“Comfortable and pleasant stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 September 2011

My husband, my dog, and I stayed at the Governor's Rock Motel one night in August. We were on our way from northern Vermont to our home in PA. The motel was very clean and comfortable. There was a refrigerator, microwave, and coffee maker in the room. There is a nice TV and the furnishings were nice. The outdoor areas were pleasant with flowers and several seating areas. In the AM, there was coffee, muffins and coffee cake in the office. I would definitely stay here again.

“What a pleasant place this is.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 September 2011

We were just passing through on our way to a wedding in Burlington. Since it was the Friday of Labor Day weekend, other places in Bennington required a two night minimum. They did not. This motel and the rooms are dated, but I'll take clean and comfortable over slick, modern, and otherwise flawed any day! There may be more glamorous places to stay in the general area, but dollar for dollar, this place offers great value.

“We will come back again”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 March 2011

Quiet, serene, cozy, and comfy with a friendly owner. The bathroom is small but very tastefully decorated. The location is a bit far from anywhere but tolerable. We will definitely come to stay again.

“5-stars for being more than what their prices suggest”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 January 2011

Yup. 5 stars. Not because they're a 5-star place. Because they are most definitely not. But they give you much more than you should expect for the price. I was very surprised and happy with the room. I have stayed at a number of cheap places up in VT, and most made me think you get what you pay for. But these rooms were a step above what I expected, and I really enjoyed my stay.
