The place overall is about average. They are renovating it and have it about one third completed. You have to go across the parking lot for breakfast to the Holiday Inn Express which has a really good breakfast. There is no pool right now for either hotel as it is being redone as well. The furnishings in these newly remodeled rooms are pretty substandard and one of the chairs in my room was wobbly to the point I didn't much trust it. The woman at the check in was extremely nice and hospitable when we checked in. With all the renovation work and having to go get my breakfast across the parking lot, I'd just give this place an average though.

My sister and I were in Vermont for a Disc Dog Competition and had booked a room at the Econo Lodge in Montpelier (see my review for that motel) and were stuck at the last minute trying to find alternate accomodations. We stumbled across the White River Inn on our way to a Holiday Inn Express (which allowed pets) several miles away. We thought we would take a chance rather than drive another 1/2 hour or so.

The Inn is still under extensive renovation but one building was done and we were given a room there. We were pleasantly surprised to find a clean, spacious room. There were a few issues which I suspect will be rectified in time. The room doors were obviously "recycled" from the old Econo Lodge and need work and we noticed many rooms had small pieces of paper taped to them with the room number. There was no exhaust fan in the bathroom so the room fogged up quickly after a shower. The lamps were flimsy and easily knocked over. There were no ice machines so I had to cross over to the Holiday Inn to get ice. The vending machine on our floor for drinks was empty. There was no way to get to the main lobby of the motel except to go outside and around since the middle of the hotel was a construction zone. The free WIFI is certainly nice to have but didn't work most of the time and was excrutiatingly slow when it did.

So perhaps it is somewhat premature to be open, but in our case, we were happy to have a room and were mostly happy with our stay.

$150 dollars paid and I decided to sleep clothed as the room was so dirty. I know they are doing the hotel up and thats fine, but for now it's not good.

At breakfast there wasn't enough tables and the breakfast lady was scary.

It's in an area with loads of over hotels, go give one of the others a try.

This hotel is a former Econo Lodge and is apparently in the process of renovation. Room numbers are confusing. Building one has numbers that all start with "1" regardless of which floor they are on. I had to go back to the desk to find my room, hauling my big suitcase all over behind me. In the process I met a couple who had been assigned a room that had no furniture, no carpeting, and nothing on the walls. At least they had a room. Being an older property the amenities are worn and the halls smell musty, old. The internet did work fine. They have an average breakfast, typical continental fare. Being aware, I checked the bedding for bugs and found none, BUT I did find a very gross dirty gym sock stuffed down by the head of the bed. The one good thing is that this area fancies itself a tourist mecca and other properties in the area were all priced $120+ for a night. This was in the high $80's range.
