Perfectly located next to the Hanover green. Attentive service and well-maintained property. Also always enjoy the bar at Pine and my kids love the breakfast.
Great choice for a stay.

4.5 stars. One of my kids and I returned to this hotel after several years since our last visit. The hotel is well-maintained and our room was clean. The beds were very comfortable. The team working here from the valet to the front desk and restaurant were highly professional and helpful. The location can't be beat whether for a visit to Dartmouth or an unrelated stay. It's easily walkable to restaurants, shops and cafes, as well a really nice local furniture shop and a game shop on Lebanon Street (near Talbots). WiFi worked well and we would be happily stay here again. Again, apologies for not taking pictures. The hotel is as pictured on the website. Very clean and well-maintained public spaces.
Excellent location and modern, spacious, comfortable rooms

Excellent location across the street from Dartmouth College and in the heart of downtown Hanover - walking distance to the restaurants and shops. Modern, attractive and updated rooms with a desk, sitting chair, Lavazza coffee machine in the room. Pros: - For returning Dartmouth alumni, you can choose to write an index card to hang on the board across from the elevator to connect with fellow classmates in town - Room was clean, spacious and very comfortable - Parking garage about 2 blocks away for valet parking available - Pine restaurant at the hotel had really good, big salads Cons: - Some 2nd floor rooms don't have a good view: roof and air conditioning unit with wooden wall but it was convenient and faster to be able to use the stairs to the 2nd floor so that more than made up for it. - Had a brief technical glitch where we were able to get into our room, but then both of our keys stopped working after we left. The front desk quickly made us new keys - no problems after that. Notes: - Second floor room can have a bad view - roof with air conditioning unit and wood wall view - You can pay to eat at the Dartmouth dining hall - The Class of 1953 Commons. It is open breakfast, lunch, dinner, and late night. It is all you can eat with various food stations.
Excellent place to stay

The Hanover Inn is at Dartmouth College's edge, centrally located between the school and small town area. Wonderful hospitality, with a smile. Bit pricey, but an excellent place to stay and have the ability to walk around without needing to park your car.
