7.4/10

My stay at the Equinox was quite an experience! The hotel itself is rich in history and New England charm, but I did run into some noise issues due to its age. The cleanliness and spaciousness of the room were commendable, and I loved having access to the beautiful indoor pool. On the flip side, the dining experience was rather underwhelming for a hotel of this caliber, so I'd suggest exploring other options nearby. Overall, it's a solid choice if you keep your expectations in check.

Overall, my stay was marked by the luxurious ambiance and excellent spa offerings, making it a lovely retreat. The surrounding scenery was beautiful, and the accommodation offered a good variety of activities to enjoy. However, I did encounter some challenges with noise levels in the hotel and a few cleanliness issues in the room, which could have used some attention. Additionally, my allergies were not ideally accommodated due to the pet-friendly policy, which might not suit everyone.

9.2/10

Staying at this historical hotel was a delightful experience surrounded by stunning natural beauty. The dining options were exceptional, particularly the breakfast, and the spa services were top-notch. However, I did find the room somewhat awkward due to the slanted ceilings, which might not suit taller guests. Overall, it’s a great place for a weekend getaway, but be prepared for the winter prices that can escalate significantly.

My stay at the resort was quite frustrating due to a range of service issues. While there were some highlights like the nice spa and beautiful grounds, the overall management left a lot to be desired. The room we initially received was uncomfortable, and the staff seemed overwhelmed and unhelpful. I expected more from a place with such a luxurious reputation.

Rooms

The first room we received was very cold and poorly maintained, while the second room was a definite improvement. Both rooms lacked the character and luxury I expected.
