6 - Brattleboro

This is the old Motel 6 and the rooms look like the same old Motel 6 rooms that are only slightly nice than a jail cell but the price was right so I booked a night there on Orbitz. I arrived at Travelodge by Wyndham Brattleboro VT at 7:30 PM on Sat. 7-30-22 and was told that housekeeping hadn't cleaned a room for me yet and that they wouldn't have one done by 9:00 PM!!! I asked the clerk if I would be charged if I decided to stay somewhere else and she said no I would not be charged but now I see that I was charged. Still trying to clear this up with Orbitz. It seems like the hotel was trying to get their guests with cheap reservations (like me) to find accommodations elsewhere so that they could resell the rooms at a higher rate. I would not trust this hotel with a reservation again.

This is a flophouse! If all you want is a place to stay a night with no frills, this is your place. We started on the wrong foot with no toilet paper in our room. They are probably the only motel in New England that charges for wifi and I found it hard to manage on my laptop. The other unlikable feature is the laminate flooring creates a noisy echo chamber when the neighbor upstairs drop anything at night.

The stench of cigarettes in this non smoking room is overwhelming. The AC/Heater makes noise, but not enough noise to over come the din of trucks and cars on the interstate outside my window. But, the noise of anyone else in the building using water drowns it out now and then, so there 's that. I 'm airing out the clothes I need to wear today as I write this. Ordinarily I wouldn 't be writing a Yelp review at 7:30 on a Saturday morning but sleep has been out of the question at this smelly, noisy dump. The people at the front desk are friendly, but so was Norman Bates. Don 't stay here.

I often stay at Motel 6's when driving because they welcome my extremely well behaved Chihuahuas. I travel across the country every year, and have driven across twice in the last year alone. So, I feel I can give this one 4 stars. Why? Because I have stayed in some stanky motels and, over all, I have had more good/decent stays in Motel 6s that some others that charge more for animals as well as for a room. Despite a faint smell of smoke intermittently (both cigarette and weed) which I have experienced in many motels, this Motel 6 had superior front desk staff and, my room, was spotless. I stayed one night, then returned the next night and asked for the same room. I got it and it was very clear the room was well cleaned, both nights. Everyone knows this is not a luxury motel chain, but any place that accepts dogs (high end or low end lodging) is a huge plus for those of us who will not travel without our fur babies. When it's clean and the staff are very nice, it's worth 4 stars.

I think I reserved the room for $59 a night with tax I think it came out to over $70. Although the woman behind the counter seemed nice, it was very shady. There was a glass window for you to talk through. I was surprised when she asked us if we wanted a smoking or non smoking room, because i choose non smoking in my reservation. She than made a comment like looks like you are getting the last one, as if she was doing me a favor. You drive up to your room, and it was very clean, thank goodness. No carpeting and everything was basic. Crazy that you had to pay for wifi. We opted not to. My internet wouldn't even work it was very strange. We had a horrible sleep because the room we got had this loud banging pipe noise, that went on and on through out the night. When we checked out and they asked how everything was, we said, um we basically couldn't sleep because there was a loud noise that kept waking us. It winds up the ice maker upstairs was never insulated and caused the noise. Ugh. Try not to get that room!!
