Chieftan Inn - Hanover, NH

The only reasons for choosing this hotel was that it was close to Dartmouth College and reasonably priced. I'd describe this place as something between a 'hunting lodge' and a 'love shack'. I went in for the free breakfast, but did not eat. I lost my appetite when I opened the jar of raspberry jam - and it was covered with mold. The one nice feature was that they had Direct TV in the room. Plus, my room was close enough to the main lodge that I could use its Wi-Fi. Next time, I will pay more money for a nicer hotel in downtown Hanover (NH) - or, drive further away and stay at a 'name brand' hotel.

A little old, but that's alright.

A little bit rundown, but a nice place. Clean rooms. Great view. Friendly staff. Convenient to Hanover.

Okay

We were a bit cold and found no answer for our calls for advise as to how to get heat working better. However, the view and setting delightful. In warmer season, we will return.

Basic but Very Pleasant

Chieftan Motor Inn is basic, no frills but pleasant and affordable relative to the other hotels/inns in the area. The bed was very comfortable, which was nice since I have a very sensitive back. Has a beautiful view overlooking the river. Staff are very nice and helpful.

Comfy, no WiFi in room

People are friendly as this is a small motel. Nothing fancy - rooms were wood paneled and comfy if dated. WiFi works good in Living Room or Dinning room but did not work in guest room. If WiFi in the room is important to you, pass this one up. Also, I did not have good mobile phone service in this area (AT&T).

Good for the Hanover area

When we pulled into the parking lot of this hotel, we were a little worried. it looks worse than it really is. From the outside, it appears dingy and deserted. And even though it is isolated from the rest of Hanover and it has seen better days, the rooms are not as bad as your might think. Clean and comfortable, the room here gives new meaning to "wood paneling" and has a very "cabin" feel. The decor was dated and a little dingy and the room had a funky "musky" smell but over-all, it was clean and a good place to use as a central base. Our room had a front and back door -- the back door led out to the pool and recreation area. It was quite gloomy when we were there in October so I'm assuming the riverside location would be fantastic on a sunny day.

great "OLD TIME MOTEL"

Reminded me of the motels of the Fifties that we use to go to when I was young. Very clean and comfortable and in a great location. If you want the lux of today not your best choice, but for everything else good choice.

Accommodated our late check-in

This is a motor inn, so despite what the prices might imply, this is the type of place that you can drive right up to your room -- not luxury, but still clean... This motor inn won extra bonus points in my book because we arrived late (relative to Hanover perception of time) around 11pm without advance notice of a late arrival, and even though the front desk was un-manned when we showed up, the receptionist had been so kind as to leave us the keys to our room in an envelope -- so we were saved from sleeping in our car outside our motor inn room :) Thank you very much, Chieftain! :)

Nice People but Technologically Outdated

Felt pretty cut off there. Farther from town than I expected. Might as well have stayed in West Lebanon. Very poor AT&T service. Wifi only available in check-in area. Satellite TV service took forever to turn on. Pretty good breakfast and very nice owner's family but not a place to go if you are trying to keep in touch with the outside world. Room was fine. Setting over the river was also quite nice.

"Will not be returning"

My hotel room had a broken lamp on one table, one bed had clean sheets, the other did not. There was something in the bottom of the shower we still haven't figured out what it may have been. The door had a crack right down the middle which made it drafty when it was only 9 degrees out. We could hear the girls next door talking until midnight and we could not wait to check out the next morning. Went into the kitchen to make tea and the refrigerator had been left open for who knows how long. This hotel needs some serious work and the rude young gentleman needs some lessons on dealing with the public!!! Be sure to confirm your room with this place!
