Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Hamilton, New Jersey2 contributions
Paint was peeling, refrigerator & ac/heat door broken, blow dryer missing. Was told their ice machine was broken and that I'd have to wait until the morning for the dryer. The next morning, a hotel employee unlocked my door w/out knocking & walked in twice. Once to verify that the blow dryer was missing and another to hand me the blow dryer while I stood naked ready to shower. Unethical behavior!

The room they put in was beyond anything I have ever experienced. The smell of smoke was overwhelming. Outside my room a small group of what I believe where homeless people staying a few doors down. The refrigerator did not work at al,l and smelled so bad. I went back to the front desk to complain, the women at the desk showed me another room it too reeked of smoke, she then showed me another that did not smell as bad. S o I stayed the night After being the room for a few hours I headed to the store to buy an air freshener but even that could put a dent in the order. By now I figured this a motel being used to house the homeless. Not sure why the board of health has allowed this place to stay open.

I was thankful at first to have had a place to stay as a disabled person, however I do have to agree with something's but not all.. yes when I was there only one guest was allowed to use the indoor pool or so he said cuz he was right with the owner. When I was there they didn't offer any morning coffee or frozen breakfast, however the owner to repeatedly lock me out of my paid room cuz his wife failed to inform him of my service animals which are licensed and certified, the local police were called because the owner wasn't going to allow me access to my room he said he was going to have his handy man Dan aka 911 Dan drunk Dan throw my personal belongings in the dumpster and Dan was to release my service animals to the wild.. over my dead body buddy, and anyone looking for a decent motel in the greater Brattleboro area right now, um good luck I'll pray for ya, 95% of them are housing homeless such as myself I'm actually at a much nicer more strick run zero tolerance for drug use or your out kinda deal, and I'm at Travelodge on Putney Rd I highly recommend booking a room here, my bathroom is very clean nicely cleaned tub, big sink and beautiful counter, doesnt smell of any form.of smoke smell, nice tv and free wifi, coffee hot and fresh daily, no breakfast but 99 restaurants is not even a 5 minutes walk from here as well as other restaurants.. econolodge really could do alot better, but at the same time, they.. yeah no they xan definitely eo better, like stick to zero tolerance of drugs like the travel Lodge does, like i said travel Lodge is absolutely beautiful ei honestly recommend booking with travel Lodge, just my opinion..

Beyond a doubt, this is the worst hotel room, I have stayed in. The floor was sticky, the air conditioner needed cleaning and was extremely noisy, the handles were broken on the drawers, the chair arms were black (they were at one time brown), no tissues in the tissue box, shower curtain rod was bent and the curtain was plastic. The window curtains allowed light. There was no stopper in the sink. The website offered breakfast: none. The website offered a pool: none. I did not use the tv. What did work: the refrigerator, the internet, the toilet, the sink. The sheets and towels were clean. I requested another room and was told they were all booked.

We booked this hotel through Priceline. When we arrived we had to check in in 21 degree weather outside on a trash can. Should have been the first sign. We were given a room on the second floor, a “nice room”. Inside our room, there were no deadbolts, dirty diapers in the trash, an unclean toilet, cigarette burns in the comforter. We called the front desk to complain. The maintenance guy showed up and informed us that our room was a “state room” meaning it was used for the homeless. We left immediately. There was no way we were staying in this room with our young daughters.

I was supposed to visit there in early Oct but the hotel cancelled on me 2 days before my arrival. I had to cancel my entire trip as I was not able to find a different hotel on a short notice. They claimed they will give me the money back. They never did. I am still waiting for 2 months calling the hotel/my credit card company to recoup the money. Absolutely horrible experience. NEVER GO HERE

The flooring was in pieces, the bed had a flat Queen sheet on a king bed. The bedding and towels were stained and dirty. There was no tv remote. When we tried to confront the owner, he just kept walking and said over his shoulder he was sending 'his man' to help us. His 'man' he sent didn't even work there. He was very nice, but looked homeless and said he was staying there because his house burned down. I didn't want to let him in. He said they didn't get enough remotes when they got the televisions and showed us how to use the buttons on the back of the tv. He brought us another sheet, which also didn't fit. There were obviously other people that lived there as they were hanging around outside visiting. Horrible experience!! I wouldn't have stayed but everything was booked because it was October in Vermont. The worst $226 ever spent. HIGHWAY ROBBERY!

