If in the area again I wouldn't look elsewhere. We really enjoyed everything here. Some things to know since they are a little different than a typical spot: 1) No refrigeration in our room. Not sure if all rooms are like that. There's a community fridge behind the bar and it worked just fine for us. 2) Ice is in a small freezer behind the bar that they refill from the kitchen. It worked for us. 3) Breakfast is pretty similar from day to day. Little egg cups (crustless quiche) and an amazing yogurt that you can customize however you wish. Fresh bagels and breads. Coffee setup is well organized and works well. 4) The people are wonderful. As good as it gets. 5) Great rooms. Ours had a very comfortable bed and pillows, a small sitting area where we had a bottle of wine with friends very comfortably and a large bathroom with a great shower and separate tub. 6) No TVs but excellent Wi-Fi. Who has time to watch tv when you're travelling? Not us. I do need to stay connected to work, though, and the Wi-Fi had a reliable connection and decent speed for me. 7) The common areas are very comfortable and as beautiful as you could ever want. So many spaces to settle into without another guest on top of you. 8) Maybe 10 minutes to the downtown area. Not walkable but close enough that you don't really have to plan the trip. We really loved our stay at the Blind Tiger. I would happily return. Just a wonderful place!

Blind Tiger is easily my favorite hotel I've ever stayed at. I can't wait to come back. What an…read moreaesthetically pleasing & cozy dream-come-true! Check-in was seamless & very personable - I rang a bell in the lobby & someone (Paige, I think?) appeared in seconds. My room was ready before their stated 4 PM check-in time, so I was allowed to settle in early. I stayed in the Half Pigeon room (all of the rooms are named & have very different vibes) which was very black & white & abstract. The common areas are designed to perfection. The solarium?! Maybe my favorite room I've ever stepped into in the entire universe. There are multiple fireplaces throughout the first floor. There is a small fridge for guest-use in the bar area, as well as an ice freezer. Snacks in a snack cabinet up for grabs. Breakfast was incredible. A full spread of fruits, yogurt, housemade bread (& gluten-free bread by request), flourless quiche bites, & more. Delicious, fresh-brewed coffee & all sorts of milks to choose from. On day two, they did breakfast to-order rather than a buffet. I assume to reduce food waste. I filled out a card with my desired breakfast order & what time I'd like to eat. It appeared on a tray in the dining room exactly when I requested. This hotel is SO worth the little splurge. I'm already daydreaming about planning a trip back to Burlington to stay here again. I'll pick a different room next time to experience something new. Thank you to the Blind Tiger team for creating such a beautiful, welcoming space. I didn't know hotels could feel like this!

Adorable Inn in the center of Middlebury, VT. Close to everything and the staff is wonderful. I…read morehave stayed here many times, and each time it is better and better. The owner is constantly making improvements such as new furniture for the rooms, updating the mattresses, adding keyless entry locks, or even finding a gorgeous antique or new piece of art. It definitely shows that this Inn is a labor of love! You will not be disappointed!

I loved the amenities, like Lake Champlain chocolates and a small bottle of maple syrup, all the amazing parts of Vermont were there to welcome me in my room. I also thought the self-check in was great so I didn't have to see a single person during my entire stay so I felt safe COVID wise. Highly recommend!

I agree with a previous reviewer that this is the best B&B I've ever stayed in. The most…read moreoutstanding thing is the staff. The breakfast part of the B&B is phenomenal. I was a bit disappointed the first morning when I saw a continental breakfast laid out. It looked good though with fantastic granola, fruit, smoothies, and juice. But when I sat down, a full, made-to-order breakfast was also offered. The only mistake I made was in not taking a picture of the huge waffle covered with sliced strawberries and whipped cream. I think the morning manager Allie was responsible for the menu. But this isn't all. We chatted with the other managers and got suggestions about where to eat dinner and what to do. And there was more to do right at the inn. A bar is open every night if there are customers. A fellow living in the neighborhood stopped at the bar one night, and we got even more information from him. There's plenty of parking. Dozens of restaurants and shops are within a block or two, so if you are too tired to drive somewhere, such as Stowe, there are a number of good choices for dinner with a short walk. The room and the parlor/lobby make you feel it's the 19th century. A jigsaw puzzle was on the coffee table and being slowly put together by guests. Kids were playing with the many toys and games there too. And all the other guests seemed to appreciate the Old Stagecoach Inn as much as we did, giving it a community feel. The only cautions are there is no elevator in part of the inn and there was no TV in our large room. However, since we felt we were in a 19th century, Victorian house, a TV would have been out of place. They said they may add a TV, but like us, they were worried that it would look odd with all the antiques. And yes the main building dates to 1820 and a stagecoach inn, but it was later turned into a mansion and even late extra rooms were added. When we toured the Shelburne Museum, a docent at the Vermont inn building said he had helped convert the house to an inn years ago and remembered the beautiful woodwork in some of the rooms.

