The pool, hot tub, sauna were wonderful on a snowy weekend. The room was spacious and clean. The restaurant had a great menu and the bar had a lot of local beer on tap. It was close to Burlington and to Bolton Valley Ski Resort. The staff was friendly. One thing I would change would be the bed. Our room had a very firm bed and it didn’t have real sheets so they kept moving around which made it difficult to get a good nights sleep.

Definitely worth staying here!

Great place to stay in Essex Junction, handy to Burlington. Room was well equipped and a good size. Desk staff was efficient and friendly, and they sell pastries that are great to take to the room and put in the cute refrigerator for breakfast in bed with a cup of coffee from the in-room coffee maker. Two cans of Vermont spring water in cans are provided - no plastic bottles. Great bedding, terry robes, and two luggage racks - nice touches!
