Liked: This hotel has nice sized rooms with pretty much everything you need; it’s like a little studio apartment. Two queen beds plus a pullout couch with bedding in one of the many drawers (great place for long term stays!). A long curtain that can separate the beds area from the couch and desk/table area. Yeah, there’s a desk that can pull out/tuck away, with a decent chair, lots of countertop space, lots of shelves. There’s a kitchenette with a nice size sink, nice size fridge/freezer- not like a college fridge. It’s impressive. There’s a coffee/tea maker, and a hot plate with a small sauté pan. I didn’t check for silverware, but wish I had.The location is fine. It’s convenient to Rt 2 and 89, which is nice. Burlington is about ten minutes away.There’s a small saltwater pool, which is awesome, and a small workout room with some machines.The woman at the desk when we signed in was awesome. The guy when we signed out was good too.This is our second time at a Home2 Suites, and I really like the layout and appointment of the rooms. They’re functional and comfortable.
Disliked: There was no fan in the bathroom! With three adults in a room, you really want a fan for white noise in a close space with thin walls like that. That’s another thing - thin walls. You can hear everything. We were above the pool, and I was inclined to ask for a discount because of the noise, but the swimmers left before I was annoyed enough to do anything.Also, there should have been a comforter or another blanket for the pullout couch, and for both queens. Hotels never give you enough pillows or blankets.The location is convenient to highways, but there’s nothing scenic or friendly about it. It’s in a mall area. I had people at a table eating outdoors next door to our side of the hotel looking in at us. Lots of traffic. No walking or anything natural.This is, in my opinion, an expensive room. I know it isn’t, for Burlington standards, but when all was said and done, it was about $360/night for that room. I know that isn’t high end any more, but that’s insane. That’s a huge amount of my paycheck to be able to go to my daughter’s graduation. So I feel it isn’t a great value. But, despite these drawbacks, this is really a nice room in a decent hotel.

Liked: I liked the layout of the room. The high ceiling gave a sense of space. It was nice having a little kitchen area.The bed was comfortable, and the heater was quiet. Actually, it was a very quiet place at night. The fresh fruit offered in the lobby was greatly appreciated, as well as the friendly staff. It was great having mugs, dishes, and flatware in our room.
Disliked: It wasn't exceptionally clean. The pan provided for cooking was definitely not ready to use. The paper towel holder had some grime on top, and there looked like some mildew in the shower. The one knife was cheap and I had a hard time cutting through an apple. The blinking light of the smoke alarm and the light in the clock were making it hard to sleep. The complimentary breakfast was decent, though it's tricky for us with a gluten-free, sugar-free diet.

Superb

Liked: Breakfast was too early for us.

Liked: No need to eat out. Just like home with a very good grocery store across the street. Shopping very close by but yet convenient enough for an evening country drive.
Disliked: Nothing
