    Hampton Inn Brattleboro - Guest room

    Hampton Inn Brattleboro

    This was one of the better parts of our visit to Vermont. Now this hotel is going through some…read morerenovations on the exterior of the building, which I think will be great once completed. The lobby of the hotel is nice and they have a really good section for the breakfast each morning. The food selection for breakfast is what any typical hotel would have which works for most people. Let's get into the room. Is it the most modern, fanciest room I have ever seen? No. But, is it clean, quiet, and overall a good room? Yes! The room still has that older feel to it which is okay because there was plenty of room for the two of us staying there. The bed was comfortable, although the pillows were a little too squishy for my liking. Pillows are always hit or miss when you travel though. There was a mini fridge for our food, and even a microwave. The bathroom was pretty standard. The only downfall from the bathroom was that the shower water pressure was a little iffy. It seemed to hit right next to the handle bar in the shower which made it a little tight in there trying to not hit the bar. But otherwise, the bathroom itself was pretty good. This hotel compared to some of the other ones in the area stood out above the rest in quality and if we ever go back to Brattleboro, we will definitely stay here again. (They might even be adding EV car charging so that would be a huge plus!)

    The price of the room was right and the bed was very comfortable. Had the pool and hot tub to…read moreourselves. The attendant said the pool heater was not working, but it was a perfect temp. The hot tub didn't bubble but it felt good. It was strange because there was no way to turn it on. Got free cookies at check in and a very good breakfast. I'd stay here again.

    As a regular traveler and even more frequent reader of travel reviews, I am very familiar with (and…read morehave experienced) many stereotypes. The one this time is highly unpleasant initial contact that precludes staying there. The promise of a few relaxing days reduced the sting of resigning myself to paying $300/night for the "privilege" of a private bath; although all accommodations go for more than $200/night, only two of the six options have private baths. (The slightly less expensive option than mine was booked for my desired dates). Two are small one-room spaces that they advertise as cottages but seem more to be sheds. Neither have any plumbing and require using common facilities for guests in the main house. Reaching an innkeeper was rough to begin with. He then kept misstating my desired dates and told me that they could later adjust it. I let that go and hoped for the best. The breaking point was discussing my arrival time. I understood and respected that check in time was 3:00 pm. I truly did not think that ask to arrivie at 10 am on a Saturday morning in mid-September and happily either leaving my luggage in the car or leaving it behind the desk at the B n B until my room was ready and quietly enjoying the property was unreasonable. I was not counting on my room even being empty then but figured that it likely would be. The innkeeper got upset and told me that they still would have been serving breakfast (to no more then 12 guests, some of whom likeky already would have started their day) and could not even think about "assimilating" a guest at that time, He fully knew that I was not expecting any attention beyond a "hey" and maybe a handshake at that time. I told him to forget it and hung up; despite having my telephone number and e-mail, he made no effort at damage control even to the point of a quick apology that they did not want me there that early. My subsequent call to at least leave things on a friendlier note went unanswered. Subsequent conversations with a couple of travel agents, two friends who regularly travel, and a friend who is an award-winning travel agent confirmed my sense that my request was very reasonable, This is aside from the owners arguably charging at least 2x what they should. As an aside, I NEVER have had a hotel or inn keeper deny a request to show up early and amuse myself until my room was ready.

