Brattleboro, Vermont is known for its arts, gorgeous outdoor recreation spots, and a classic New England culture. Named one of the "Ten Best Small Art Towns" in the nation, the town of 12,000 attracts more than its fair share of tourists. A number of affordable motels are open in the area to accommodate them.
The Colonial Motel & Spa proves that you don't have to expect less from a motel. With a 75-foot indoor lap pool, a hot tub, outdoor pool and saunas, the extras alone make this place worthwhile. The pet-friendly motel offers clean rooms that range from standard doubles to executive suites. Internet and continental breakfast are complimentary. The family who owns the motel also runs a Christmas tree farm on-site, which is open during the Christmas season.
The Brattleboro Motel 6 offers the basic rooms that you may expect from this budget hotel chain. The motel is located in an area that caters to travelers passing through on Interstate 91. The motel is pet-friendly and kids stay free. Continental breakfast and coffee are complimentary, as are local calls and cable television in the room. Wi-Fi is available but guests must pay an additional fee for the service.
Also just off Interstate 91 is the Econo Lodge, a pleasant motel featuring an outdoor pool that is open during the warmer months of the year. The motel offers free continental breakfast and waffles and free Wi-Fi in each room. All rooms are also equipped with a refrigerator and microwave. The motel is pet-friendly, but charges a nightly fee of $10 in 2011. Econo Lodge offers some basic business services, including a copy maker and fax machine.
The Super 8 in Brattleboro is technically a hotel since the rooms are accessed by an indoor hallway, but the budget prices put it in the realm of a motel. Rooms come equipped with a microwave and refrigerator, as well a free newspaper each morning and Wi-Fi in each room. Complimentary breakfast is also included. Like the other motels in Brattleboro, pets are allowed, though the fee is $25 in 2011. Guests at the hotel get a discount on golfing and golf accessories at the local country club.
