dry towels for the person using that seat to sit upon. Of his own accord, he asked the front desk to remove the parking fee from my bill because of this inconvenience. That was not necessary but was appreciated, and is yet another example of the staff of Hanover Inn doing all they could to ensure a very pleasant and memorable stay.

Great stay! Staff was exceptionally helpful and attentive. Great atmosphere made it a very special stay for the family.

Lovely hotel on Dartmouth campus. Perfect place to explore the college and town. Highly recommend if you’re looking at the college.
