"We were looking for low-priced accommodations — nothing along the lines of Hotel Vermont, an excellent facility that is also right there in Downtown Burlington. But we didn't want to stay in some dive, either. This Motel 6 filled the bill.
In previous visits, we had stayed at the Anchorage Inn, on Dorset Street in South Burlington. It had also met our requirements and is a bit closer to downtown Burlington. But Motel 6 had a couple features that we liked more than Anchorage. For starts, it was less costly, though only marginally so. But we'll take our savings where we can find them.
Secondly, we did not have to climb any stairs. At Anchorage, the check-in desk is ground-level but, curiously, mid-level between the first and second floors. If you have a room on the first floor, you have to walk down about eight steps to get there and up again to exit the building. If you're booked on the second floor, the process is the reverse. Up eight steps to enter and down to exit.
A third feature we liked was that the air conditioner's controls worked as shown. At Anchorage, it blew cold, cold, cold. The only way we could get relief was to unplug it from the electrical outlet.
The bathroom at Motel 6 was a bit larger than at Anchorage and perhaps better maintained..
There also are several places to eat nearby the Motel 6. McDonalds, Burger KIng, Wendy's — but also a Mexican restaurant, a Vietnamese restaurant and an America food place called Lighthouse."
