They were, apparently, unequipped to handle an influx of tourists even though the parking lot was fairly empty upon arrival. I checked in two hours past the check-in time and had to wait for half an hour in the lobby before the one staff member working said it would be another hour or so before the room would even be cleaned unless I chose to downgrade. I came back about two hours later and most of the rooms were still being cleaned. I inquired about the pool and they said it was available, but a bit "foggy." I went outside to find a full blown pond. It made the reflecting pool look like a resort. The nice thing about the hotel was that it's within walking distance to everything in town and the room was clean by the time I was actually able to enter.

They don't clean daily now, it's every other day - so be sure to ask for extra toilet tissue. I didn't realize until day 2... but checking out the next morning so... whatever. I feel like they should have at least place an extra roll on standby... since they didn't give me brand new toilet tissue to begin with. It's my 2x time staying here bc my coworkers - aka my carpool, are staying here. Bed was ok, the shower needs more pressure, and I wish the air conditioner wasn't so loud. Their breakfast was ok, don't eat the muffin... lol stale & hard. Waffle maker is cool. Near a Chili and Supermarket for any emergency.

We really hit pay dirt when it came to the inns of Vermont this past vacation. Each inn we had…read morechosen throughout Vermont was VERY tastefully appointed, and while our rooms were all quite differently decorated, they were each beautiful, not to mention, CLEAN, no matter where we stayed!! However, here at Four Chimneys Inn, we loved it so much, we asked if we could stay another night, and they said YES ! Our first night was spent in a red and yellow decorated room, which was very spacious and comfortable. The bed and pillows were super comfy ! It was room #11 and on the first floor. Our second night was spent next door in #10, and those colors were creams, blues and muted gray. For some reason, my camera picked up mostly the gray and left very little color to view, which is weird, because there was a lot of blue, which I actually preferred to the red and yellow room. The room was perhaps a bit smaller, but it was still VERY spacious and more than enough room for the 2 of us. Again, the bed and pillows were super comfy. I think I liked this second room more, if nothing else, than because of the colors. Blues, grays and creams just spoke to me more than reds and yellows. I felt more at home, I guess. Both rooms had fireplaces, but in disgusting 90+ degree heat/humidity, no thank you. On the first night of our stay, the inn's restaurant was closed, but when we unexpectedly extended our stay by one night, that also opened the possibility of dining in-house, which thrilled our tired bodies like you wouldn't believe. We didn't feel like doing anymore driving, so we stayed put and ended up having an elegant dinner at Four Chimneys Inn. Breakfast the next morning was included with the price of each night's stay, but we only availed ourselves to breakfast after our second night's stay. (See separate review for the restaurant.) The inn staff was incredibly kind and friendly, not to mention, helpful. If ever we get to return to Bennington, Vermont, there is NO DOUBT that we'd find our way back to staying at the Four Chimneys Inn. Everything about this place is inviting, friendly, comfortable, quaint and charming.

Also really appreciated the recommendation for the Blue Benn for breakfast.

We would for sure stay here again if we are in the area.
