Comfort Inn & Suites at Maplewood, Montpelier

From the moment we entered the lobby we were amazed at the facility and the personnel. Everyone at the hotel made us feel welcome. The suite was beautiful and the breakfast buffet was an amazing breakfast. We go to Montpelier monthly to visit our children and grandchildren. In the past we stayed at a condo we owned in Burlington. Since we sold the condo last month we were looking for a nice place to stay more local. Gave this a shot and boy are we glad we did. We have already booked the next several months. Absolutely the best bang for your buck.

My partner and I visited this weekend for a friends wedding. Most of the wedding attendees stayed at this hotel, and I don't think many people were happy. We arrive late on Friday night, and checked in. The woman at the front desk was very cold. Around 1am. as we were dozing off, the fire alarm rang. We ran from the room out to the hotel entrance. Everyone was outside for about 10 or 15 minutes and then let back in. There was no announcement or explanation of why the alarm went off. On Saturday, when we left our room around 1pm, it had NOT been cleaned. The breakfast attendant was also rude to visitors. However, the breakfast was fine, and there were plenty of healthy food choices. Upon checking out my partner made her displeasure with the stay clear. The man at the front desk just said "oh, she was the only staff member here. I'm sorry about that." and abut the breakfast attendant "oh, she is sick." I was also overcharged for the "hold" on my room. It was not clear anywhere in writing they would over-debit me $75 upon checking in.

We stayed at the Comfort Inn at Maplewood on our second nights stay in VT while attending an open house at Norwich University with our son. Our first night was spent at the Hilton in Burlington. While the Hilton had comfortable beds and the rooms decor was nice, that was about all I can say. The second night we moved down closer to Northfield and after the open house, we checked in to the Comfort Inn. I was pleasantly surprised! We had a corner suite {beautiful views!} with a kitchen with table and two chairs, {we didn't use it, but it was nice} there were two chairs, a pull out couch where our two kids slept, {they said they didn't like it, but they are picky!} A tv in both the living room and the King size bedroom my husband and I slept in.{Very comfortable King size bed I might add!} There was also a desk and chair in the living room, and a chair in the bedroom. The bathroom far exceeded the Hilton's! The Hilton should take a hint from the Comfort Inn for what a bathroom should be like in a nice hotel! There was a gas station just in front of our hotel which we found to be very convenient, and there was also an Applebee's just steps away. We all enjoyed dinner there. There was a wagon full of complimentary Apple's greeting us at the Comfort Inn, and there was also free wireless internet which my son was very pleased about after seeing it would cost $10.00 at the Hilton for access. While there was no pool at the Comfort Inn, we were too tired to use one anyway. They do offer use of a local fitness center for $5.00 if you do want that feature. Hilton had a pool and a hot tub, but I wasn't too impressed with it. We paid almost twice as much for dinner at the Hilton with very slow service and the food wasn't any better than at Applebee's. We were offered a free breakfast with a nice seating area at the Comfort Inn which ran from about 6:00 to 10:00. I slept in, but my family had a bite. The Hilton did not offer free anything, and charged outrageous prices for the small breakfast items you could purchase. We used Dunkin Donuts instead. Except for a few flies we had to kill, all in all, I would definitely stay at the Comfort Inn at Maplewood again next time we go to VT. We had a great time and visited the Rock Of Ages the morning we left to come home. Don't hesitate to make reservations here. Especially if you are attending Norwich for anything. It's only about 20 minutes away, and you couldn't ask for more.

We have been staying at The Comfort Inn for over 3 years, and let me tell you I would not choose another Hotel. It is very simple hotel but easy to get to, clean warm atomsphere, overall I would recommend staying there. We do have a son attending Norwich, so for those parents needing a place to stay, thumbs up!!! Don't expect frilly things, just nice service and nice people. And lots of Norwich Students and there families, like a home away from home. Thanks for being there for our family. One more year and reservation already made for parents weekend and getting ready to book for graduation 2009!!

My husband and daughter and I stayed here for one night. We were in Vermont to pick up our son that was attending Norwich University's Future Leader Camp. Not many bells & whistles but clean and the continental breakfast was very good. I have traveled a great deal for business and my biggest concerns are the cleanliness of the room & location. Location is right off the highway & near a gas station however being so close to the highway was very convenient for our needs.

My brother recently was married in the area. His wife booked a block of rooms at the Comfort Inn for all the relatives coming from out of town. We had a wonderful time! The service and staff was quite friendly. We needed to confirm directions to the church, and the hotel staff was was willing to jump in and help with giving us the correct directions. The continental breakfast was superb! It was one of the nicest cont. breakfasts I have had. The location was great, also. Right off of I-89. Minutes away from the state capital, Montpelier, and also not far away from attractions such as Ben & Jerry's factory, Vermont Teddy Bear Comp., and Cold Hollow Cider Mill. My compliments to my new sister-in-law for booking rooms at the Comfort Inn while we stayed in Vermont for their wedding!!!
