Airbnbs or bed and breakfasts are usually more our cup of tea, but the four humans of our family…read morerecently squeezed into a double queen bedroom at Hampton Inn Rutland for the camaraderie of staying with other ski team families. It was a blast and the hotel was quite pleasant for the genre (mid-range, family friendly). Pros: - There's a nice common room downstairs with a fireplace, where we were able to gather with a big group of friends and share dinner. It's also where breakfast is served in the a.m. - Breakfast service begins at 6 a.m. -- great for those who need an early start. - My kiddos love "Hotel Breakfast" as they call it, and this was no exception. There are two DIY waffle irons with lots of wonderfully unhealthy toppings; hot mini omelettes, sausage, and potatoes; muffins, bagels, toast; cold cereal and oatmeal; fruit salad and whole fruit. - We either had very quiet neighbors or the walls are reasonably well soundproofed. - There's a small, heated pool. It's hyperchlorinated as most hotel pools are, but a nice place to congregate and relax with friends after skiing. - There's a small, but adequate gym -- and a conference room should you need it. - The hotel adjoins a shopping complex that includes a Hannaford's supermarket, an Office Depot and a Michael's. Convenient for friends who had to find poster board for a school project due the following Monday. And we picked up fruit trays and dessert for our team dinner. - The hotel is dog friendly! We traveled without our pup this time, but did get to hang with some great guest canines. This is a massive plus in our book. - Beds were quite comfortable and staff were nice! Two people even dressed up as Santa and Mrs. Claus to say hello to the kids at dinner. :) Cons: - The elevator was out of order during our stay, so those of us staying on the third floor with lots of ski gear to carry up and down got a GREAT workout. - The pool is quite small, more of a cooler-than-usual hot tub than anything else -- so don't expect to swim laps. - There's no fan or ventilation in the bathroom. After four showers, it gets pretty steamy. Neutral: - It's about 30 minutes from Killington Mountain. There are more proximate, dog friendly hotels (e.g. Killington Mountain Lodge) and Airbnbs, but Hampton Inn Rutland may be better priced. - Our room temperature defaulted to 68 or 69 F. I love that it's eco-friendly and it was a good temperature for putting on ski gear -- but we usually keep our home a bit warmer than this. You can change the temperature of course, but ours kept defaulting to the cooler setting at night. - We're not big TV watchers, but for those who are, I think you need to sign in to Netflix, Disney+, etc... with your own account logins. The hotel does not have its own subscriptions. Overall, this was a great, budget-friendly place to stay with a group!

It could use an additional plug upgrade or two. Cons: Internet SUCKS!! Be warned. The mattress was old/kinda flat but the pillows were decent enough for an "average" sleep. The key locks need an upgrade and once again didn't like me :/ The breakfast was...okay. They did offer pancakes and potatoes but they were cold/hard. Bathroom shower was nicely renovated but you could tell it's bigger than the previous one (odd ledge). As I said it was a mixture of old and new. So at least they *try* to keep it somewhat clean and updated.

And at night there is so little light pollution you can see all the stars. Very pretty! The room we stayed in (Forest Glen) is cozy and pretty basic, but it did its job well. The bed was comfortable, and the fan and air conditioning were easy to control so we could sleep comfortably. The shower works very well with good pressure and heat. There is a small TV if you feel like watching anything, but definitely enjoy the area instead! The Vermont Inn has a bar inside that closes at 9pm. We didn't try it, but it looked so nice and cozy. If you purchase directly through the website, then breakfast is included each morning. Every day they offer pancakes, french toast, or eggs and bacon, and then there is a daily special omelette. We tried omelettes, french toast, and pancakes, and all were quite good. And the coffee is surprisingly tasty. It appears to be a family operation with the kids taking orders. They are cute and do a great job! Definitely a great place to stay if you're in the Killington area!

There are many cozy public rooms to sit, play board games, read or just talk. The hosts Mike and Kayla were very friendly and accomodating. The location is perfect as it is minutes away from Killington and Pico mountains. The views from the lawn of the mountains are stunning. Rooms were excellent and there was plenty of space. There is a Sauna and pool outside during the summer months. We met a couple that were staying there and planning their wedding with the hosts and it sounded like it was going to be fantastic. They also host bridal showers and other events. The breakfasts were fantastic and our waiters Emerson and Jameson provided excellent service. Thanks to Mike, Kayla and family for great memories. I would highly recommend The Vermont Inn and we will definitely be back.

The furniture felt old. The room has a flat-screen TV. The Bathroom The bathroom felt old but clean. It has a bathtub with shower. A hairdryer was provided Restaurant/Entertainment I don't believe they have a restaurant on-site but what I love about this hotel was that it's next to Denny's! So we did have our breakfast there the next morning. Hotel Service/Amenities Wifi was provided in the room and free. They provide breakfast as well in the morning, it's included with your hotel stay. Parking on-site was also free. Overall Not sure if I would stay here again, is just the furniture were old. I also don't like the fact that people who worked here were old (not that am against old people working). It's just they shouldn't be doing the hard work, the housekeeping, and stuff. I just felt bad. It would be nice if they were stationed on the front desk instead of doing the housekeeping duties.

