“Shabby, old inn that feels undercared for and more like a hostel-stay”
The room was spacious and the bed felt comfortable, though it did creak and needed tightening. I never got any guidance on how to get hot water; it worked once but then stopped, so I ended up washing my face with cold water. The location was close to downtown, and parking was available at the back, which was great for those who mainly walk to town. Breakfast was very basic, similar to a Hampton Inn spread but with fewer options. No one was attending the breakfast area during our arrival at 8 am, and the whole setup looked like it was straight out of a fridge and microwave—nothing fresh, except for some lukewarm sausage links and a few days‑old bananas. The breakfast room was dirty; tables hadn’t been cleared before we arrived, so we ate over other people’s crumbs. The tables and chairs were haphazardly arranged, and a little more cleaning and cohesive decor would have made the experience much better. The bedrooms were large, but the furniture was rickety, and both my room and my friend’s room had dirty linens under both beds. Her sink was completely clogged. Hot water came on only intermittently, and the windows had slat blinds but no curtains, so the building across the street could see into my room; curtains would have helped. Mixed, leftover hangers were in the closets, adding to the shabby feel. There was no plug or extension cord on either bedside table, and the wall‑mounted TVs were angled crookedly and only showed one news channel. Why have TVs at all if they’re so limited? No special instructions were given. We only saw one staff member throughout our stay, and the place felt under‑tended overall. The price wasn’t cheap, so I expected more charm, style, customer service, and general care. I was disappointed that I couldn’t make this my new go‑to in Montpelier.
