Overall Ratings & Reviews The Equinox Golf Resort & Spa

The staff here is amazing. Super friendly. The hotel rooms were nice for an older building. Stay here for the history.

Great hotel, beautiful grounds and property.

Good location, rooms are nice but need some update. The wifi is not good at all.

Really relaxing

No sign indicating ‘reception’ at the front driveway, only loading information

The property was historic and very quaint and the common areas were nice. Coffee was good. For the price paid -carpet in halls & elevator needed replaced/woodwork repainted. Air conditioner was a window unit/room outdated.

Just love the very historic sence

Someone needs to walk around with a can of white paint. The devil is in the details and scuff marks ( elevator the worst as it’s used by guest and service) , doors, etc. The food was good and staff attentive. The Taconic, down the road, is a much better choice.

I’ve been a guest at the Equinox on and off for 30 years. Our family holds fond memories of Christmases, Thanksgivings, and other special occasions spent at this "former" grand hotel. Unfortunately, the rest of this visit was far from peaceful—and wholly inconsistent with the standards and legacy of the Equinox. When I entered my room, the drawers were all left open, the toilet seat was up, and it was immediately clear the room had not been properly serviced. The secondary AC unit didn’t work, leaving the room uncomfortably hot and making sleep impossible. The television was also non-functional, which was especially frustrating given the unfolding global events I wanted to follow. By 8:00 a.m., I was woken by shouting from housekeeping staff in the hallway. I took the stairs to avoid the noise, only to encounter more shouting from staff on the stairwell. Hoping to reset the day, I grabbed a cup of coffee and headed to the fireplace lounge, only to find the area littered with leftover food, empty alcohol cups, and disheveled pillows—clear signs it had not been cleaned or reset for morning guests. I reported these issues to the front desk and left multiple messages—one with the desk, two with the manager, one with Jackie, and one via the general reservation line. No one has followed up.

I had a wonderful time and did Rhumba for the first time in the pool! Lovely walk to the pond also!

Great spot!

The facility is lovely. As much as the coffee set up near the lobby was good it is still better to have one in the room when you first wake up. The TV reception could be improved if possible. Watching Ladies golf tournament and when the 18th hole deciding game it lost connection, other than that everything was lovely

The hotel has an incredible structure and great potential, but unfortunately, my stay was not pleasant. I chose this hotel because my son had a lacrosse tournament early Saturday morning, and I wanted to sleep well and be rested. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen. We stayed in room 136, and the door noise throughout the night was constant and disturbing. There were also loud conversations in the hallway. As a result, we had a terrible night and barely slept. We woke up early to have breakfast at the hotel, for which I paid separately. I was okay with the high price, as well as the high cost of the overall stay, but the issue wasn’t the money — it was the service. We waited a long time for a woman to come take our order. When our food finally arrived, my son decided he wanted the same pancakes I ordered, but we didn’t have time to place another order before the tournament. I told him to politely ask for an extra plate and eat one of mine. The woman treated him so poorly that, by the time he returned with the plate (after a long wait), we had no time left and had to leave without eating. I paid a high price to be treated poorly and not even have breakfast. I also saw at least two other families leaving the breakfast area without eating due to the same terrible service. This was definitely not the experience I was expecting. That said, I want to highlight that the room was clean and comfortable, and the restaurant service at dinner was excellent.

Very old historic structure. Beautiful surroundings and good bar. Had to walk a great distance to my room. A little tough for an old guy and his older wife. Very pricey!

Nice room, beautiful grounds, relaxing hot tub!

Lovely place. Relatively reasonable pricing. But the parking and hotel entry was confusing. The parking is so far to walk. Not hard for me but it was hard for my husband who is disabled with one prosthetic leg. The food choices in the hotel was limited as well though we ate in the Falcon Restaurant and we loved the cocktails and the staff was overly attentive and kind. I don’t know but I guess I expected so much more. At least a breakfast included in the pricing. The room was also kind of dated. It served its purpose for what we needed which was for business for one day in Bennington. It was clean and reasonably priced.

everything on this trip was going wrong until I got to the equinox. Expensive but worth every penny no better way to find peace when everything is falling apart. I walked in drenched because I was caught in a down pour while Mountain Biking. they let me bring the bikes to the room and the spa was just what i needed. great food and very welcoming.

Lovely area Walk to shops was a bit longer than expected but hotel has everything you need

It is a lovely historic hotel in a beautiful setting but tired and in need of renovation. Carpets were dirty and smelly

We a been coming to the Equinox multiple times a year for over 20 years but had not been here in over a year because the last time I was there it was not a pleasant experience. I am happy to say things are back to being very enjoyable again and we will be back soon!