My best friend and I had a reservation at the Old Stagecoach Inn and had to cancel due to official…read moresevere storm and travel hazard warningsissued across New England. Flights were canceled or delayed, and even the airline sent automatic refund offers for safety reasons. Every other small business involved in our trip, four hotels, Airbnbs, our Turo car rental, and the airlines, provided full refunds or credits. The Old Stagecoach Inn was the only one that refused to offer any flexibility, citing that severe weather is a "foreseeable" risk and that I should have purchased trip insurance. I understand small businesses rely on reservations, but the response from management felt unnecessarilyj rigid and dismissive, especially compared to the empathy shown by other small, family owned Vermont inns. Given how the situation was handled, I would not stay here or recommend it to others. P.S. We don't think extreme weather is "foreseeable" since we had been checking the weather up to a week prior.

All of the suites are accessed from an outside warren of buildings with walks and stairs. It snowed a few inches while we were there and the stairs and walks were only marginally cared for. The pool was old and the area was not cleaned as often as necessary for the amount of use. Even when brought to front desks attention they said it wouldn't get done until the next morning. The rooms were spacious. Lots if closet space. Kitchen area was well appointed. Furniture was a little worn and dingy. Loved the fireplace! Bring your own dura flame logs. The biggest disappointment were that the beds were not quality nor comfortable!

Very Disappointed!…read more While this hotel may be adequate for spring, summer, or fall travel, it is not for winter. These old buildings lose so much heat that is impossible to keep them at a comfortable temperature. While I agree that the staff were professional and friendly, there are not enough of them. At 8PM, I could not get an extra pillow (required for sleeping on sofa bed) and blanket delivered because there was only 1 staff member (or perhaps they did not want to go out into the cold). They also double booked the room and another customer ended up with a legitimate key to my traveling companions room (good thing they were there). Food was average and the eating area was not kept very clean. Of all the designs, these with outside entrances are the worst, especially on the bottom floor. Everyone going up and down the stairs sounds like elephants above your room and every door slam (and it always slams) an earthquake. This particular Residence Inn is in desperate need of a renovation. It is very old and run down. As a loyal Marriott customer, I stay in a lot of them, but will never stay in this one again. At least it was inexpensive.

Green Mountain Transit bus stop is also right across hotel and goes both to the airport and waterfront downtown if you don't have a car. Otherwise it's a 15 min drive.

If you're seeking a 5 star this is not it, however for a night or two it's perfect due to the location. Fab location and I mean fab! Conveniently located across a movie theatre and walking distance to Main ave filled with eateries and stores!! Bed was a bit lumpy therefore I couldn't sleep well. Rooms were designed with paper thin walls and doors. I mean you could hear people in hallways, next door, you could hear their TVs in the next room etc. Parking has a $12 a night fee-I guess could have been worse but still was a bit shocking. Lobby modern and staff friendly. Overall I'd stay again for the location and pricing. Would have liked to try the breakfast but didn't get a chance to.

My room looked nothing like the photos they posted here for marketing. The duvet wasn't even in a cover, just between two flat bed sheets. Also, AC unit just stopped working half way through the night. I wouldn't stay here again. The city itself is not nice either. Not much to do and run down. Too bad for the capital of VT. Waterbury near by was much nicer and will look there next time.

Beds were super comfy and pillows were also great. I've stayed here twice and both times were very pleasant. Staff also came and made your bed and gave fresh sheets and towels EVERYWHERE MORNING, very nice. Only real negative I saw was the pool was pretty cloudy and the room smelt strongly or chlorine, and the hot tub was out of order but the gym was still very nice.
