Hotel Motel 6-Colchester, Vt - Burlington (Colchester, USA)

The location of this motel just off highway I-89 in Burlington's Colchester suburb appealed to most guests who found it easy to reach downtown and to access roadside amenities nearby like restaurants. It was also within five miles of Burlington International Airport. Heading north on the freeway, visitors could easily explore the shores of Lake Champlain or reach the USA-Canada border in about 40 minutes.

Many reviewers said this budget motel appealed as it did the basics well and offered competitive room rates. Rooms were reportedly basic and functional but clean and comfortable enough for a shorter stay. There was praise for the remodeled rooms with wood-effect flooring and modern decor plus flat-screen TVs. Visitors often said there were comfortable beds, although they were too firm or small according to some critics. The lack of a proper breakfast and scarcity of bathroom supplies were drawbacks for some visitors.

Plenty of visitors were upbeat about the customer service, often describing front desk personnel as accommodating, friendly and courteous.

The unpopularity of additional charges for Wi-Fi access was compounded by claims that the network offered sluggish speeds to boot.

Some reviewers blamed thin walls for occasionally making noise from neighboring rooms and corridors audible, which was a nuisance for light sleepers.

According to some harsher critics, there were cleanliness issues such as bathrooms that could have been better cleaned, occasional accumulations of hair and dust on the floors and infrequently ineffective pest control measures. The rooms themselves attracted some negative opinions. Critics claimed some rooms were rather small or that air-conditioning wasn't always effective in the warmest weather. There were occasional reports of blocked drains and worn linens too.
