The hotel has historic charm while still providing modern amenities. The decor in the common areas is reflects the history of the area. The front desk staff are very polite, professional, and efficient. Room 323 is a larger room (see photos), and it was comfortable and quiet.

I enjoyed the historic inn for many reasons. It is the heartbeat of the Hanover NH community and Dartmouth College campus. It is well kept in/outside. Tastefully decorated without glitz and glamor. Furnishings blended appropriate for the past and present. Friendly staff in all areas.

Everything about our stay was perfect. Bill at the front desk started our stay by being so welcoming and even sent up a tray with cookies to celebrate our anniversary. The room itself was immaculate and had a sitting area that was so comfortable. We had breakfast at the hotel both mornings and everything was delicious. Highly recommend the ricotta pancakes. It was our fist stay at the Inn and look forward to coming again soon.

Lovely hotel right across from Dartmouth campus. Expensive during busy weekends, but very convenient and with excellent service. We were upgraded to an enormous suite which was a lovely surprise and very comfortable and well-appointed. Pine restaurant was delicious and great service, though they were out of several dishes on the menu.

The rooms are great but the staff, especially Will and Ramon are 5 star plus! Absolutely outstanding service. They go above and beyond to make sure their guests are comfortable in the hotel. The restaurant is also lovely and has a great atmosphere.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about the Hanover Inn and their incredible team for helping make our wedding day absolutely perfect. From start to finish, everything was seamless. Brendan Bellanger, the catering manager, and Rick Thorpe went above and beyond to ensure every detail was just right. They were incredibly attentive, professional, and kind—especially when it came to accommodating allergies and dietary needs with care and precision. Our guests felt so well taken care of, and the entire experience was smooth, elegant, and stress-free. We are truly grateful to Brendan, Rick, and the entire Hanover Inn team for creating such a memorable and joyful celebration.

We ran into a complication and when we called, we happened to get the manager, Victor, as the person who answered the phone. He was incredibly accommodating, assisting us with compassion, going above and beyond to help us with our issue. Gives us confidence and all the feels for using this hotel for all our future Dartmouth visits!

Great spot next to the Hanover campus. Rooms well maintained and super clean. Mandatory valet parking is not staffed correctly and kind of a nightmare. Front desk team - esp Chris - could use some customer service training.
