This hotel has full-time renters that are allowed to have pets. That wasnt my issue, but the dogs barking when owners left wasn't very pleasant. The place smelled like curry and the walls in bathroom and bedroom were absolutely filthy. The bed was horribly uncomfortable also. Otherwise the residents that live there seem lovely and were very friendly, but I will stay somewhere else next time.

Dingy hotel with sketchy people around

I’ve stayed in cheap hotels before, but for the price and rating this was particularly sketchy and unclean. The bathroom and room were just dingy and gross, though the bed was clean. There were sketchy people hanging around outside and inside the hotel, and the “security guard” (random dude in a hi-viz vest) did not make us feel any more safe, although I think he meant well. We were passing through and made it through the night, but definitely would not stay there again.

The run down Covered Bridge Inn

Extremely run down and filthy! Hallways smelt of cigarette smoke, even though there were no smoking signs everywhere. Lots of homeless people hanging around. The clerk was nice enough to cancel my reservation and give me a refund. I was afraid to have my brand new car in the parking lot. Not a family friendly atmosphere if you get my drift.

Be aware

The room was clean and comfortable enough. However no breakfast was available, the breakfast room was locked shut. We found out that the place is being used for sheltering homeless , when we saw three police cars in the parking lot, attending to a commotion.

Good: Checkin was a breeze even though we arrived late. Cost effective pricing. Bad: However the entire inn smelled of 3rd hand smoke. Not just hint but very strong and we had kids with us. Tried to call the manager to see if we could get another room but no answer and never responded. We ended up leaving the hotel and got a room somewhere else. Lesson learned, google reviews are spot on.

An unusually bad stay off-season

We pass through Brattleboro a couple times per year, and recently Covered Bridge Inn had become our go-to spot to stay overnight - a simple, affordable, comfortable hotel right near the highway. We hope to return in peak season to find the place we love and remember in future. However, it’s a different place in the winter/off-season. Upon arrival, we were shown to a double bed room, and told that the hotel was “full” and no other rooms were available, with a nearly empty parking lot. Indeed, despite the No Vacancy sign out front, we only came across a handful of other guests during our stay. After much insistence that we had booked and paid for a king bed, we were shown to a room that clearly wasn’t intended to be rented out, as it was shabby and in disrepair. But it did have a king bed, so we took it. In the summer, we enjoyed complimentary coffee in the lobby and a simple breakfast from 6-10AM. Here in December, we had to ask twice before finally having the breakfast room opened at 8:45AM, and in the meantime we’d already gone next door to McDonald’s to get our morning coffee. We know Covered Bridge Inn can be so much better than this, but we’ll probably stay somewhere else in winter from now on.
