My son and I stayed here for a college visit for the weekend. Yes, the property is older. I love finding the best value for a place to stay. I don’t need perfection. The beds were comfy, there was a mini fridge and microwave, and it was clean. Friendly staff. Everything worked as it should. No issues. Would stay here again.

This place is dirty. No elevators the beds are awful. Then we find out the place is for people who are homeless and party out in the parking lot all night with no security cameras. And if you smoke you have to go outside. As a women I didn't feel safe to do so. Also they charges us a extra 150.00 plus the 222.20. for the room we were killing bugs. There was 3 if staying for 2 days and we got 2 towels and 2 ha ND towels. The place is a dive. Pay the extra and go some where else

As I pulled into the parking lot, there was a dirty hotel towel hanging from a tree branch in front of my car. There were 15-20 subcutaneous needles on the ground in front of my car. When I brought this up to the attention of the counter staff, it was met with a shrugged indifference. Ceilings were stained. Sink was clogged and did not drain properly. Door was painted- but looked like they were running out of pain and did a few more swipes. The 3 stars given at the time of my booking was generous.

The place is conveniently situated near a grocery store, and shopping outlines, and also a 7 minute drive from Burlington but is an absolute dump. Red stains all over the carpet. Completely outdated room. All the furniture is chipped, warn, filthy. The wall over the toilet is filthy with handprints. The place has more of the feel of a drug den than a hotel. The first floor had people living in it with signs on the doors that said tomorrow was inspection day and to be ready, so I'm guessing homeless people are being sheltered here as well.

Found old food from previous people who had the room before us. Lady nicely gave us the emergency room. It was late i was tired, never checked the room until the morning. Found a open razor blade under our bed. Also found what looked like blood splatter through out the whole room. We were told a month ago the cops had to remove a couple people. That tells me the room was never cleaned on top of it not even being vacuumed. There was still hair in the shower from whoever. I feel like if the cleaners step up a little, the place will be fine.

There is no elevator, but that was not stated when I called for transportation information, so we had to lug loads of luggage up to the third floor.

The recent snowfall had not been fully cleared from the parking lot and some of the walkways. This is Vermont, so it is not out of the ordinary, but it would have been nice to have a clear path to walk from my car to the entrance. Check-in went smoothly. Our room was very warm when we entered (81°F), but it was very easy to adjust the temperature down to a reasonable 70°F. The room was clean and did not smell of cigarette smoke (as others have reported). We used the room's refrigerator for our dinner leftovers. There was also a microwave, TV and safe. The beds were comfortable. The toilet had some issues. The toilet seat and lid would not stay up unless you held them up. Also, the tank-filling mechanism might need adjustment. Every 10 minutes, it would add more water to the tank. The sound of that got annoying overnight, so we just closed the door. We were only staying one night, so I mentioned it to the front desk attendant at check-out. The free breakfast consisted of coffee, tea and some pre-packaged muffins and cinnamon rolls.
