Clean

Room was good size, and the experience was what I'd expect from a motor inn. The beds were very firm, the sheets & towels weren't so soft, but the front desk and cleaning staff people that we met were very nice, it was very easy to find and the room was spotless. The room was very, very expensive ( overpriced) but this was due to the busy weekend we were there and rooms were scarce to find.

Amazingly clean!

This place was a great value for what we were looking for! We were able to check in much earlier so we could keep to our itinerary. It was immaculately clean and quite comfortable. Nothing fancy, we just wanted a good place to sleep for the long weekend. We were perfectly located by some great wineries, breweries and shops. This place is located right off Rt 7 and just 10 minutes away from Downtown Burlington. Great location! I would stay there again!

Not the place

The Burlington/Shelburne VT area were heavily booked for what turned out to be parent's weekend at the University of Vermont. I did not know that, so my choices were limited. This hotel was at our upper price range, $200.00, but we wanted to stay in the area for our travel plans. Way, way overpriced for what you get. Double bed and it was hard and horrible. Nothing extra to speak of. Would never stay there again.

T-Bird Motel, better then Expected

I found the T-Bird much better than I was expecting. For the price it was nice. It was what I expected... A nice place to sleep. The room was large, very clean, smelt good, quiet (without the HV/AC on). It was what I wanted as I was only going to sleep there. No major thrills but none were needed. It did have a mini fridge but no microwave. The beds were nice but pillows need to be added. There are only 2 witch would be ok if they were nice. These felt like feather pillows which some will like but they are not for me. Realistically, my only complains were just pillows.

Downtown Burlington was only like 5-10 minutes away. You passed a few restaurants on the way and the brewery there was nice. Be ready for the college students!

Great Place to Stay

The T-Bird was a great little place to stay. The room was immaculately kept! I was more than pleased with the condition of the bathroom--spotless tile, shower drained perfectly, and even a small (private) window for ventilation. The T-Bird even provided us with complimentary continental breakfast at the Dutch Mill restaurant (great little diner!), discount coupons for the Shelburne Museum, and seeds from the Wildflower Farm. No frills, but a great little place to stay. We will absolutely stay there again.

This place rolls up their sidewalks early. Be prepared by knowing what you want to eat and where you want to go; otherwise you will be driving around.
