This is great for being close to the airport, the breakfast is good, and it's clean. Unfortunately, our toilet wouldn't stop running, the handle on the closet was broken and the air conditioner had a short in it. We got very hot during the night. Additionally, the room above us was very loud at 4:00 AM.

Clean room, comfortable bed. Staff was friendly and efficient and the breakfast was good. Our room fronted the main road and was noisy at night so next time we would opt for a rear facing room.

Amazing stay

It was a last minute booking that my mom had to make for me because my flight got cancelled and I needed to stay back in Burlington until Wednesday morning. The services that this hotel provides is excellent. I needed a ride from the airport to the hotel and they’ve provided me free Uber to get to the hotel to check in. The hotel is close by restaurants and stores that is walking distance. Their breakfast was very tasty and I was satisfied. They were very kind when I told them I needed an early shuttle back to the airport because of my early flight. I highly recommend this place to stay.

Holiday Inn is exclusive eneough to demand a $50 damages deposit but fair eneough to only charge it at the end if it's actually needed and if not? return the money. It gives the benefit of the doubt to guests unlike most companies that assume the worse of people over one or two incidents.

Nothing special. Could have been special if they had a breakfast « go bag » for early BTV flights - since it is included, the hotel is clearly is a transit/not destination location, and other Holiday Inn Express hotels have it.
