Handy Suites - Essex - Colchester

The staff was friendly and helpful. My room was clean and stocked but my friends room was not. The staff was very willing to remedy the situation. Pricing was great for this room. The bed was uncomfortable though. I really enjoyed the fact that this was a pet friendly hotel, even with larger dogs. I would stay again.

Hotel was just what we needed! The suite was great, with a full kitchen, living room and bedroom! The closet in the bedroom was bigger than ALL of the closets in my entire house! We will stay here again and will definitely recommend to others! Thanks Handy Suites!

I was shocked at how decent the rooms were considering the price of the hotel. The room was comfy, large, and clean. They definitely need to do some repairs, the handle on the toilet was broke, the light switch on the bedroom lamp was broke, the heater registers were all rust, and there was dark brown splatter all over the back of the bathroom door. […] The downside of this hotel, it is noisy. The first night i was there i was woke up at 11pm by a loud banging outside my window, turned out to be a glider bench someone was rocking so hard the legs were slmming of the asphalt. The next night i was woken up at 5am by barking and howling dogs!! When i finally called the front desk the lady sound annoyed that i called. She was also working the front desk when my friends and i checked in and was extremely rude to my friend who is hearing impaired. Beware! This place allows dogs, so i reccomend a different place if you don't have pets of your own. My friends were also woken up by barking and howling dogs at 1am! The walls are very thin, and you can hear everything here. On the other hand, it was very cheap. Pročitajte više

I will stay no place else in the Burlington area but this Motel/Hotel.It is excellent in every way. Absolutely a full size kitchen and after being on the road for the past 17 days, what a pleasure this was.

My young son wears glasses. As we took the first step onto the elevator the fell off. And of course the lens popped out and again of course it fell down the elevator shaft. Within the hour his lens was sitting on the table. The room needed a paint job but other than that we couldnt have been happier.

Very reasonably priced, even though I did book early which made it definitely worth the price! Very pleasant interactions.

What a great place! Huge suite with a nice kitchen, fridge, granite counters and a dishwasher (who wasn't ME). Bathroom was roomy and very clean. The pool with the waterslide was a hit with our 7-year-old daughter. Nice bagel cafe across the street for morning coffee and pastries, and lots of shopping within a 10 mile radius. Staff was very freindly […] and helpful! Don't go anywhere else if you are in the Burlington area...stay here! Pročitajte više

We stayed at handy suits last year our son has wrestling meets and the states are held in Essex. So its very close to the school. The kids love the pool. And the room's are very large. The pull out couch isn't very comfortable they could use updating but for the price I would recommend it to others.

The hotel was clean and the staff were very helpful was excellent. The room was missing a screen which was a small concern because the room was warm. The dishwasher was not turned on after the last set of renters was there but that was no big deal to us we just put it on when we left.

We found this hotel close to Burlington and convenient to my son's college. Was disappointed with the amenities in the room. My son slept on the sleeper sofa and only had one blanket, no extra pillows. There were no spoons in the kitchen and scant dishes. The hotel breakfast was terrible but the bagel place across the road was excellent. The night clerk […] was friendly but the morning person gave me the impression she had better things to do besides check us out. Pročitajte više

Quiet, clean, nicely maintained, and very reasonably priced. It is about 10 minutes drive from downtown Burlinton and UVM. My suite was huge, with a full kitchen (even a dishwasher!). Free continental breakfast was pretty basic, but if I wanted a fancy breakfast, I'd go to a restaurant. Free cable internet in the room.

Good place to stay if you need a room separated from living space by a door - eg little kiddos who go to bed earlier than you do. The room above us was very loud pretty much all night long. It sounded like people were running around up there. Luckily we travel with a sound machine and that drowned out a good proportion of the noise. There is also a […] very strange/seedy vibe at the hotel. It kind of feels a little bit like a brothel with the late night noise and clientele. A lot of single men seem to stay there as well as a few travelers and people with kids. If you are looking for an affordable place to stay for a couple of nights it's ok... bring a sound machine! If you are easily sketched out by certain things stay somewhere else. Pročitajte više

Super

The one night my husband and I spent at that hotel left a rather good impression, although we found the bed headboard needing dusting., and the dining-room table in need of light repairs to stabilize it. The staff was pleasant and helpful .!

Staff at the Handy Suites are always pleasant and helpful. Rooms are spacious and always clean. This is our 3rd time staying. Breakfast could be improved upon - really nothing of interest. We have had much better even for a continental breakfast. Overall Handy Suites is in a good location for us for shopping, everything is close by. We would come again […] and recommend it to a friend. The pool could use some rust mtce clean-up. Pročitajte više

Needed to find an inexpensive alternative to the Sheraton for a UVM orientation. This hotel was half the "special UVM rate" at the Sheraton. For the price, this was an excellent value. One of the biggest rooms I've ever stayed at. Similar in size to a small apartment! Very clean and quiet.

