506 on the River Inn Woodstock

506 on the river has lovely bedrooms and great facilities. We stayed for 3 days and used the pool and Sauna on each day. The rooms are clean and the general ammenities are good. The only down side to this hotel is the restaurant and bar are closed every Tuesday and Wednesday, as are a number of restaurants in Woodstock. So i would encourage anyone staying (on a Tuesday or Wednesday) to pre book your restaurant in the village. There are also no taxi services available which also limits options.

We thought the inn was nice but not outstanding. Room size was good. We had a riverview king. Bed was comfortable. Girl that checked us in was interesting, and asked us twice what our name was after we gave it. We were there at the busy time during fall foliage and I got the impression they were a bit overwhelmed. Room rate was pretty steep but everything is in Woodstock at this time. Location 5 miles out of town so not walkable and unfortunately there is little parking in Woodstock if you intend to shop. We weren’t there to shop so not an issue for us. Had dinner the first night in the bistro and had a wonderful meal. Breakfast offerings were adequate . Lots of pastries, bacon, potatoes, etc.We would stay there again, but if our plans included walking around town, we would pay the money to stay in town.

We stayed here for 5 nights in October 2024. It's a nice hotel, but nowhere near worth the nearly $500 per night it cost us during the height of the fall leaf-color season. For that price, I expect a plush bathrobe and slippers in the room. None were found. I also expect housekeeping to replace my used glassware (coffee mugs) and to clean the in-room coffee maker. Nope. And finally, turn-down service with chocolates on the pillows should be provided at that price level. Nope. That said, the room was comfortable and spacious (we had a king suite). Our stay started with the front desk person not even acknowledging us when we walked in. He looked at me with a kind of "what are you doing here?" expression. No "welcome" or smile or anything. A most off-putting start to our stay. When I called to ask for a few more hangers, he said he'd try to find some, but replied "no promises" in a way that sounded like he really didn't want to be bothered. Breakfast was nice, but the only type of eggs every day were scrambled. That got old, but most people probably don't stay as many days as we did. The breakfast staff were pleasant as was the daytime front desk person. In summary, I wouldn't really recommend staying here during the fall. The Inn would be fine for $300-ish a night.

We were disappointed. We felt this was essentially an upmarket motel. It was comfortable but rather impersonal in style and service. We also had a problem with the air conditioning. Note the restaurant is closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays. As it is a bit out of the town we felt we would have done better in a more central offer

We were disappointed in our stay at the 506 On the River Inn. The beds were way too soft, the pillows way too hard and everyone seemed to find it necessary to slam their doors every time they entered or left their rooms. The inn seemed clean but in a state of disrepair. The patio screen was broken and the furniture looked like it came from a thrift store. Many of the fixtures were corroded and the place needs work. The staff was not friendly except for the two bus staff in the dining room. I went to use the sauna but it was turned off. Overall not a good experience and I was happy to leave.

First, the good: The room was clean and the staff was friendly. NOW THE BAD: I was without hot water for one day. I was without air-conditioning in July for two days. Both of these are unacceptable. Moreover, I asked the front desk in the morning for the air-conditioning issue to be addressed. It never was, and I didn't receive any follow-up. I can not recommend this hotel and encourage those seeking accommodations in Woodstock to look elsewhere.

Very comfortable stay in a large room overlooking the garden and river. Coffee machine, fridge, microwave nice bathroom, room safe. Great breakfast with lots of choice. Enjoyed the pool, large games room and plenty of books to borrow. Spacious seating areas and dining room. Friendly staff

506 on the River exceeded our expectations with several special touches. The complimentary breakfast was the best we’ve ever had at a hotel. There are tons of cozy spaces throughout the property for hanging out and relaxing including a library, patio deck and bar with fireplace. The decor was Vermont farmhouse chic and there were towel warmers in the rooms and bottles of cold filtered water available. They also offered lots of books and games, bonfires with s’mores, and blankets to cuddle with outside. The pool was very nice and clean. Woodstock overall was beautiful, friendly and peaceful with lots of historic charm. We would definitely recommend!

Please do not waste your money on a $350 room here. Rooms are dated, no robes, no information on where to get ice etc. Nice lawn view but no view of the river. At check in, had to ring bell at desk repeatedly and call out before grumpy woman finally responded. This was at 6 pm, not 11 pm. Breakfast was a buffet that was a notch above those found at chain hotels. For $350, I would expect a more personalized breakfast service. During cocktail hour at the bar, was put in place by lady bartender who demanded to know what type of tequila I wanted in my Margarita, although there was no menu listing the types or prices of each. When I said I just wanted a "house" Margarita, she then put me in my place by asking "silver or gold?" I hadn't the faintest idea what that meant - nor did she explain - but I just wanted a nice Margarita. She then had the gall to ask if I wanted to add an additional tip after I had foolishly assented to her including a tip on the bill. All in all, I feel this hotel is not worth the price, and I resent the rude treatment from some of the staff. I would never go back.
