The best available Motels to stay near Green Mountains

May 19, 2023 Tonie Szymanski

Vermont’s Green Mountains are the peaks that gave the 14th state its name. Still largely covered by the verdant forest, the area is a year-round destination, popular with both skiers and hikers. The Long Trail, a wilderness hiking trail, traverses the state, while drivers set a slower pace on Vermont’s scenic roads. Quaint towns, such as Stowe and Montgomery, acres of farmed valleys, apple orchards, covered bridges and specialty stores take visitors back in time, and charming inns await.

Aspen at Manchester

Too expensive for that type of room

Reviewed By Paul S

The Manchester view is a much better value . Your staff was very pleasant and helpful and friendly but with a minor expense on your part the room would be much more safe, especially for older guest and more user friendly

Good views and location, terrible mattress

Reviewed By emilysF2178WH

I want to write about the beautiful views, the lovely grounds, and the friendly staff- but all I can think about is how horrible the beds were. They have updated so much of the furniture, but the mattress was like a crumbly college dorm mattress which left me with a sore back. It was really awful, and when I asked about transferring to a suite to see if it has a nicer bed they said the mattress was the same in every room. We did enjoy the location and the nice extras like the small golf course. If they upgrade the mattresses we would happily come back. The other downside was the restaurant where our $14 pizza looked like a kid sized grocery store frozen pizza. Definitely skip the restaurant for some of the nicer ones in town.

Decent Clean Hotel

Reviewed By betslax

Overnight stop on our way north up the coast of Vermont. The Paradise Inn was a no frills hotel with a very large room with 2 queen beds and a small patio. The room was immaculate with a comfortable bed. The only downside was the room had a musty smell that never went away. Nice pool in the back of the hotel.

Cozy, Clean & Great Value

Reviewed By Joseph M

It's an old motel, but the new owners have cleaned it up well. The rooms are typical of the era, a bit smaller than modern hotels. Bathroom is small, with small shower - no tub. Everything worked well and lots of hot water. It has a nice view. They give you free snacks and bottled water. Clean. Excellent value. Excellent owners/staff. Only two points for improvement. The towels are small and thin. The mattress was too soft. We stayed two nights. We would stay again.

Awful Beware!

Reviewed By 489SusanS

We had a reservation and at the time of the booking we specifically said that we had a pet cat. We were told that was fine. Upon our check-in we were told that they don’t take cats. The motel relented and let us stay. The manager/owner said we had booked on Expedia and they should have told us that the hotels policy was no cats. Clearly the ad for the hotel said Pets. When my husband got up to use the rest room in the middle of the night he hear a gurgling coming from the bathroom. Upon going into the bathroom to take a shower in the the morning, he observed what was fecal matter coming up from the drain in the tub. He dressed and went and got the manager. Upon his arrival the manager cleaned the tub (no gloves) turn and said we were okay. We asked about the shower curtain, was he going to change it out since it had been in the tub and wet. We said we wanted a new room, he said no since we had the cat. He was unwilling to change rooms. He did say he would reverse the charges for our other two nights that we had booked for our stay. Needless to say, our vacation was cut short. There was no I’m sorry, no attempt to make this right. He never even said he would call a plumber.

Each air conditioned room has TV, free coffee, full, queen or king size beds, many with linens as fine as any upscale inn. Some of the rooms connect.

a very scary place

Reviewed By Connector315363

stayed for one night this month. everywhere i looked, there was a problem. the stone walkway in front of our room had huge loose stones- very trippable. the room was very 1960's dated. curtains were held together by a huge clip. there were paint stains and chips every corner of the room and bathroom. the wall paper was coming off on most seams. i was afraid to unpack anything. i kept my shoes on as the carpet looked dirty and had visible stains. this place was very scary and could have been a set for a horror movie. i didn't sleep well.

Clean and Comfortable

Econo Lodge isn't my first choice for overnight stays, but I was very happy with my experience here last weekend. Every employee was friendly and helpful. The rooms were small, but clean, well maintained, and had a fridge and microwave. The breakfast was included and had a waffle maker, egg patties, sausage patties, boiled eggs, cereal, fruit, etc. I'd stay there again.
