“Awful! Awful! Awful!”
Kirkside Motor Lodge
Oct 30, 2008
We have stayed at this motel before because of its proximity to town and reasonable price. In the past we found it to be adequate. This stay, however, was so bad that we will never return. Below are the reasons why...
1. Mold. The ceiling in the bathroom was covered with mold. I ...

Stayed at the Kirkside for a couple of days found the rooms to be clean and comfortable. Stayed in one room first night toilet was broken told owner next morning and they switched me to another room right next to the other which was just as clean and comfortable. WiFi signal was weak told owner and he gave me a booster to use. Found the owner to be ...

The staff was friendly, the booking was so easy. Had a great place to stay and paid very little. We went back two weekends in a row and was given the royal treatment both times. We were first timers in Bennington and will stay there again with no hesitation. Loved it!!

This place and these people looked up clenliness and hospitality in the dictionary and decided that was what NOT to do. A/C didn't work, room was filthy, I didn't feel safe. The TV was shoddy, and the staff (one claiming to be owner) were extremely rude. When I complained throughout the evening I was told to deal with it or leave, with no compensation. "We have your money, it doesnt matter to us where you sleep".

Always neat and clean. Proprietor courteous and kind.It's convenient to shopping (ie bagel shop), gas stations, restaurants and churches. Lots of value. Like to go back to Kirkside.

The manager is the rudest person I've ever met! His dog who greets the guests is far nicer than his owner. Don't bother to stay there, it's a total hassle.

I have never been treated so rudely by anyone, especially someone in the service industry. The man claiming to be the owner was insulting, nasty and he even lied to us, claiming that the cancellation policy was 14 days, when the website clearly states that it's 7 days. Stay anywhere else, even if you have to go outside of town.

The entire reservation process was horrible. They were rude and nasty and when told that they had terrible customer service, the reply was "yes, we do."

Before I've even arrived at Kirkside, the manager has already been rude, discourteous and combative on the phone. Fall foliage weekend is a tough time to find hotels, and he knows it. "Take it or leave it" is what I was told when I started asking questions about the one available room. Customers beware! Search around before you pick Kirkside. Save yourself the stress.
