Great place for the price. View was assume. They offer a breakfast, but no one ever said what the hours were. We went at 910am and we could not even find coffee.

Me and my husband could not be more satisfied with this hotel, from the check in desk help, cleaning ladies and anyone that work there were so friendly and polite. We would definitely stay here again.

The room was nasty. No cover over light in bathroom wires hanging. Capet was nasty. Bathtub had cigarette burns all over it. Wengot there early they charged 35 toncheck in 2 hrs early. Window was nasty. Breakfast looked like they put the same food out both days. That room looked as if it had not been updated since they built the place.. if it wasnt for losing the money i would have gotten our money back and went somewhere else.

The area is very quiet and people are respectful. I would recommend a stay to a friend or family. Rooms were clean as well. Breakfast is a plus and good.

Very run-down. Pictures in the website were deceiving, making it look much better than what it was. Trash and debris even in front of the door of the room. Room had a nasty smell. Didn't feel safe, decided to stay elsewhere even if it meant I would lose the money I paid for this place.

perfect to get off the road and crash - just what the doctor ordered! Thank you!

My check gave me exactly what I expected when I saw the room. The clerk wasn't friendly, nor interactive. The room was dated and half of the lights didn't work. The only reason it got 2 stars was because the bed was nice.

Paid for a king bed. Told none available for weeks; I got one 2 nights ago when I stayed here. Also told availability when making reservations via a third party like Expedia you don’t know what you will get when you show up. I told the lady at the front desk with red hair it was bad for business to not give people what they pay for. She said they have plenty of business. I told her not mine anymore. No more hojo.

Hotel room was different from picture on their website. Hotel quests were noisy. Property around hotel was not very clean.

Really like the fact that everyday they clean the room, breakfasts they could improve a lot, it was the very same thing everyday, the last 3 days they were out of milk, but never bought it, overall is a good hotel, beautiful view, pricing is good

No food on site and Chinese restaurant doesn't deliver to here so had to order pizza. Lot of noise outside but stopped before 10. Also since there is a pet fee for each. Would be nice to have a dog area besides the 8 x 10 spot between the buildings that was occupied by two very large pit bulls that were NOT friendly.

Front desk charged us for early check in and did not issue receipt.
2.0
Do not stay here! It is a creepy place. The front desk person seemed clueless. The first room we were given was a mess. It looked like someone was living there. The second room was clean, but showed neglect. The hair dryer was missing and there were sloppy repairs to the walls. The breakfast was practically nonexistent.

This property is in need of a facelift.

Did not have my non smoking room available as per my reservation. Only smoking rooms and would not let me stay after admission of smoke allergy. Total scam and worst hotel experience ever… took the reservation but did not hold it

Great view, good rooms.

We booked 2 rooms- I have email confirmation. only 1 room is available to us! No attempt to rectify. Toilet leaks when flushed. Some lights don’t work. Cobwebs on ceiling- lots!!! Bathroom door doesn’t completely close. Entry door sticks, difficult to open. No tv guide. Broken furniture. I have never been as disappointed. We had planned to extend an additional night- no way now!!!! I believe we have been taken!!! I think a refund is in order.

Stay away!! The hotel is really dirty and so noisy that you can’t sleep

It was not a great exp. The hotel overbooked so we had to pay an extra 45 dollars to check in early to make sure we got the hotel. Also, AC was not working well and overall just a bad exp.

I arrived at 2:10pm and the lobby was completely empty. I tried to check in and the clerk told me that check in was not until 3:00 and I could either wait or pay an extra $45 for "early check in". No one was working on cleaning any of the rooms by that point, and it was really pathetic customer service. Then, when I did check in, they tried to tell me that they had no rooms with 2 doubles available- only kings. Despite the fact I had reserved a room with 2 doubles and made my reservation months earlier. After arguing with them, they mysteriously found that there was a room with 2 doubles after all. I've stayed at this hotel multiple times for VT football games and never had a problem until this year. The current front desk staff really needs to either be replaced or sent to remedial customer service training.

The smell in the room was so unbearable we decided to drive through out the night. So disappointed.

They over sale the rooms, when I arrived they don’t have room for my family

We had booked a reservation and had called to say we would be arriving very late. Hotel said it was no problem. Arrived at midnight and was told sorry no rooms good bye. As there were several college parent weekends on 81 there were absolutely no rooms available for a 120 mile stretch on 81. Now to drive three hours home unacceptable

The breakfast was terrible. The first day they had frozen waffles, egg patties, biscuits, sausage gravy and cereal with no milk. Also, no cream for the coffee and if you wanted tea you had to heat up your water in the microwave. The second day they still had no cream or milk and no plates! No one was around to ask for them. The door handle came off in our hands trying to open the door to get out! Other than that, the view was great!

We got there, the website says check in at 3, this lady said she gave away our room, that i reserved in advance because we weren't there at 2, i literally had to argue for 30 minutes to finally get what we reserved, then when we down for breakfast, there was literally nothing, a box of cereal, but no milk, nothing else there, this is now the second time we've had issues with this hotel
1.0
Way overpriced for the quality of hotel. The refrigerator did not work. The room smelled like cigarette smoke. The breakfast was fair, with minimal options. Motel 6 was half the price of this hotel but similar in quality. The bed was comfortable and the hotel was conveniently located for hiking destinations.
3.0
Breakfast was pretty much non existent. No fruit, watered down juice, no tongs to retrieve egg patties, no biscuits for gravy. I left to go find food.
1.0
Not a good experience at all. It looked like some rooms may have been updated, but my room looked like nothing was maintained since the 80s. Pictures online look way better than in person for all aspects of hotel/room/building. Building was literally crumbling on walkways. There was no fan in the bathroom and hole in wall. No light cover in shower with exposed wires, told front desk, response was "that's how it is supposed to look" . Cigarette burn marks on blankets. Bottom line this is a $20/night hotel at best cause you don't want to sleep in your car. Do yourself a favor look around the area, there are plenty of other hotels on same block as this. The Motel 6 and Super 8 looked in way better shape and were cheaper. We just dealt with it for 2 days, will never stay again.

we were checked into a non smoking room (non smoking sign on our door ) but it smelled of cigarette and our bath /shower had cigarette burn on it , window filthy room was good size ,good wifi , but at breakfast this morning ( good options for breakfast ) no plates were available and coffee dispenser was empty , no staff about to help so we had to go to our car and get our own plates for breakfast toast and waffles , small points but in the half an hour we were at breakfast and with us ringing the reception bell and looking for staff member no one came to attend the breakfast room , our experience at this hotel has been let down by things that shouldn't happen in a hotel . we would give it a 2.5 out of 5 rating
