Comfort Inn And Suites, Waterford

After reviewing all of our options in NH and VT it appeared that the overwhelming favorite ski destination was this Comfort Inn and Suites "in the middle of no where". It isn't slopeside but after reading all the reviews and some recommendations from my friends we decided to check it out. My wife and I (and our four kids) planned to ski at Burke Mountain for four days. The hotel's manager, Mr. Lohr (spelling?), checked us in and mentioned skiing at Jay Peak, Cannon, and Bretton Woods. Ultimately, we skied at Burke for two days and Bretton Woods for two days. Hands down I prefer Burke. My youngest enjoyed Bretton Woods more but the lift lines drove me nuts. You cannot beat the ski packages at this hotel. We paid $180 per night for all six of us to stay and that includes TWO lift tickets and hot breakfast for all six of us. The room was huge. It had two queen beds and a pullout sofa bed. The entire hotel is amazingly clean. Our kids loved the indoor pool (water could be warmer) and arcade. The ladies at the desk Brandy, Leslie and Judy were awesome. We got to know both really well. They helped find restaurants for us. Of all of the ones we ate at the one I liked the most was the Creamery. The level of service provided at this hotel is unique. Not in a bad way but it is so different from what I have grown to expect that it deserves mentioning. There are two people in the breakfast room that go out of their way to meet and greet everyone. They genuinely get to know you and your kids. Pat, a wonderfully crazy English woman is the best. Gene is a grandfatherly type that does a great job of making sure everyone is taken care of. The hotel's manager was in the breakfast room on our last day. He remembered us and stopped by our table to see how the vacation went. We thanked him for the great time and commended all of his employees that we had befriended. In the end, my family decided that St. Johnsbury isn't in the middle of no where, it is located close to three ski mountains and in an awesome town. We plan on making this our annual vacation spot. I cannot recommend this hotel enough. In these economic times, spend your dollars wisely and with people that appreciate your business.

Just got back from skiing Burke and Jay Peak. This hotel has never let me down. Year after year the same people are their to greet you and take care of you. Karen and Brandi at the front desk are a hoot. Gene the breakfast person is one of the best. The hotel is spotlessly clean and really well maintained. The ski packages that they offer are the best in New England. Even better is the skiing at both mountains. I recommend Burke over Jay...especially for families. Jay is better for really agressive skiers. One suggestion is to ask a complimentary upgrade when booking your stay. The hotel's manager has upgraded me on more than one occasion. I know he does it partly because of how many times I've gone up but they seem to try and make everyone's visit special. Since last ski season they made two improvements that I'd been asking for. I was thrilled to see eggs and sausage on the breakfast bar and now every room has a microwave and fridge. My kids love the pool and arcade. I give this hotel a A+, my kids give it a A+, and my wife gives it an A++.

My family and I stayed at the Comfort Inn of St. Johnsbury a few weeks ago. The hotel looks very nice and rooms were clean, however it is definitely over-priced. The staff did not seem happy to be there and the woman that was on when we checked in was very rude and instead of helping us, chose to stay on the phone with a friend! The battery in the smoke alarm in our room was dead and it took over 2 hours for someone to bring us a new battery. Some positive points-- there was a decent breakfast with cereal, english muffins, bagels, fruit and hard boiled eggs, there was a wafflemaker but it was broken. My children LOVED the pool but hot tub was out of order during our stay. Overall, it was not a very good stay and i will look for another hotel if traveling to St. Johnsbury again. I'm sure the experience would be much improved with friendlier staff & lower rates!!

The queen rooms are very large with a sofa bed, and they are very clean. We reveived a very friendly service from the staff. I will stay in this hotel again if I return to this area. It is a little pricy but the manager's welcome email offers 15% off.

This hotel is by far the best in the area. My husband and I have stayed here over a dozen times and have never had a complaint. It's really great for snowmobilers too. There is a groomed access trail right from the parking lot that leads onto the VAST trials. You can park your sleds right out front and just hop on and ride without worries. And when you return from your ride there is a pool, hottub and sauna to help you wind down. I would highly suggest staying here, but you will probably need to book it in advance.

The rooms were large and comfortiable and my family enjoyed the use of the pool and hot tub. We would like to come back in the winter and ride a snow mobile. all and all a great value.

This hotel is hands down the best in the state of Vermont. I travel throughout New England on business three or more days a weeks. My wife and kids are regularly begging me to return to St. Johnsbury. We ski Burke Mountain from the hotel several times a year and in the summer we love to mountain bike up at Kingdom Trails. The prices are slightly higher than you would anticipate but the hotel is always full and that speaks for itself. If they are offering vacation packages, look into them. Their skiing and mountain biking package are a great value. We've never taken advantage of the others they offer due to our childrens ages.

My family and I stay here every winter and ski Burke Mountain. This is simply the most clean and relaxing hotel I've ever stayed in. The staff is wonderful and the facility provides everything you could ask for (except a restaurant). Take advantage of their vacation packages. Although they change them often I've found them to save me quite a bit with a family of six. Great place, can't recommend it enough.
