Decent basic budget option. A bit sketchy outside with some homeless people late in the evening and in the morning but not bothering anyone. Would stay again if I had to given how expensive hotels are in the Burlington area.

90% Fantastic Stay
The receptionist was absolutely fantastic. She even remembered the time of my wake-up call on the second day of me calling for a wake-up call. One downfall - they allow pets at this hotel and there was dog "poop" in the hall when my husband went to the store at 5:30 a.m. It was cleaned up by the time i left the hotel at 7:30. Very convenient location and great rooms. Will stay there the next time wa go to Lake Champlain.

Not family friendly
Stayed 1 night for a lacrosse tournament 1 adult 3 kids. Check in went smooth and staff was friendly. Pool not open disappointed because that was a perk staying here. Became apparent more people lived there than not and dogs allowed. Sketchy people hanging in parking lot police there in the morning.

This was just a place to hang after a late flight into BTV. The deadbolt didn't work. All we could smell was pot. Attempts to paint the walls were interesting at best. I seldom whine, but this place sucks. Avoid!

Staff were excellent
We stayed for 4 nights. Everything was ok. Rooms were neat. Bathroom were clean. A/C worked fine. Location was excellent. Close to Burlington and have 3 restaurants within walking distance.
The staff were excellent, especially Heather, who helped us move to different room when there was a leak in the bathroom.
The only thing was some parts of the hallway in front of rooms with dogs, might smell like a wet dog smell. Some dog barking at nights but ok for the most part.
I had to point out that the staff were the stars in this facility.

Pass on this one
Do not stay here. The entry way smelled like vomit, there was feces and urine all over the toilet, carpets all stained up and less than savory people living there.

Obviously undergoing renovation. Room was clean and clearly recently renovated. Comfortable. Hallway carpeting definitely showing wear.
For a non-smoking facility, the hallways and elevator reeked of pot smoke.

This is a welfare home Dont stay here
Vagerants everywhere, reeks of pot. Every door needs to be slammed to close and noise all hours of night. Staff does try to administer a nightmare with great attitude and attention

Great staff, but…
I was here on business. There’s an uncomfortable “outdoor culture “ around the hotel. I’m wondering if it temporarily houses homeless folks. I didn’t feel in danger as an adult male, but I wouldn’t bring my family here.
Ten or twenty people in lawn chairs always in the parking lot smoking, hanging out together, a lot of dogs barking as I pass from car to lobby. I can smell pot.
They weren’t menacing, it was just unusual so uncomfortable.
Room was clean - minimal amenities. Two tiny bars of soap. Bed was terrible. No support, springs poking my back. Roomy enough.
The best part of it though was the staff - friendly and warm - from the custodian to the front desk - they were an unexpected surprise.
A super ethnic restaurant nearby, close on off to highway.

2 nights for lacrosse
My son and I stayed at this motel for a lacrosse tournament. I will say the staff at the front desk were very nice and polite. They answered every question I had with a smile on their faces and made sure we had everything we need. The place itself could use a deep clean and some updating. The bathroom was very outdated and small. The room was small but it was fine for 2 of us, I couldn't imagine 4 people in 1 room with 2 beds. The people around were really sketchy, and made me a little uncomfortable. But knowing that there were other families staying there as well made me feel more at ease. The pool was closed - which was disappointing because it was so hot, so I can't comment on that. Overall it was fine for the time we needed to be there, I am just not used to seeing so many homeless people / people struggling.

Overall one of the better Motel 6 properties I have seen. The building seems newer and the rooms are more modern. Rooms are interior and have easy parking and elevators. Generally clean and quiet.

We were surprised to find that this hotel is being used by the State of Vermont to house people who are on financial assistance. There were always people hanging around outside the hotel and that made us feel a little insecure.

Garbage
One of the worst hotels I have ever stayed at… this was a glorified crack house
I should have tan when I saw bullet proof glass and warning signs for human trafficking… oh and the 3 drug deals and prostitute I saw in the parking lot.
On a positive note the toilet was clean…

Super clean room, 2 fast food resteraunts in the same plaza making breakfasts convienent. Located right off of the highway yet didnt notice traffic noise. Only downside was a very small space to hang any clothing made almost useless by the fridge and microwave being there.
