Hampton Inn Colchester

Great room for sleeping, etc. Insufficient parking for size of hotel, and not enough handicap only spaces near door. Breakfast so-so, get rid of that premade omelet and fake eggs, get some real eggs and how about the type of European meats cheeses, nice fresh breads and rolls? Also I appreciate the need for limited housekeeping, but when I asked for more towels and they said they put them in the room which they did, I did expect them to pick up the pile of dirty ones off the floor and take it with them. They were piled neatly right by the door.

Everything as expected, nice breakfast and big parking lot.

It was a bit noisy, and the parking lot is small and hard to exit if there is any business at Costco. (Next door)

Convenient to airport. Lobby was under construction. Not ideal.

Starbucks right across the parking lot.

I’d check my other options first. This hotel is under a long, painfully slow, much needed renovation. The staff is incredibly nice and I feel bad that they’re dealing with a poorly managed facility. They clearly all did not like the hotel manager who seemed very uptight and arrogant when dealing with her staff. The main elevator was broken and the rear elevator only went to certain floors. The main stairwell has a nasty dirty old carpet. The freshly painted stairwells on the ends look much better but still have a slight new paint smell. The front desk is a folding table in the entryway. Doors slam hard and loud and there’s very little sound barrier. The toilet didn’t flush well. The shower drain wouldn’t stay open. The thermostat had a bright blue screen that stayed lit up all night. I had to throw a towel over it. The Wi-Fi doesn’t work. The breakfast was great but the toasters were fickle. Honestly, it was a great breakfast though. Better than a lot of places. My room was clean, not perfect, but acceptable. The TV worked. The location is great for convenience. Right off the highway. Short drive or ride to downtown. Food options within walking distance. Seemed to be enough parking but mostly in the rear and with the elevator not working and stairs that only go to certain floors it became a maze to get around. The front desk people were very nice. There is construction going on yet it seems like very little is getting done. One of the contractors was working in flip flops.

They were renovating the hotel and the elevators only went up to the 4th floor and i was on the 5th floor. So i had to walk up one flight of stairs. When i left on Sunday instead of Monday the front desk lady was rude!! The potatoes at breakfast were awful and cold. Bed bugs bit me on face arms and legs because of renovation. Awful stay.

This Hampton Inn had a nice pool, and a pretty decent workout room too! The breakfast had an awesome "make your own flavored waffle" with all sorts of toppings! It's close to Costco too, and only 10 minutes from the Burlington airport!

We were very happy with most things. However right off the bat parking was a little confusing. We ended up parking the car while we were checking in and didn’t have a key so one of us had to walk around the building, which was quite a walk in the cold. On the bright side it was clean and quiet which we were very happy about since we just wanted to crash for the night. We got there a little over an hour before the pool closed so we quickly took a dip and it was pleasant and clean. However the shampoo and conditioner that was provided was almost empty, they were great smelling and made my hair feel nice though! We did have a little lack of communication the morning we left unfortunately. Upon checking in I asked if it was possible to have a late checkout, and I was told that wouldn’t be an issue and noon was okay. Right before 11:20 we had not only our alarms going off, housekeeping knocking and coming in the room while we were laying down in bed, as well as the front desk calling. She told us no one relayed to her there were any late checkouts, and seemed pretty annoyed. We left with a good 15 minutes before noon.

Close to the airport and Univ of Vermont