I love this hotel.. you can't beat the price and the location is great. I love staying in a mini apartment instead of a room with just two beds. Also my kids had a blast in the pool with the slide and I would over all recommend this hotel if you are going to Burlington!

We stayed at the Handy Suites in Essex March 2-4, 2012 with our two young children. They had a ball playing in the pool. The amount of space we had was more than enough. There was a full, eat-in kitchen, large living room and big bedroom with walk-in closet. The kids slept on the pull-out couch in the living room. The bed wasn't very comfortable but […] the kids didn't seem to mind it. The bed in the bedroom was fine. The pool could use some renovation. The areas where the metal came together around the pool were rusty and there weren't any signs about the depth of the water. Even so, the kids had a wonderful time and our whole experience there was well worth the price. Pročitajte više

The suite was big with full sized appliances. The kids LOVED the pool with water slide & the breakfast was sufficient for us (especially since it was free)! I would definitely stay there again.

The first thing that struck me at this place was the size of the rooms. These things are large and spacious. They're furnished a bit on the cheap side, but considering the price of this place, it still ends up being an impressive value. Beds were comfortable and we slept well. And the fact that they allow dogs on specific floors is a huge asset. One […] slight complaint: the floors are not well insulated against sound. We were able to hear our downstairs neighbors playing video games until well past midnight, and they weren't being terribly noisy. The sound just carried through too easily. The walls didn't seem to have this issue. Pročitajte više

I've stayed at this hotel before. Every room is a "suite" so every room has a kitchenette. However, every room is very limited in its stock of dishes, silverware and cookware. The owner escorted me to her stockroom the first time we stayed. The second time, last week, the owner was gone and a younger girl left in charge (not the friendly russian girl). […] She was a very unhappy camper because we arrived late, around 2am. She didn't get the door for us, wasn't very friendly but got the job done? There were no frying pans in the room and I always make breakfast before a ski outting. She went to the stock room and got a couple pots. Would not deliver them to the room. And sent us down to fetch them. To then find out there were no pans, just pots. Called her up again and she says no other open rooms in the entire hotel have any, she checked. Ya, okay. Long story short, if you plan to make food, bring your own essentials. Good cheap place to stay if you like making your own breakfast before you head out. Bring frying pans. And don't call them directly, just book thru hotels.com Pročitajte više

I arrived right about check in time (3:00). The woman working in the office was very RUDE. She would barely speak to me, rolled her eyes, mumbled when she talked, and talked so low I couldn't hear her. I had two more interactions with her. When I called to ask for sheets and blankets for the fold out couch she told me that the sheet was already on it. […] I was in the room looking at the bed and there was NO sheets. She grunted in the phone, then hung up on me. The day staff was was friendly and accomodating. The pool was fun for the kids! The room was ok, but not overly clean. The bathroom was clean, but there was a couple of things under the bed that I don't want to imagine what they were from. Over all it was fair for the price, I would go back with the kids!

My family stayed here for the Christmas Holiday and our stay was perfect. The suites were CLEAN and large and the kitchen was stocked for all our cooking needs. All the staff was attentive and friendly. The indoor pool was a pleasant bonus and lots of fun for our grandson. The location was convenient for area travel - close to the interstate. Would […] definitely stay again. Dec. 2011 Pročitajte više

The bed which is not a queen is very uncomfortable and I woke up with a neckache. I slept on the pullout the following night and let me tell you, that thing is pretty much springs wrapped in cloth. The closet smelled like cat urine, but the water slide made all my troubles go away lol.

Hotel was clean and staff was great. While rooms are getting a bit dated, the pool made up for the old TVs. The kids loved the waterslide and spent hours in the pool. Walls were a bit thin, but nothing we couldnt deal with.

I thought the hotel was a very nice place !!!Only thing was there was cops that were called n then the next morning at 8 a.m the fire alarms went off i had no idea what was goin on when i called the front desk nobody was there!! i have a 3 yr old son so if the place was actually on fire!!!!we would have not known what was happenin they need to figure […] out a set up for the fire system!!!!!!Im glad the place wasnt on fire but next ttime they need somebody to let everyone no what is goin on find out all the staff went outside n left all of us to find out by or self what to do....

I reallly enjoyed this place. We are a family of four, and it was perfect for us, although the pool was broken for a few days, so we did not get to use it. We had our own seperate bedroom from the kids, while they slept on the sofabed. Our bedroom and closet were huge, kitchen was a decent size and the bathroom was also a good size. My only complaint […] would be the bed and pillows......just not that comfy. I would definatley stay there again. You can't beat the price! Also, we were there thanksgiving weekend, and room service left us some dessert which my kids chowed on. Pročitajte više
