• The hotel was clean and staff was friendly. We were able to get good value for our money.
• Our room only had a small window, but was fine for the price.

“I felt that this hotel was very adequate for our purposes. It was clean and the staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was served every morning providing a variety of choices to start our day. The hotel was conveniently located.”

• Location was very convenient.
• Bed was a tad mushy, and second floor ran quite warm.

“This La Quinta is a converted Comfort Inn and not as posh as other La Quinta locations I've stayed at. But it's obvious the owners took good care in renovating the facilities. The location - a very short drive east of Interstate 89 Exit 14 - is quite convenient to Burlington proper. Free breakfast - somewhere between continental and full American was a nice touch. Wireless Internet is much appreciated. The staff seemed fairly accommodating. Price was good for the level of hotel. We would stay at this hotel again.”

• The decor was unique inside the hotel rooms. Was nice not to see the typical floral prints.
• Elevator is very small.

“My overall experience was very good with the exception of hotel staff knocking on our hotel room door at 10am stating that they were just checking the rooms. The 2 employees did not give any more of an explanation. In all my years of staying in various hotels I have never been disturbed by anyone except room service or cleaning. I was extremely disturbed about the interruption.”

• Good location.
• They were in process of painting the hotel, so all the windows were covered with plastic and painted- no daylight at all!

“The outside of the building was in the process of being painted - had to be careful where we parked as not to get paint on the car- all windows were taped up and painted over. The hotel was centrally located and staff was helpful. Wish I had known about the work being done before going.”

• I really liked the breakfast. There was a great selection.
• Nothing.

“Great location to lake Champlain and area restaurants and shopping (church st.). Street parking is free after 6:00 PM. Free continental breakfast selection had something for everyone, including waffles. Our room was very clean and comfortable. The person at the front desk was very helpful and gave us useful tips about the area.”

• Friendly, helpful staff; continental breakfast.
• Boring, standard rooms; low ceilings in hallway.

“It was a clean, comfortable place to stay convenient to the freeway and to downtown Burlington. Fairly run of the mill chain hotel close to a freeway exit. The strength was the staff who were very courteous and helpful.”

• Comfortable beds, varied breakfast, fridge and microwave in the room and a large variety of TV channels.
• There was a bad humidity and/or pet smell. Was not pleasant when coming into the room.

“The hotel was easy to find and we had an oversized room that was very comfortable. Having a baby and young child with us, we enjoyed having a microwave (asked in advance) and fridge (pleasant surprise) in the room. The beds were very comfortable and the variety of breakfast items was much appreciated. There were quite a few TV channels and the hotel was very close to everything. On the negative, there was a bad smell in the room from either humidity or from a pet. Overall though, the stay was very pleasant.”

• It was noisy at night.

“We enjoyed our stay until the people in the next room started screaming at each other and it didn't stop until our 3rd call to the front desk at 1:30 am and they finally pounded on their door and quieted them. Otherwise it was very clean and the breakfast was good.”

“This hotel is close to Downtown Burlington and worked well for me. It is more like a two star then a two and a half star. One morning there was fruit for breakfast and otherwise the breakfast was two type of cereal and various bread products.”

• Room was very spacious and clean.
• Bathtub had almost no level surface; bottles, soap kept sliding into tub.

“Very nice room; room-darkening shade a definite plus as our room faced out onto the street. Bedspread was a little unusual. Almost like chamois on one side and curtain-like material on the other. Bed and pillows were very comfortable. Had all the extras: hair dryer, coffee maker, Wi-Fi, alarm clock.”

• Everything was super clean, from the parking lot to the bathtub.

“Conveniently located off the highway, LaQunta in South Burlington offers convenience to travelers arriving by air or car. The staff was efficient, friendly and helpful and the rooms were brand new and super clean looking and had no odor. The lobby was not grand but it was pleasant and inviting, the equipment in the fitness room was all new and in good working order, and though it was still too cold to swim, I checked out the pool area and it looked wonderful. The only thing I noticed that was even slightly off was that the sheets though sparkling clean of course, were getting a little worn and should be replaced soon, other than that everything else was 100% perfect. I would stay again and recommend anyone.”

• Excellent location near airport.
• Possible security issues.

“This is a nice option for anyone flying to Burlington, as it is very close to the airport. My main concern however is security. I had a camera stolen from my hotel room. The hotel staff was concerned and did everything they could to help me, but it's still troubling to have something taken from your locked room.”

• Easy location, good breakfast.
• Foul odor in room, most staff seemed disengaged.

“We were excited to stay at Laquinta, because we love our local one, where we often get a room to take our kids for a night away to go swimming during the winter. Burlington was a different story. Our initial reaction upon entering the room was that we had been assigned a smoking room by mistake, due to the very strong odor that was present. We eventually tracked the smell to some kind of oil that was on one of the comforters. Sadly, the housekeeping staff smelled the odor, but their efforts ended at opening the window and hoping the room would air out by the time we got there. Luckily we only needed one bed, and we burned a scented candle to cover the smell. The Wi-Fi didn't work, and we were told that our room was too far down the hall to get a signal from the router, but we were offered a place to work in the lobby (which we declined since we were already in our pajamas). Our room overlooked a construction dumpster, there were no tissues in the dispenser and no bags in the trash bins. Would I pay to stay at this hotel again?”

• Excellent location for Downtown activities and easy highway access.
• The room decor left a lot to be desired. Peeling wall-paper and stained walls were not attractive!

“We stayed here four nights. The room was not the most attractive, but the free wireless internet, the great location and the free continental breakfast made up for the shortfall of the room.”

• It ended up being right across the street from the venue we were attending.
• The room was dirty - sink was dirty, pubic hair in the tub, sticky floor.

“The room was dirty, mainly the bathroom. The sink didn't drain properly and so much grunge was floating in it. And of course, a pubic hair in the tub and sticky bathroom floor (gross to think what was sticky). Nice fridge and microwave! Used the fitness room. TV was fine, and I liked the sun shade on the window. We had a late check-in and the maids knocked on the door twice and woke us up. Also, the alarm clock went off early both mornings, obviously set from the person before. That was really annoying. We thought we shut it off after the first morning fiasco but didn't. Overall, it was a nice experience though. We really enjoyed it. We would stay there again.”

• Staff was polite.
• Filthy, smelled funny, tiny lobby, poor amenities.

“When I walked into this hotel I was appalled at the poor state of the lobby. They were doing construction which was fine, but the places where they weren't doing construction was dirty. I got my key and entered my room. The room was a decent size but it smelled poorly. The heater didn't work properly and I was skeptical as to the cleanliness of the bed. The walls were paper thin which is expected in a hotel. This hotel was 1 Star at best. Please be cautious in staying at this hotel.”

“At the time of my stay this property was undergoing major renovations. My room appeared to be newly decorated and was very clean. The lobby, public areas, and various rooms were under construction therefore it was rather noisy in those areas in the AM hours. This property will be very nice when completed.”

“Friendly staff. Very poorly kept up rooms. I stayed 2 nights and had to move rooms. First night the heater did not work and it was minus 26 outside. Second night heater was overactive! Extremely noisy in corridors. In second room plaster fell off the ceiling during the night, and bathroom leaked. Much needed. Upkeep needed! I will definitely not stay there again! We were not told about breakfast hours nor that it was free.”

“Our stay here was disappointing. The beds were uncomfortable, the heater worked poorly, and there was construction in the lobby/breakfast area. Doors slammed throughout the night and police were in the hallway in the evening for some reason. The positives were that someone cleared the snow from our car, and the breakfast girls were very friendly and efficient. This hotel is not what I consider a 2.5 star.”
