Very interesting place. I loved the historic feel. However, the floors were very squeaky and almost felt like you could fall through sometimes. The continental breakfast, although appreciated, was very slim. One type of (huge) muffins, stale bagels, yogurt, orange juice, coffee. Having some milk, cereal or fruit would have been nice. Friendly staff however, we barely saw anyone at all.

Our room had no amenities. No TV, no phone, no tissue or bath mats and no service. We were there for three nights and there was zero service - no trash emptied no towels replaced and no cleaning. It was very cold and the heaters were turned off at night until 7:30 AM. It was impossible to sleep at night. The lack of phone was very inconvenient, especially when the electricity went off at 8:30 at night. I was dressed for bed and had no way of contacting the front desk to report the outage. I called from my cell phone but no one answered the phone. Overall a very negative stay.

I liked the historic style of Fullerton Inn. The continental breakfast was sufficient and included in my stay. The room was clean. The full size bed was too soft. At night time, there was a noise from the roof - flying cables were hitting the roof and making a disturbing noise. The dinner and drinks at Fullerton restaurant were great - I highly recommend it!

Quaint little Inn w/ a good kitchen
Our stay at the Fullerton was for a two night snowboard trip at Okemo Mt (20 min drive). The Fullerton staff was very friendly, and made the stay smooth. The room was a little outdated and small, and there is no thermostat to control the temperature which was a little frustrating the first night. An electric heater was provided for your custom source of heat in the room. The restaurant had a good spread for lunch and dinner, and the food was very good! Overall, the Fullerton was a cozy stay and very fair priced.

This was the fourth time I've stayed at The Fullerton Inn in the last year so clearly I like the place. It's also convenient to Okemo where I ski. I've eaten in the restaurant three times. The meal has always been wonderful, and I've ordered a different entree in each instance. The room I just stayed in could use a small comfortable chair. Other than that, a very pleasant stay.

Comfortable, Rustic and Close to Okemo.
This is a beautiful historic hotel. When I arrived, the building was nicely lighted, and music was playing. Nice touch. The entry area has a large fireplace. My late arrival was accommodated with ease. Room was comfortable, clean and shower was good. Concerns were: 50 minutes before checkout time, I heard someone approach the door and put a key in the lock. No knock or announcement. I said something and the person apologized. As I was leaving, a linen door on the landing was left open. I was carrying bulky ski gear and bumped a cabinet with antique porcelain tea kettles as I navigated to avoid the door. Thankfully nothing fell. Between the front door of the hotel and the steps there was a large placard sign with dinner hours that blocked the egress. I didn't have any service requests, but I didn't see any owners or employees at the desk for my whole stay. My hope would be a knock before entering my room, the linen door kept closed and the means of egress kept clear. Overall a very positive experience. I would return.

Loved the place, it’s old so full of charm and perhaps not so easy, stairs, rumpled flooring but I like such places. Had dinner which was very good, has a nice little pub as well. Everyone I encountered was pleasant.

The best thing way to describe the property is 'adequate'. After trying for two days to have the Inn Keeper take the window unit AC OUT of my window I gave up. Being in the low 40's at night with basically an open window wasn't ideal but worse than that was the fact I was 40 feet from the road and the traffic fired up around 5:15 AM. Couldn't sleep a wink past that. It's an old structure, so there are some things unavoidable, but ignoring guest requests don't fall under that category.

Worth a visit!
Very charming, the new owner is wonderfully welcoming and the decor in the great room and breakfast area is definitely worth checking out. Fabulous fireplace, and super comfortable couches in the great room, with games and papers and books to look through. Historical hotel that could use some maintenence in the room we were in, but was clean and comfortable. The bed in our friend's room was uncomfortable, but ours was fine.

We are 91 and 86 years old. We had no prior notice that the hotel had rooms only on the second and third floors, with at least two staircases to reach the second floor. (Which they refer to as the first, using the European style.) Also there is no elevator. We would not have booked here, had we known that. There was no full breakfast, only muffins, pastry, and fruit.

You're swept away by the beautiful music playing in the stunning lobby. The restaurant staff seems like a well orchestrated ballet. Fabulous waitstaff. Five star. The lady who checked me in was very charming. Poised. Gracious. My room was a serious letdown. I gave ample time the following day to address the old carpet stains and the shower that was plugged and not draining. By 8:30 at night that had not been handled. It was not a fit for me. I was concerned to not be held to my original 4 night reservation. I was told by the man innkeeper I could leave. Now. He didn't 'have a staff of a hundred' ########.......to ensure me a spotless rug.... there was more... Very shocking, jarring, not PC. Did I HAVE a home???? Then...... "Go back now!" He was beyond beyond. She remained composed the entire time. It was a very intense, unpleasant conversation that was extremely rude, explosive,uncomfortable. Stunned, I was able to find accommodations immediately, and left. Presented my $163 bill for that one night. Never in my life of working for Starwood, and then Marriott for two decades had I dealt with such standards. It seems that there's a need to catch up, and what I sense is total Overwhelm. I was determined to reframe my experience of the first time stopping in Chester,Vermont. It seems the massive flood in July took a toll here, and there's the root of stress sensed in town. Hoping all residents regain their balance. Lovely restaurant. Don't recommend Inn

The only thing I didn’t like about this property was that it’s right in the “highway” and my room overlooked that road. The window didn’t close all the way due to the window a/c unit so the traffic noise was audible.

This inn was the most affordable I found in the area. It is located on a quiet main street in Chester, with a bit of shopping within walking distance. The inn itself is a lovely building, but it is a bit run down. Stair carpeting needed vacuuming. In the room, the bedspread had a stain on it. The room had a strange antiseptic smell. It was fine for the cost, but could be so much more with some refurbishment!

Cozy B&B in Chester, Vermont
We found The Fullerton Inn to be a charming B&B. The staff was friendly, the room was lovely. We met with friends and had a delicious dinner in their spacious dining room. There was a large outside deck and breath taking garden. Would highly recommend and would definitely stay there again.

Arrived about 45 mins before check-in after a long drive from upstate N.Y. Front door was locked, rang bell and no one answered. Walked around and drove around and didn't find many dining or shopping options. Decided to stay someplace else.

If your looking for a cozy Vt. Inn this is it. No frills and very simple. The owners were totally accommodating to us, and very helpful to other guests within our group. Upon entry into room, numbered 24, it was obvious that the staff did a thorough job cleaning prior to our arrival. The beds and linen were both clean and comfortable and the air conditioning was more than adequate for our stay. We also had our traditional lunch there, and it was excellent with awesome service. Keep in mind if you are on the upper floors there will be some stairs to climb, other than that a great old style inn within minutes to numerous great venues.
