This stately 1843 Greek-revival hotel is the essence of Littleton. It's not a luxury hotel. Thayers doesn't need to try to impress anyone. The well-kept rooms retain a quaintly old-fashioned look, with creaky floorboards, exposed pipes, vintage steam radiators, high ceilings, and comfy wing chairs. But of you're traveling on a budget, or just want an authentic northern town experience, history seems to radiate from this place. There's no elevator—good to know if you planned to book an upper-floor room. The Bailiwicks restaurant and bar downstairs is a typical delight: you'd never expect it as you head down the steps, but it's a charmer. Pros: one of the best values in New England. Cons: continental breakfast only.

We have stayed at Thayer's several times in a variety of rooms. We usually make a last minute decision and have found that room or two available to choose from.
On our first visit we stayed in a marvelous two-bedroom suite.
The past couple of visits we were able to get small rooms in the back on the upper floor. The rooms vary in size but are always a great value for the money.
The hotel is right on Main St. in the middle of Littleton. This is a great location for wandering strolling around, and for enjoying their nice balcony.
