I suppose the property served our purpose. But, during our first night we discussed moving to another hotel but feared we would still be charged for our second night. It looks like the extended Vermont hotel/motel program is still happening here. There were gusts next to us that purchased a good sized gas grill and were preparing their meals with it on our shared wooden deck. Thus, we did not feel too safe about this. The slamming doors next to us were annoying as well prompting our wanting to move. But, we decided to “ make the best of it “ but would not rebook here. I found two sheet metal nails within my parking spot . I’ve been in the hotel business for 30 years, I don’t enjoy writing negative reviews but a property can always use guest feedback good or bad.

I booked this place quickly the morning of because we were in Canada and I had limited cellphone service. I trusted the name of Best Western without reading reviews which was a mistake I won’t make again. The staff was friendly but the rooms were old and dirty. I booked here to save some money but I regretted it the moment we stepped foot into the room. The bathroom looked gross, we decided to skip showers. My sheets were dirty, brown stains on the comforter. I slept in my clothes and used no covers. We felt uncomfortable the entire night and barely slept. The walls were paper thin and you could hear the guests upstairs as well. There was a glass sliding door that led to a shared patio that connected to the other rooms outside which housed long term residents as we could see them right outside our door. The room had an adjoining door on both sides of the room. I cannot recommend staying here. Spend the money to be comfortable.

I think they’re going through a remodel or recently became a Best Western. We had three rooms and all smelled like cigarettes. Also air didn’t work well and rooms were warm. A lot of the rooms seemed to be getting redone and it was a little loud. My bathroom shower had nothing to put the soap and shampoo on except the ground.

Someone had smoked in the room. It was missing a nightstand lamp. Furniture and decorations beat up. Patched and warped tub surround. The a/c unit was loud and the clean filter light was on. This place needs some maintenance. Louis at front desk was nice. I will avoid Best Westerns from now on. Dennis

Our room had several occurrences of water damage and the furniture had several stains in numerous places. The breakfasts were pretty good until our last day and they ran out of main dishes by 8:00. The bed was newer and comfortable so there was one saving grace.

The “non-smoking”!room smelled strongly like cigarettes. In addition the room was not in good condition. Toilet seat was loose, there was part of the fake wood floor that was chipped and loose, and a light bulb was out.

first room had only one bed when reservation was for 2beds. this was hotels .com/expedia error when front desk person showed me their referral screen. The gentleman kindly offered me a second room which also only had one bed because that's the only thing he had available but we at least had a pull out couch. went to pull the couch out and it was very difficult to do so and upon finally getting it open there were literally blood stained sheets I had to go back to the front desk again and we were given a third room. The gentleman at the front desk was accommodating but situation was a little unnerving. We would've just change to go elsewhere but this was a nonrefundable room and it was nearly 10 o'clock at night after a 6 hour drive.

The property told me that they would be in contact and refund me twice however they didn’t and charged me. Gave me a smoking room, didn’t make it right even when there was almost complete vacancy there. Absolutely disgusting room and very upset they didn’t keep their word.

Ash tray room

Understanding this isn't a luxury room, However, I do have some expectations. I expect the room to be clean and smell clean. This was a non-smoking room but had a heavy heavy cigarette smell. The floor was spongy and felt 1/2 rotten, the Bathroom was passable but the caulking in the shower was all cracked with mildew around the edges. The AC/Heat pump was so loud when I kicks on, I slept very little.
