Reviews online for this property were great so I was very surprised at the condition of the hotel. Right after we checked in, we heard a gentleman come in behind us and say I’m not staying here. Give me my money back. The property is very very outdated. Wallpaper was peeling and there was a heavy smell in our room. It seemed like it must’ve been a smoking room at one point and has never been fully cleaned of it since. My son was staying on the pullout couch and when we pulled it out, it was covered in crumbs. The staff was very friendly and helpful and gave us clean bedding when I asked for something for the couch. For the amount of money that we paid we definitely did not get the value. We always try to get a room with a kitchenette, which was our saving grace, but I will never stay at this property again. I definitely do not recommend it.

Front desk check in ( Kayla?) was wonderful and really made our stay . The room was spacious, comfortable, great shower, good breakfast, lots of TV channels. The furniture was however worn and scuffed and the pots and pans so dirty I couldn't even scrub them clean. Better furniture and a thorough clean would make this place perfect.

Questionable cleaning practices

I rented 3 rooms for UVM graduation weekend, and two of the rooms were fine. Very spacious. A little rundown. In one room there were bugs (NOT bed bugs) in the bed and pull out couch. We found this the first day and were offered a different room the next day. The second room had tons of different crumbs in the pull out couch. It had not been cleaned in a long time. They offered us a third room. The third room was in the basement. It appears to be a floor where people live full time. It smelled of marijuana and cigarettes, and people were smoking at the end of the hall with the outside door propped open. This room had no bugs, no crumbs, but the toilet seat was covered in old dried pee. We alerted the front desk, and they gave us expired cleaning wipes to clean it, which we did and we stayed in the room. There was also a lot of mold in the doorway leading to an adjacent room. The hotel compensated us one night if our 2-night stay for the one room. Breakfast was good. Location is good. I wouldn’t stay here again.

Smart Suites was wonderful! Staff was very friendly, property was slightly outdated but nonetheless clean and ideal! Continental breakfast was wonderful. It was an easy drive to DT Burlington. Our suite had a kitchen and was quite large compared to other hotels. Cozy 70’s vibe. Definitely recommend!
