Overall Nice stay. Food in Tavern just ok. Several of us complained about the nachos. Got back at 9 pm and room wasn’t cleaned. When contacted front desk they asked what I wanted. I said I would like the room done. Strange question I‘d say.

Disappointing stay but good food

Pros: Room was not overly crowded, there was a heat lamp in the bathroom, food was very good.
Cons: Have people who care checking people in at the front desk. Fix the little things (remote control, blinds), offer a few healthy alternatives food-wise
Location: We wanted to be near the airport & it is. We did not explore the immediate area because we already had plans.
Food was excellent but the stay was disappointing overall for the price. The room was nothing special. The bathroom had a pedestal sink so there was absolutely nowhere to put my "things." We arrived early and were told by the young lady at the front desk that she would call us as soon as the room was ready. I get that we arrived early and the room was not ready, but when we went back to check, another clerk was now on duty and our room was actually ready. Maybe the room had only just become ready, but it was our general impression that the young lady that checked us in wanted to do only what was required of her and nothing more. The room was clean and was not crowded with furniture, but it took a lot of effort to get one of the blinds to close for privacy and the TV remote did not fully work. When we walked in the main ground floor of our building to get to our room, it smelled as though it used to be a smoking facility at some point in it's past and that stale smell still lingered. For the price, we will not stay there again.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We are sorry to hear that The Spa was full during your visit. The team does everything possible to fit in everyone looking for appointments, but are unfortunately restricted by the number of treatment rooms available. Appointments can be made well in advance however, and we would love to help you secure a massage time before your next stay.

Great VT Hotel

Pros: This hotel is a full service hotel, pool, spa, restaurant, if you need R&R everything is there, you technically don't have to leave the property.
Cons: bathrooms are small.
Location: As described above
Beautiful Country side Hotel, near shopping, and if you golf there is a lovely golf course. Close to Burlington VT took a lunch cruise of Lake Champlain, walked the beautiful water front, went shopping on Church Street.
