Meh its ok.

This property is just ok. The room itself is a standard hotel room, nothing fancy. The bed was very comfortable. Saw some ants in the room. Breakfast was just meh, again the standard hotel breakfast. Powdered eggs and bacon. The pool was closed the first day, we got two different stories about it. It was disappointing because we booked the hotel because of the heated pool.

We came for the Metallica concert at VT and we could not have imagined an easier time getting to and from the show with the bus transportation. The room was quiet and spacious for 4 people and we loved the kitchen area in the room. Staff was awesome and extremely helpful.
