The mattress needed desperate replacement. It was a holiday weekend so prices were high but woke up with horrible hip pain many times through the night due to the cheapest mattress I have ever slept on. An airbed would have been better!

Stench and Bedbugs

Stench & Bed Bugs!! My parents and I used to stay at the Smart Suites frequently when I was attending school in the Burlington area. Back then the hotel was always clean and comfortable. Unfortunately, things have changed. Upon arrival and parking in the hotel lot I saw an individual by the dumpsters and trees with a roaring fire going in a metal trash can. It was an alarming welcome. Inside, I was instantly aware of a strong odor in the halls and my room. The odor was hard to take. I was grateful I could open the windows to slightly mitigate it. I also bought febreeze at a nearby store to try to further help.Unfortunately I was still very aware of the smell. And it made my partner nauseous. The front desk staff said they were unable to help solve the issue beyond spraying the hallway with their own air freshener. When I returned home i immediately went to clean myself and my belongings and noticed a bed bug while showering. I will never stay at The Smart Suites again and I will warn anyone thinking of staying there not to.

Fine for one night

Overall, our stay was fine for one night. No heat was on when we walked into our room. The insides of the cabinets in the kitchen did not seem finished and therefore unclean. The beds were uncomfortable. The front desk staff was nice and helpful.

This is easily one of the best hotels I’ve stayed at in Vermont! The room was huge—bigger than a studio apartment—with a full kitchen, cable TV, and a great view. My stay was super last minute due to a snowstorm, but the staff was incredibly sweet and accommodating. Only downsides: the hallways and bedroom had a nursing home-like smell, but a little room spray took care of it. Also, the breakfast was pretty bad, even for a continental setup. Other than that, the stay was perfect, and I’d definitely return—just skipping breakfast next time!