My husband and I booked a stopover stay at Econo Lodge in Brattleboro Vt for 190.00 for one night on our way to Stowe. The internet pictures looked clean and quaint . We arrived at 8PM and we were assigned room 125. We were surrounded by homeless people who were staring at us when we arrived. One girl was peeping into our car. The room reeked with smoke even though this was a non smoking motel and the 2 bedspreads were filthy and both had multiple burn marks. The fan did little to clear the acrid air and was very noisy. The phone was disconnected so we could not call the front desk if we needed to. We were assured a coffee pot in the room. There was none. We left the motel and traveled all over Brattleboro for a different hotel but all were booked. It was a Saturday night. We had no choice but to return to our room and wait until dawn to leave. I sat up all night scared to death. We did not even shower. It is obvious to me this is really a homeless shelter or crack house. We foolishly trusted the online description of cleanliness. The final charge was over 200.

Experience79630, Thank you for completing our guest satisfaction survey and letting us know about your recent experience at our hotel. On behalf of our entire team, we would like to apologize for failing to exceed your expectations. Your description of what you witnessed around our facilities and the homeless is alarming and distressing. We have no such issues regarding homeless in the hotel or around the hotel. Homeless people are all around the city. It is our goal to impress you and exceed your expectations with every visit, and it is disheartening to learn that we did not fulfill this ambition during your recent visit. We hope you'll return and let us show you a far better experience.

I don't even know where to begin. I had booked this room last minute due to change of plans and lack of available rooms in the area where we needed to be. I have not stayed in a budget room in a long time, but this was beyond the worst experience. How Choice Hotels can lend its name to this location is baffling. I would assume in order to participate in this chain, there are basic standards to be met and upheld. I think they forgot this place existed and/or do not hold them accountable for the lack of care. The same complaints are listed as early as 2007 and the responses indicate they appreciate the comments and will work better to make things right. I would like them to challenge how this was done. Some of the same issues from them still exist. My check-in was late due to the travel schedule. I arrived approx 1:30am. and the desk clerk was very nice. However, I did not expect a lot of activity on the grounds, but there were several people wandering the parking lot. They kept looking over their shoulder at us and made us so uneasy we waited in a locked car until they settled in one room. As we unloaded our belongings, some older woman was standing in the hallway on the second floor going back and forth from her room to the hallway window overlooking the parking lot and yelling hi at us. With that initial introduction, it took a while to take in the actual premises. There are broken chairs and furniture in front of some of the rooms, and discarded lodge items against a wall in the back, the columns in front were badly damaged and chipped away and someone threw blue paint on a yellow column for some reason. It reminded me of the rooms in the movie The Florida Project, although the movie lodgings were nicer. What I saw was run down and dirty and nothing like the website. True deceptive advertising and should be actionable to bring suit in small claims court. Since we had an early morning departure, we tried to get to our room and settle in to get sleep. Having a second-floor room, we were leery of the stairwell leading up there, it had a strong odor of mold and was filthy. It had not been swept or vacuumed in years. The paint job was amateurish at best (maybe they hired some children to paint) chips in the sheetrock and a carpet riser was missing, exposing the plywood. There was also a random 4th of July wreath hanging on a wall. We entered our room quickly and in doing so I was so appalled; I don't have words to express my feelings. First, I noticed that it was very hot, as we closed the door, we couldn't put the safety lock on because it was not bolted to the door. It was dangling and did not lock at all. Then we noticed that there was a large hole in the wall. I then saw that at one point they had carpet molding edging the room, but whatever material used to hold it in place gave up. It was lying flat on the floor - about 10 feet or more. Then we looked at the bed and saw two brown stains and there were holes in the comforter and the pillows were for toddlers. Looking at the walls, I saw that were chips of paint everywhere and there was graffiti on the metal part of the headboard. The refrigerator was not on, and when we tried to turn on the air conditioner, noticed the plastic window shade was all torn up. The bathroom is from the 70s, pink broken tile and mold and mildew everywhere. All of this was too much, I called the front desk, and my main concern was that we could not put the safety latch on. We considered sleeping in the car, but with the people wandering around, that didn't seem like a great option. The front desk clerk was very nice about it and offered another room and said he would give us an upgrade. Essentially that was two queen beds instead of doubles. It was a nice gesture but at that late hour didn't matter. Suffice it to say, the second room was just marginally better than the first. That deserves its own review.

We had booked several rooms here after our other reservations fell through. The reviews weren't bad, so we figured it would be ok for one night. One member of our party arrived earlier than the other and checked in. The room was described as disgusting. Missing pillowcases, weird stains on the beds, no cover on the toilet tank. The man at the office was nice enough and cancelled the rooms and processed a refund. However, a few days later, it turns out the room wasn't cancelled, it was actually charged TWICE. We left and drove another hour in order to find a room for the night. I would not recommend this hotel unless you are on a tight budget and there are no other options.
