“Charming and unique”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 January 2012

person found this review helpful

We just stayed at the Latchis Hotel for four nights and really enjoyed it. We chose it for its spectacular location, its wonderful "deco-greco" design, and the fact that it is just so interesting, with its several theaters and its history. We arrived minutes before the elevator was officially working again after the damage suffered by this and several other businesses in flooding from Hurricane Irene. It was great to see things humming along, literally, since when we'd passed by during the short period when it was still closed. They did a stupendous job of getting this hotel back into shape. We chose a twin room which we found economical and quite fine. We loved the furniture, mid-century rock maple beds, dresser and desk. And the tub was to die for. They just don't make them like that any more: deep enough and with proper back support to make possible to take a truly relaxing bath; the shower worked great, too. We did find the mattresses a bit hard, but Jonathan was extremely helpful and fixed the problem promptly (they have mattress toppers that can be added). It was fun talking with him; his love of the place and knowledge of its history and workings makes the stay such a joy. He pulled out a binder full of old photos which were just fascinating to look at. If you need absolutely predictable sameness, you might do better to drive out of town, miss all the fun, and stay where it looks like any other city in the country. But there is only one really proper way to experience Brattleboro and that's from the heart of town, and the heart of Brattleboro is clearly the Latchis Hotel.

“Echoes of Marlowe”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 December 2011

This building has a unique history and a haunting ambiance. We felt as though we were in a Raymond Chandler novel, walking down the deco hallway to our room. There is a sense of calm and peace which permeates throughout. The beds are adequately comfortable and the other furnishings are period correct, somehow they survived along with the incredibly solid structure of the whole edifice. You must meet Micheal. The first year that we stayed here, he caught us sneaking into the the theater, which is enclosed in the hotel, to do some urban exploration. At first we were disappointed at getting caught, but then he gave us a tour of all the fascinating nooks and the old ballrooms and restaurants, which are now theater spaces. He works like the devil at satisfying any whim that you might have. He's a strong ex New Yorker who wears shorts and a tee shirt to shovel snow. Quite a character. Decent breakfast, although a little heavy on the sweet stuff. Some choice cold cereals would be a nice addition to the line up. Anyway, do give it a try as it's unique and charming experience.

“From the time you arrive, WOW.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 November 2011

Are arrival was met by very friendly people, warm and willing to help. We had a room on the first floor, twin beds looking at a wall. But thats all we could afford. The rooms are very nice and very clean. I our beds were new and comfortable. The staff went out of there way to make us happy at breafast WITH GREAT COFFEE. The night staff can tell you about every resturant in the area. Our visit was to attend a course at the Marlboro College Graduate School 5 Min. walk this was perfect.

Room Tip: The elevator was not working so check first if you need it.

Thank you for all of your wonderful comments! Our elevator is an unfortunate victim of Hurricane Irene and the flooding that took out the equipment in the basement. We are currently having the elevator restored and it should be up and operational very soon.

“Charming Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 November 2011

We stayed 2 nights and loved the art deco hotel. We stayed in a suite which overlooked main street and liked the living area with coffee maker and small fridge. You are right in downtown and can walk to shops and restaurants. Our package included dinner at fireworks which was surpirsinging very good, continential breakfast which was just enough and movie passes. We loved the beautiful vintage movie theatre. The front desk staff were very welcoming and helpful. If you are in the area, definately check out the Latchis.

“Outstanding Customer Service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 October 2011

First of all we didn't actually stay here. We were just passing through and popped in to see if the hotel had recovered from the hurricane and get a brochure. As it happened the hotel had re-opened and the desk clerk was more than happy to take the time to answer all of our questions. In addition he recommended an excellent restaurant and even pointed us to a better parking lot. If a casual drop-in gets this kind of service I can only imagine the quality of care the paying guests get. I really hope to be one of them someday.

Room Tip: I would ask for one overlooking the waterfall in back.
