We stayed here for a VT football home game weekend. The rates are about 4x what they are any other time, but that is to be expected for a football weekend. But, for $240/night it is looking a little worn. When we checked in, they put an additional $25 incidental charge on our cards. I thought that was a little tacky, but whatever. They have complimentary coffee, tea, etc 24 hr/day in the lobby. But when I inquired as to whether it was fresh, I was told it was a few hours old. But it was still better than the in room coffee, and so it was appreciated. The room was clean, the bed was comfy. My only complaints about the room itself was that we could not get the temp just right - it was too hot all weekend. Also the bathroom has the one switch for fan and light, VERY LOUD, and so I woke everyone up at about 4:30 a.m. The breakfast was very good. Lots of choices, friendly staff. You have to physically check out - no receipt under the door. But, again the staff was very friendly. And they have stacks of local newspapers - even on a Sunday - at the front desk for the guests to help themselves. Housekeeping during the stay could use some work - I don't they did anything but replace the towels, definitely did not even rinse out the bathtub. We'd probably stay there again, but maybe not for the $240 rate.
