Taconic Manchester, VT - 31 Dec to 2 Jan

Property went with a “pay it forward” social password whereby you select an ornament from a Christmas tree with a child’s name on it and the hotel will donate a book to that child in the local area from that local book store.

I was a bit surprised by this one. I support children reading, but average income in Manchester is high for Vermont and at $519 per night for a property that is usually less than half that, a freebie would have been nice.

This is a great property, but avoid when they’re fully booked. Room wasn’t serviced by the time we returned at 17:00 (left at 11:00), dinner reservation was an hour late, and mediocre, and breakfast service was totally mailed in

was told a new promo would be coming soon...
