Hotel Coolidge

Vermont


The glory days for this well-worn 1929 hotel are long past, but its creaky floors and odd room configurations do exude a certain eccentric-uncle charm. Across from the Amtrak station in downtown White River Junction, it's a solid option if Hanover accommodations are full or exorbitantly priced. Several convivial and inviting restaurants and bars are within a block or two.
