506 Inn on the River is in a great location to visit Vermont. It's just outside the downtown area of Woodstock . Our room had a view facing the river; there are chairs and a fire pit on the lawn there. Our room had a small balcony for reading or having a drink. The bed was comfortable and the bath was fine with nice shampoo,etc. The buffet breakfast is included; it is more than adequate with eggs, bacon, sausage, pastries, fruit and the like. Our only complaints were minor; the kickplate on the outside of our door was loose and made it a bit difficult to close the door and the toilet seat was loose. I mentioned this to the front desk but neither was corrected while we were there. All in all, it was a very nice stay.

This is an upmarket place with upmarket prices and we did enjoy our one-night stay but I am not sure it's quite worth what they charge. The large garden is lovely, our room was on the ground floor with direct access into it. You can walk down to the river and sit outside and relax in one of many chairs. The restaurant is nicely furnished although a bit cold due to the aircon being turned up too high - quite common in America in my experience. We ate dinner there which was fine but nothing special. The waitress got our order mixed up which means we had to wait for a long time but got treated to a free glass of wine which was appreciated. Also, one small thing: The pillows were way to poofy for my liking, my head was practically upright when using them. I am guessing you can get a different one from reception but I didn't think of it until it was really late.

We arrived late-ish at night, and were offered a room at ground level next to the rec/fitness area and adjacent to the dining terrace. We requested a different room, and after some hemming and hawing were offered, for $20 per night, a different room, at the opposite end of the hotel, and on the 3rd level. Much better! We were very satisfied with our stay there, friendly folks, good restaurant for dinner, and good breakfasts.

Absolutely amazing. I love the decoration of the hotel, and the breakfast was good too. Easy to park, nice location, quiet neighborhood, etc. I would definitely recommend to my friends when they visit Woodstock, VT.
