They even threaten to charge a huge fee if you smoke in your room, while the filthy housekeepers are on the street smoking every 5 minutes. Our first room hadn't even been cleaned yet. We were given a free upgrade and while the towels and sheets looked fresh- the bathroom and rest of the furniture in the bedroom hadn't been cleaned in what looks like ages. The bathroom still had dirt and popcorn on the floor. The nightstands and refrigerator had visible dust everywhere. The bathtub is peeling and can't be used. The carpet is so disgusting we didn't take our shoes off. Gross place. Too bad- nice idea. Old is ok, but clean it.

Hotel is in a great location and in a cool deco style old theater building. The room had a record player that was a nice touch. Unfortunately we found it to be quite dirty especially the floors and windows. It felt a bit like a prison cell to be honest. Very loud with doors slamming in the hallway. The bathroom definitely needs an update despite being billed as authentic and vintage. For the money I can't recommend staying here. Maybe the other rooms are nicer b/c we were in a pet-friendly room, but we're not heading back.

I made a midweek reservation for three rooms via Priceline. Upon arrival, the rooms were booked as single king beds. We needed one of the rooms to have two Queen beds. The young man at the counter was confrontational and poorly trained. He treated the fact that I reserved the rooms through Priceline as some kind of insult. The hotel was empty and they refused to make one of the reservations for two queens rather than one king. The appeal to the manager was equally repugnant. The fact I've stayed there multiple times, am a choice rewards member in high standing was not considered. The staff was young and need to be taught how to resolve issues rather than instigate them. They charged me an extra $44 to change one room from a king to a double and were rude to my guests. The different I. The owner needs to invest in some training for these people. They were dressed like they just changed the oil on a truck and their demeanor was the reason people trash this younger generation of workers. Additionally, the owner just lost the business of people who stay at their property at least once a year. Please invest in some training for your manager and reception employees. If Priceline bookings offend the owner, try offering online prices through choice rewards website that are not 50% higher than your online prices through choice. Get rid of Priceline rather than do business with them if you feel the Priceline guests are of lesser value. Brattleboro needs strong businesses and the workers in the are need these jobs but they must be taught how to communicate properly with your guests.

There was plenty of counterspace in the bathroom and a heat lamp. Plus, the shower had doors and not a curtain, thankfully. The bed was huge and comfortable. I loved waking up and staring out over the river. The balcony was great and the view of the Connecticut River is so pleasant and peaceful. I appreciate the mini fridge and the coffee maker. Making coffee and drinking it in bed while looking outside was an absolute highlight. Plus, they offer coffee in the mornings in a common area, with access to a deck, but I didn't check it out. I'd appreciate some hooks near the door, but other than that, the room was perfect. Staff is so friendly and helpful. Everyone was very welcoming. Riverside doesn't offer any type of food or sundries, but there is a convenience store next door that offers a good selection of snacks and drinks, so that is helpful. When visiting this area of New Hampshire or southern Vermont, Riverside is the place to stay.

Overall, a lovely, no-frills hotel with great views of the Connecticut River…read more The place is modern and seems like it was recently built in the last decade or so. There are electrical outlets in the right places, light switches work like you think they do, everything functions the way it should, and plenty of place. Wifi was good enough for a week's worth of work meetings using Google Meet with no drops or other connectivity issues. The speed test came out on the very low end though, so don't expect to be downloading gigabytes of data in only seconds. The staff is very friendly and they generally seem to know what they're doing, and genuinely seem like they want to help you have a good stay. This hotel won't win any avant garde design awards. It's neither badly designed nor 'designer', but that's okay. I wasn't expecting luxury decor and architecture here. I do wish the rates were a little lower. I get that it's basically all river views, but on the other hand, aside from free coffee/tea 7am-10am in the lower floor, there are really no amenities. The gym is a small room with very minimal equipment. There isn't much of a lounge/lobby to speak of except for a couch and a couple of armchairs. There's no onsite restaurant, cafe, or counter-service spot. There is a convenience store a 3-minute walk away, but that's about it. The location on the river is great, but if you want to grab a bite to eat or explore, basically anything other than some hiking in the nearby woods, you need to drive there. So walkability is not great at this place. All that said, it was a nice 'retreat' from the world, where I could get some work done during the day, and have a clean and peaceful place to sleep at night after adventures out in Brattleboro and beyond. Bathrooms: Spacious, clean, and functional.

This was the last hotel we stayed at on our New England trip. It had a great staff and very…read morecomfortable and newly remodeled rooms. The absolute only problem we had was that it was so very difficult to find. Directions were rather complicated as it is hidden on a very noice lot, behind a local grocery shopping center with only a small service road address near an interaction with a major road through town. You really cannot even see it from I-91 because of the trees. Remember, this is Vermont, land of big green trees. My best hint for those looking, even with a map, is to turn at the Hannaford Supermarket and take the service road to get behind it. Our room was more elegant than expected for a quick service hotel. Though the heat took some help in adjusting as the weather had turned suddenly cold, we got help from the desk and it turned out not to have been on the "heat" setting yet and then we had two warm cozy nights. It had better lighting than most and because of vision impairment, I need that. They had a nice breakfast laid out in the entry lounge though we opted for our fave donuts as we headed out early the first morning to get to Hanover to spend the day with friends where we knew food was waiting. The second morning we set out just with the hot drinks as it was very early and we needed to get in 3 hours of driving to the Providence airport to fly home. If I was to go to Brattleboro again, I would definitely stay here.

The hotel is newly renovated and the room was bright and spacious. The beds were comfy and the furniture in the room seems good quality and relatively new. Bathroom was bright and had great lighting. Bath area was clean and dry. The breakfast was awesome. Lots of hot food choices in addition to the traditional continental breakfast items. The lady who was in charge of the breakfast area was awesome. She checked to make sure each item had a good amount left in the tray, if not, she refilled it immediately. The only complaint was that the check-in time was supposed to be at 3:00 pm, but my room was not ready until almost 5:00 pm. We arrived the hotel at 4:15 pm and the front desk advised me that they would need another 5-10 minutes to wrap up the cleaning. We waited in the parking lot until 4:30 and walked back in to check with the front desk, she told me that they would need another few minutes and she said she would call me as soon as the room was ready. We waited in the parking lot and again we walked in to check at 5:00, guess what, she said the room was ready for us! Where was the call that we were supposed to receive "as soon as the room is ready"? ... this was quite disappointing.
