Great stay. It's been over 20 years since I graduated from VT so needless to say, things have changed. The young lady at the front desk gave great local restaurant recommendations for dinner, so we could avoid going to a typical chain or my old dive bar hangouts (which are still around). Rooms were clean, modern, quiet and the bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was included and better than the standard bagel, muffin, cereal breakfasts we normally get to experience. Would definitely stay here again.