My wife and I had our wedding last week at the Red Clover Inn. It was exceptional in every way…read more The setting, the accommodations, the food, the staff, the surroundings. As we had guests coming from all around the country, we decided to make a long weekend around our celebration, starting with a private smaller dinner on Thursday night in the tavern of the Inn (about 30 people). It was like our own private restaurant, which then turned into dancing with a DJ. The fresh salmon and farm-to-table greens (both fresh and sautéed) were top notch. On Friday night, we had a BBQ outdoors for our rehearsal dinner, with about 50 people. Again, the food was exceptional, especially the brisket (brined and smoked by them) and the Mac and Vermont Cheddar Cheese, and the fruit pies (mmm). On Saturday night, I had rib-eye that was cooked to perfection...amazing that they could do that with so many guests. My (new) wife had halibut that was tender and delicious. And our guests raved about the vegetarian option (Roasted Heirloom Tomato, Stuffed with quinoa, Kalamata Olives, Pine Nuts, Basil Pesto). Every day that offered healthy and delicious options for breakfast and lunch, with the Sunday brunch especially broad buffet options. Kudos to chefs Mike and Tom and the entire staff for keeping many foodie guests so happy. And the liquor choices were also incredible with three different signature cocktails each night, fantastic wine and local beers. The setting of the Red Clover Inn is magical, with many beautiful spaces, indoor and out. There is are large lawns, a pond filled with lilies, flowers everywhere, surrounded by forests and views of mountains. We had our wedding ceremony outdoors on the lawn, with my wife and I standing under a 100-year old apple tree with amazing 360-degree views. The indoors have many fun spaces, from a quaint Vermont comfy living room, to a sun room, to large dining room, and large tavern space, and fun bar area. And the rooms! The Red Clover offers a number of different options for rooms as we took over the entire estate. From super luxurious king bed suites with oversize jetted tubs and fireplaces, to smaller, well-appointed queen suites, to a 5-bedroom house (where we put all the teenagers together). There are beautiful spaces for both the bridesmaids and groomsmen to get ready separately. During each day, we had fun activities - both on property and off. The Red Clover offers a ton of lawn games and we played them all - frisbee, football, corn hole, ladder ball. On Friday morning, we went to the Killington Adventure Center for a mountain coaster, zip lines and ropes course, followed by lunch at the top of the gondola. On Saturday morning, we went on a local hike with unbelievable views (and a bit of the Appalachian Trail). And on Sunday, we went to a swimming hole with crystal clear water, multiple waterfalls and cliff jumps - so fun! Can't wait to come back for our anniversary!!!

The continental breakfast included make your own waffles which were delicious. The staff was helpful and accommodating. There was coffee, soft drinks, water and snacks available all day and night. The main inn had 3 or 4 areas to relax and play games. I cant say enough about the Red Clover Inn. I'm sure it would be a great place to stay during ski season especially if you wanted to get away from the big resorts and wanted a more relaxing place to enjoy your evening.

I understand that hotels have cancellation policies, but I was disappointed by the complete lack of flexibility or willingness to work with me.

This experience has left a very negative impression, and this hotel chain has lost my future business. Customer service matters, and this was not the way to earn a returning customer.

The only place where the humans get treated as well as the dogs (and that's saying a lot)…read more Usually, "dog-friendly" means you have to compromise on the human experience. At The Paw House Inn, you don't choose--you get the best of both worlds. My partner and I came up for a ski trip to Killington, and honestly, the service we received rivaled any luxury hotel we've stayed at, while Taco (our dog) got treated like royalty. Service for the Whole Pack: Mitch and Jeff are the dream team. Mitch's communication was flawless--he navigated us through some iffy weather on arrival day and acted as a top-tier concierge for the rest of the trip. He didn't just point us to a map; he gave us a locals-only tip for a public golf course that allows cross-country skiing. It was the highlight of our trip--fresh tracks for us, and off-leash freedom for Taco. Jeff, meanwhile, made us feel incredibly welcome (and made Taco his best friend with his lightning-fast treat distribution). It's rare to find hosts who care just as much about the quality of the human's dinner (sending us to Sweet Caroline's and Roots--both huge hits) as they do about the dog's happiness. The Stay: Breakfast was delicious every morning, but the real highlight was that Taco could sit right there with us. It was a lovely reminder of home--he never leaves our side until breakfast is over, and being able to keep that routine here made the trip feel incredibly special. The boarding facility is pristine, warm, and secure. We got video updates of Taco playing with his new friends (shoutout to Diggins, Blu, and Percy!) while we were skiing Killington, which let us actually relax and enjoy the slopes. The Verdict: If you want a vacation where you feel pampered and your dog has the time of his life, this is it. We're already planning our return.

We were really looking forward to spending two nights to celebrate a birthday. My partner had a…read moremajor health issue arise a few days before departure so I called the inn to cancel and spoke to a man named Mitch who was very reluctant to provide his last name and claimed he was the owner. They claim to be "women owned", however Mitch is definitely not a woman! Mitch was very rude over the phone, showing no compassion of our situation and disappointment of having to cancel our trip. He kept talking over me, with a condescending and angry tone of voice,and then hung up on me while I was speaking so I called back and of course it went to voicemail. He refused to refund $300 a deposit of almost $300, and told me to call my bank, which I ended up having to do after he was so despicably rude to me over the phone. On another note, we never received a form to fill out concerning our dogs way ahead of arrival, or a confirmation after I booked the reservation online. It's a shame that a person/place who claims to love dogs would treat a human being as rudely as I was treated when I spoke to Mitch. They should be ashamed of themselves and their absence of customer service. I know I will NEVER attempt to make another reservation at this inn now knowing what the owner is like. If he can't be courteous to customers, I would. It trust them with my beloved pets. It's really sad that this happened as we were really looking forward to the trip.
