disappointing
By stephen, 06/15/09
My wife and I stayed here this past weekend, 6/13- 6/14 2009. We booked this motel through Vermonthotels.org, who charges a $17.40 booking fee, with a average $95.00 per night stay. It is also a three diamond AAA rating. When we checked in, I told the woman I would like a AAA member discount. She told me our rate was low as it was, and she couldn’t give me the AAA discount. After adding in their taxes and hotel fees, brought us up to $111.15 per night.
Now the room. It was dated, but okay. The linen appeared clean and in good shape. There was sand on the doormat, as if the cleaning person tracked it in and forgot to clean it up. Taking a shower, the water was slow draining from the tub. It was past my ankles, by the time I got out. The refrigerator was unplugged, and had a bad order coming from, it when my wife opened the door. The ac unit was loud, but it help drown out some of the outside noise. By morning, the unit had iced up, and now longer throwing out cold air.
Now the outside. The beautiful view of the river? Forget it. The brush had overgrown the river banks, making it unable to see the river. If it wasn’t for the sound of the rushing water, you would never known there was a river there. The cost for mini golf was $8.50 per adults. If you were a customer of the hotel, you would get a second game free. No windmills, no nothing, which takes the fun out of mini golf. They did have sand traps on each hole, but the sand was every where else also. The worker went by with a push broom, sweeping down the course every so often. I lost interested in playing after the 7th hole. We got our free games passes, but had no one to give them to, because we weren’t going to play again. The pool looked nice through the window, but it was closed at the time. A continental breakfast was served starting at 8am with one hot item. My wife and I decided to forfeit the second night, and checked out before breakfast was served.
