I have stayed in hotels all across the country. I have never written a review before but I just want to help you should you read this. If you get an amazing rate then consider it as camping with running water. Bugs, smelly, blood on sheets or some other equally disgusting substance. Filthy. I agree with all the negative comments...

The first time we went to Burlington, we went to this hotel. We were charmed. But, the catch was that this hotel had two parts (that are not attached). A good one and a bad one. We stayed in the good one the first two times we went there. But after that, we always got put in the bad one.... More

Booked this location and got a great rate. The room was large, clean and comfortable the halls and general condition of the property was good. Registration was across the parking lot at a Comfort Suites. The staff were friendly. I don't expect more for this rate.

If I hadn't already prepaid, I would have left immediately. The entire hotel reeks of stale cigarette smoke, including my "non-smoking" room. The carpeting in the hallways is saturated with the smell. The faucet and shower head dripped, the thermostat was broken, no coffee maker or refrigerator, and no complementary breakfast. The sheets were well worn and had holes in... More

We stayed at the University Inn back in 2011 (TripAdvisor wouldn't let me change the year). We were staying because our lease ended on our old place, and our new apt wouldn't be ready for a week. So we paid for our room, booking via Priceline for a rate of 75/night. We were initially ok with the cost, but we... More

Upon checking in, I was thrilled to discover an old pizza box filled with dried out old pizza. It was stuck on top of the television, which was the height of style in the 1990s. However, I could barely watch anything because the picture was so fuzzy. Thankfully I was on a business trip -- but there was no wifi.... More

It was cheap, and they let us bring the dog, but they charged $25/dog, so the room was actually around $80 night. The place was filthy and disgusting and smelled like smoke. The cleaning people walked in 2-3 times while we were in our room. While discussing whether we should look for another pet friendly hotel in the area, we... More

Upon arrival I found that they had canceled my reservation without my knowledge so I spent more time than I wanted to checking in. Then...the whole building smelled like dirty feet and smoke. The carpet in the room had not been vacuumed in what looked like months, I found a fake finger nail next to the bed, the headboard was... More