    I travel a lot, both in the US and all over the world. When…read moreI plan a trip I look for accommodation well within the 4-5 star range, especially outside of the country or an area that might be tricky to navigate. When I heard about Frog Meadow, what appealed to me was the fact that it is a rustic, mountain / wooded retreat. And that's what I wanted .... rustic relaxation. They offer some rooms w/ private baths - and some rooms that have a shared bath ( perfect if you are traveling with friends). I chose what they call The Brook Cottage. Set away from the main house, next to a babbling brook, this magical little cabin features a queen bed, electricity with ceiling fan and air conditioning ( I didn't need it at the end of June - the property sits on top of a mountain and the entire cottage has screened windows that provide an amazing cross breeze). Relaxing in this cottage surrounded by nature, is just transforming. I have not slept this good in months. Imagine the most comfy bed .... with great linen and blankets .... in an enchanted forest. I'm not kidding - it felt like that. True, it does not have a bathroom. But I knew this and realized that I would be "Glamping" and that's what this is!! The bathroom is located in the main house (which they show you during the tour when you arrive). It is spotlessly clean, and they offer big robes and lots of towels. This is a MENS retreat, so they jokingly suggest that in the night when you have to - just water the trees lol - otherwise the bathroom is there to use at all times. It worked out fine. They have a wood fired hot tub ... a swimming pond ..... patio to relax on and enjoy the evening. Also available is a beautiful great room / living room with cable tv if you want. Then there is breakfast. Served in a large chefs kitchen / dining room combo and butlers pantry. Fresh fruits and granola and yogurts, fresh juice tea and coffee to start. They prepare a different hot breakfast every day featuring local ingredients. The food was awesome. The hosts are a couple that built this property from scratch, and they love what they do. Attentive ( but not bothersome). This is their home and they enjoy sharing it, and are so accommodating. ** I mentioned that I had spotty internet in the cottage ... and they moved the routers right away to improve the signal etc ( it worked great after that). They could have easily shrugged and said it's the woods - sorry.... but they cared. Frog Meadow is amazing and I can't recommend it enough if you are looking for a quality, gay b&b. If you are looking for a fussy froo froo boring hotel then go there. If you want rustic and comfortable glamping in a true VT paradise - then go to Frog Meadow!!

Lots of charming details and touches like the Afternoon Tea from 2:30 - 5:00 pm with cookies and small dessert bars for hotel guests or pay a fee for visitors. Pros: - The carafe of ice water in the room and Biscoff cookies - very much appreciated - Elevator or stairs to the 2nd floor where the rooms were located. Bookshelf of books. - Keurig coffee / tea on the 2nd floor for 24 hours coffee/tea service plus business center with computer and printer. - Room 143 Cora Carlisle on the 2nd floor - lovely, spacious, and comfortable - Plenty of hot water and huge bath towels - Bed was comfortable and room was quiet - Champney's margarita flight was quite good and big enough to share. - Continental breakfast included - muffin, melon sliced fruit, plain yogurt, coffee - The porch with chairs was very nice to sit outside and there was a sitting area with games and a puzzle in the lobby - Air conditioning and heat - room was comfortable - Parking in front of the hotel Cons: - The sink faucet/taps and shower tap metal was a bit discolored with the gold tone worn away. Everything worked fine though. - The string to lower the blinds next to the toilet was non-existent. - Additional housekeeping gratuity added to the bill - The Continental breakfast could have been improved with more fruit (other than cantaloupe and green melon), hard boiled egg. There wasn't a lot of food put out and the coffee was a bit watery. - Slight musty smell downstairs made me cough but rooms were fine. Overall, Deerfield was a charming, historic hotel and I would stay again and come on a Wednesday - Saturday to visit historic Deerfield buildings.

    Great atmosphere, amazing food and the rooms are beautiful and warm. The service is top shelf as is…read morethe staff!! Great to relax, quiet weekend or romantic weekend. You'll love it !

The front desk person was drunk and had me write all…read moremy card information down on a piece of paper even tho my company already gave them there card, the first thing I did when I got into the room was checked the bed and look around the floor and bed where both dirty and there where BED BUGS no joke. I attached a photo of the bug I thought it was dirt originally into I pocked it and it started running away. I TOUCHED A BED BUG . Safe to say I did not stay. If you see this do yourself a favor do not stay here save yourself and go anywhere else. The Putney inn is pretty close to this place it cost a few bucks more but is worth it.

The exterior of the place is a dump and the huge paved parking area is in need of maintenance. Yes, we read the reviews but most were very old and we thought it was worth a try for the price. The price is too high for what you get with, as some of the other reviews indicated some "resident" appearing folks. Yes, they need housing but not at a "Choice" branded place. We checked the room out before committing, and though "old" seemed to be fine: looked clean, tub and grouting okay, toilet and sink clean with okay flooring. But after only 10 minutes inside, my granddaughter's eyes began to water, got puffy and swollen, and then my wife started feeling like something was wrong. Probably dust, or pollen, or mildew in the bedding, or whatever, but that was it. We left. It could have been fine, but we're just not accustomed to that level of poor presentation at that price.
