Great stay. It's been over 20 years since I graduated from VT so needless to say, things have changed. The young lady at the front desk gave great local restaurant recommendations for dinner, so we could avoid going to a typical chain or my old dive bar hangouts (which are still around). Rooms were clean, modern, quiet and the bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was included and better than the standard bagel, muffin, cereal breakfasts we normally get to experience. Would definitely stay here again.

Great Staff and Rooms

Hotel was great. We had a problem with the A/C the first day and they immediately moved us to another room. Can't comment on what it would be like when V/T is in session, but it was very quiet during our stay.

The front desk staff was amazing and friendly. They saw how late we came in and checked us in quickly. However the bathroom had hair in the tub and smelled like it was not clean. The one bed had what looked like period stains on the mattress and there was a towel to cover it up. Made us question whether the room was even cleaned and if the bed was stripped after last guest.
