Never being to South Burlington and knowing the area I chose a hotel just outside of Burlington as the rates are lower. Never expecting groups of people to be outside talking loudly when I arrived just after 10pm and someone’s laundry hanging on the post fence. The bathroom of the king suite not only was not clean there were random hairs throughout the bathroom toilet room and jetted tub room. Needless to say I will never stay here again especially after seeing a very big roach scurrying across the area in front of the sofa. Left early because of that! Absolutely horrendous!

When we checked in the young man was very nice. The room I asked for was supposed to bed nonsmoking and king bed. I got a room smell HORRIBLE of smoke and it had a queen bed, I know cause I have a king at home. The remote to the TV had no back and when I picked it up my hand stuck to it. The front of the bathroom vanity had, what appeared to be, toothpaste residue on it from previous guests. There was a yellow chair in the room full of stains that looked like there were no attempts to clean it. On the floor entering into the bathroom area there’s a huge orange/red stain on the carpet. I get it if there are renovations going on but cleaning well goes a long ways. Don’t rent out rooms that are falsely advertised. We paid good money for this room and by the time we got to the room at 8:pm it was too late to reserve another one else where. This was stated to be a 8.6 rating, I DONT THINK SO.

This hotel is fine, but at the price-point, I would hope for better. I don't necessarily blame the property, but the market in general. That may not be fair to the property, which again is fine. But spending nearly $400 a night for a hotel that was dated and had a funky smell in the common areas, is just wrong. Not sure there is any fix, and this is the price to pay to stay in the area, but the value proposition is not there.

Arrived at this hotel for an overnight stay with two pair of sneakers and left with one pair. Knew I had brought two pairs, but waited to get home, after traveling for a month, to confirm that my sneakers had been stolen from my bag in the hotel room. BRAND NEW Brooks sneakers. Back in Burlington, I stopped by the hotel to let them know they have a thief on their staff. Representative at desk told me someone would contact me (it seemed they wanted to look somewhere for my sneakers, even though I explained that the sneakers were most definitely stolen…I had already asked for a key to re-enter the room the morning I checked out-when I got to my car and realized one pair of sneakers was missing.) I will NEVER use this hotel again. Hopefully whoever stole my sneakers is getting good use from them. Perhaps I'm lucky that something more valuable wasn't stolen, but it's disconcerting that Delta has no response to the fact that I was a target of a thief on their staff. 1028 characters

Terrible
The room assigned to us was dirty. Cigarette ash on windowsill, crumbs on nightstand, ugly stained chair, and ripped up furniture. The front desk changed our room, and it was a tad better, but the furniture was so filthy and ripped up by dogs, I had to put a sheet on the chair to sit. I will never stay here again. And had to pay $280 per night.

The staff was great and friendly but the room they put me in was not clean my bed sheet had dried blood stain on it and the jetted tub had staines in it and was dirty. And the Jett’s would not work and a cubbies door would not close it stayed cracked open. I was affected by the storm and had to stay in a hotel room over night. I had no power at home.

The property was not very clean. The towels in the rooms had dirt on them. The corridors had a bad smell, maybe from old carpets. No air conditioning in the living room, only in the bedroom. The temperature in the living room was 80F. The breakfast was good. Parking was plenty. The area was safe. Very pricey given the above property quality.

The staff was very helpful. However we feel this hotel would benefit from a bit of ‘love’ - it could improve in cleanliness (old rugs could be removed , area behind sofa bed in room was dirty, etc). Breakfast was ok but ‘ordinary’

Not so great
I am surprised that Hilton has their name associated with this hotel. The property is run down and needs a complete refresh. The carpeting is dirty and stained, furniture in the rooms and lobby are thread bare. Breakfast was mediocre at best, with little selection. For the price point, I expected more.
