Rensselaer Vacation Packages

Old rooms, no padding in the mattress, toilet didn’t flush, floor was sticky, you could hear everything that went on outside of the room, including the toilet in the next room. You definitely get what you pay for at this hotel.

This is very much like a quaint bed and breakfast rather than a hotel. My room was in a very old house modified to accommodate paid guests. Now, if that appeals to you, this is a great option. Unfortunately, it did not appeal to me, and the fault was mine--not the people who own and run this establishment. I should have done a much better job investigating before booking this property. I have nothing but good things to say about the hostess and other employees... I messed up, not them.

South Shire is a quaint Victorian Inn on Elm Street within walking distance to the center of Bennington, VT. The Inn has a family feel and elegance. We traveled as a couple. It was easy to get to sites and enjoy fine restaurants. The Inn is in keeping with the feel of strength of the Bennington community, as a place for artists, musicians, and people's expression generally to thrive. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend South Shire.

The room was clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast area was under renovation so that is had to judge. Enjoyed our stay. Would stay again.

Phone didnt have a cord and only one wash cloth in room and we had to use the hand towel as a wash cloth. Front desk didnt have any either. Breakfast was really good! Room was clean and the bed was firm, just the way I like!
