Top Waterfront Hotel Reviews

DoubleTree by Hilton Burlington Vermont

10/10 Excellent

"Good location, very nice rooms and facilities. An excellent experience."

Green Mountain Suites Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"After a two week road trip, our final stay at Green Mountain Suites was perfect. The room was wonderful with many amenities and the perfect spot to regroup and recoup before going home. The happy hour was a great touch and welcoming. Unfortunately, our flight home was so early we had to miss breakfast but I bet it was great. And if you are flying out, this place is under 10 minutes to the airport!"

TownePlace Suites by Marriott Williston

8/10 Good

"We booked a King, but for some reason, the bed was queen size, and they said that’s all they had. The breakfast was average for a overnight chain, cereals, and breads, and the frozen reheated egg dishes. The staff was efficient at check-in, but otherwise avoided interactions. The autumn seasonal pricing was of course a shock."

Motel 6 Colchester, VT - Burlington

10/10 Excellent

"Motel 6 is one of the best places to stay just outside the main tourist areas, where cabins and hotels can be very expensive. The motel is very affordable, clean, and comfortable. The room has a spacious bathroom, mini fridge, microwave, and a huge window. They also change the bedding and towels every day, which is a big plus! Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore Vermont without spending a fortune on accommodation. Excellent value for money!"
