“The Palmer House Resort, part of the Ascend Collection, presents an interesting mix; while its Manchester location is convenient and the staff is helpful, some areas require attention. The on-site golf course is a genuine plus, and the inclusion of breakfast is a welcome touch. I think its multiple recreational facilities make it a viable choice for active travelers, provided one is prepared for a somewhat dated aesthetic in certain rooms.”
