The staff was extremely helpful and friendly.
Pros:

Location was great. Unfortunately I overslept and didn't have any breakfast

Cons:

When we got there the windows were open. I have allergies so all that outdoor air. It took a while for the air conditioning to filter it out making my breathing uncomfortable.

I would not stay there again.
Pros:

the room was ok.

Cons:

the hall carpet was gross. The person next door on the first night kept me up with his noise and I got a minimal refund BUT they were aware of his behavior and did not ask in advance for him to be considerate or quiet. No one cleaned the room. It was a welfare hotel and when I asked the hotel while booking it they lied.

Decent room, comfy bed, decent breakfast at a reasonable price and in a good location.
Pros:

I was grateful that there was a room available at a reasonable price for the time I was in Burlington and the breakfast was better than I expected, honestly.

Cons:

Just fixing the little things, like the busted closet door handle and the torn shelf paper in the bathroom, etc.. would really spruce things up, you know?
