Pros:

We stayed for 1 night as part of a New England road trip. We were met by the owner on arrival who could not have been more helpful. He suggested a number of places to eat. The room was clean and tidy and included bottles of water, soap etc. The breakfast had many choices and all were fresh. Would stay again

Pros:

This was not a great experience! First we were put in the Motel part-not acceptable--creepy, awful. Then he put us in the regular part of the hotel--better, but still problems--outdated, hair dryer didn't work, ice machine didn't work. Breakfast---yogurt not on ice just out--not willing to take my chances. Needs a ton of improvements--not worth the money at all.

Pros:

Dirty room, flies in the sink, no AC, no HBO. Run down furniture. No WiFi in the room. $175 for one night is a joke compared even to Motel 6.

Pros:

Hotel feels more like a motel than a hotel, but even though building is older, it has all amenities, except an elevator to get up to a room on the second floor. Had to carry my luggage up the steps, but the owner was kind enough to help if we needed it.

Pros:

Walking into the lobby is nauseating! There is an OVERWHELMING smell of incense because they are burning it at the check-in desk. It permeates the entire lobby, which is open to the lounge/breakfast area, so that area is affected as well! Thankfully, we had a ground-floor room with a walkout slider so we could avoid the lobby! No way we were taking a chance with the in-house breakfast!

The room was fine, but many simple things were missing that I had to go back to the lobby and request, like a working TV(It was unplugged, and the directions for the remote were missing a key step)

There were no plastic cups, no tissues in the room, and the fabric chairs at the table were covered in stains and had tears in them. Not a great look!

Pros:

My husband and I came into town for a wedding and not knowing the area we chose The New World Inn. We were very impressed with the kind, welcoming manner of the owner and how clean and comfortable the place and the beds were. The shower was better than mine at home! We had a nice balcony off our room which we used in the morning and evening. My husband liked the choices of the breakfast. He also loved the freshness of the coffee. I would highly recommend this Inn to anyone staying in the area.

Pros:

Your filter we used to list only hotels near Barre VT
that had pools available. When we arrived at New World Inn we learned that the pool was not available. It was being
dug anew and had digging equipment in it, not water !!!
The bathroom door had a loud skreech on the last 2 inches, because the hinges were very loud and needed a hammer or something to hit them, or oil them, and the sink had no plug !

Pros:

Room was big but no furniture. Advertised wrong as no pool. Area felt unsafe. Many workers stay there and there are homeless nearby. It would work in a pinch but fine something else if possible

Pros:

Economical stay. Friendly staff.
The breakfast was small continental, just enough to get you started in the morning. Mattress was sagging at the edge, so I slept in the middle. Room was old but clean.

Pros:

The stay was good. The size of the room was larger than expected and clean ws well as nice. My only complaint was the continental breakfast. It was not much to be desired. Only two types of cereal, small store bought mini doughnuts, and bite size muffins. There was no yogurt or eggs and bacon or sausage that are also part of a continental breakfast.
