I had previously stayed here 2 years ago and was pleased, and this time I was quite disappointed. On the second day my 4 year old stepped on a beer bottle cap in our room #155..not from us !The water pipes when the next door shower was on were so loud that we could not even hear our television, and there was also a horrible squeal when the hot water was on. The worse part was that the front desk man on both nights was extremely RUDE. We found a room key left behind at the the pool, and returned it. No thanks, just a sigh. Then the next night when I went to ask about check out time, I was received as such" Do you have a question or some thing?" When he had to get up from his desk to come and speak with me he was very irritated and let out a HUGE SIGH after I said excuse me, but could you tell me what time check out is?". I will not stay at this hotel again, and will be leaving negative feedback on other travel forms and sites as well. It was a huge dissapoointment !

Stayed at the Travelodge Shelburne for one night in June 2006. I stayed for free by using my reward program points. I'm glad I stayed for free because I think they were charging over $125 for the rooms which is ridiculous. The hotel building is extremely old and outdated, as past reviewers commented. However, my room was large and clean. I had a sliding door and back balcony, which showed off a nice sunset. Hotel staff were friendly and helpful. Loved the Internet station in the lobby. There were lots of restaurants nearby and it's about a 10 minute drive to Burlington, which had more going on. The breakfast was decent, but nothing special. They had an indoor pool, and from my room you could hear some sort of motor intermittently turn off and on. This could bother people who want a quiet room--so ask for a room away from the pool. Parking was free, but when leaving the hotel you could only turn right which made it difficult if you were heading the other direction. One positive was that the location was good for my visit to the Vermont Teddy Bear Factory (about 5 minutes) and then the Ben and Jerry's Factory Tour (about 40 minutes). So, this is not a great hotel, but there were no huge flaws. I would stay here again if it was free or very cheap, but it's not worth the prices they were asking. If they are asking a lot then I'd go down the road to try the other hotels. Please feel free to email with questions!!!

Feeling nostalgic for your long lost youth? Book a room at this motel, and you'll knock 30 years off your age, because you'll think you're still in the 1970's. I know I did. I wish I'd kept my bell bottoms. The facts:

This property commands rates that are actually sometimes higher than the much superior neigbouring Days Inn, Holiday Inn Express and Howard Johnson hotels. I found staff to be friendly, but that was about the only positive aspect of my stay. The property is a warren of corridors and stairwells that haphazardly connect the two wings. It appears the original design had outside corridors, but at some point they closed them all in. Good idea for winter, but in the heat of summer, the room A/C units expell their hot exhaust into them and they become swelteringly hot. You really could use a map to find your way to any part of the property other than rooms sharing the same corridor. Invariably, you end up going outside and entering via the lobby. Be prepared to climb a lot of stairs ... even if you're on the first floor. There are no elevators, and the pool and deck areas are below the main floor due to hotel's being situated on a slope.

My "premium" room, was large, and the A/C worked, but the bathroom fixtures, sink, toilet and tub appeared to be at least voting age. I haven't seen a harvest gold tub for decades. There was a bit of mold on the tub surround, but nothing too alarming. The microwave and mini-fridge (not available in all rooms) were handy, but I couldn't get the free high speed wi-fi to work due to its weak signal. Furniture, bedding and a comfortable recliner armchair were the best features of the room. Carpeting was clean with no visible stains.There was a small balcony with a couple of dirty plastic deck chairs, but the outdoor carpet was ragged and barely hid the rotting plywood flooring underneath (due to the dripping A/C unit). Overall, it is an overiding lack of maintenance that diminishes the value of this hotel.

The free breakfast was the typical cold barebones fare prevalent in most budget hotel/motel properties. Hot beverages, juice, milk, cereal, breads and a bit of fruit, but no waffle maker or hard-boiled eggs.

The indoor pool and outdoor deck areas were pleasant, but in need of maintenance and a bit more upkeep.

The Travelodge is probably the weakest link in the Cendent chain's Burlington area properties. I had a particular reason for staying at this motel, otherwise I'd have chosen to stay elsewhere. I didn't expect much and I certainly wasn't disappointed.

We've stayed at Travelodge properties in Canada and we've never had a problem. However this June (2005) we stayed at the Travelodge in Shelburne, VT, and we were VERY disappointed with this hotel. The rooms were very badly outdated and poorly maintained. When we asked to change rooms the hotel staff was not helpful and offered a poor level of customer service. Also the kitchenette in the room can only be described as bizarre – a self-contained unit straight out of the 1960s. Although the pool area was clean and well maintained the rooms at this hotel were definitely not worth the $95 US per night that we paid. We could have had the equivalent quality of room at a much cheaper motel in the Burlington area. Finally, the advertised Ponderosa Steakhouse (featured in the hotel brochure) is no longer in operation and the building lies abandoned next to the hotel.
