Good 4 star Hotel... Rooms are nice, due for refurbish, beds are hard, pillows weak and flat, Front desk staff very friendly. "the Tavern" restaurant... very good dinner, weak breakfast, good service. "The Butler" restaurant... excellent Sunday brunch, very good service, french pastries and desserts are definetely the strong point of this culinary institute. Didn't get the chance to have dinner at the Butlers. I would absolutely return to this Jewel of Essex Vermont!
