Bristol Suites

About The Hotel

From $187/night, this is a 4.9 boutique suites property with near-perfect cleanliness and location scores. Thoughtfully designed rooms filled with local art are run by attentive innkeepers in a historic building on Main Street—far better than a chain hotel. Rooms are comfortable and clean but furnished simply. Parking can be tight (though alternatives are provided), and the small property books ahead easily. You’re steps from restaurants, coffee, a bookstore, a grocery, and hiking trails; Middlebury is 20 minutes south and Burlington an hour north. Best for couples and travelers wanting a genuine Vermont small-town experience.

What Guests Are Saying

“A lot of care and thought has gone into the rooms and public spaces at this hotel. The rooms have many personal touches and feature local art. The innkeepers are very friendly, helpful, and accommodating. Exit the front door, and you will be on the main street of a very charming and delightfully quirky mountain town. If you are looking for a stay that is clean and comfortable, but also full of character and personality, this is your place.” — Gregory W., 5 stars

“We were dart on the map, late evening reservation request, resulting in an off hours employee having to come back out to assist with our check in. She was incredibly pleasant and our stay was delightful. The historical significance and furnishings in the common areas were enchanting. The room itself was basic yet extremely clean with all typical hotel room amenities such as a coffee maker, microwave, etc. The location is stellar. Park your car and walk to anything you could possibly need from coffee shops, to restaurants, boutiques, even hiking trails. What a treat to have found this place. Would recommend to anyone wanting a real Vermont experience. So much better than chain hotels.” — Deirdre A., 5 stars

“I love the Bristol suites. It was perfect for what we needed. A clean place with all necessary amenities. Spacious room and felt totally at home. The town also is great. Small charming VT town that has everything you need within a four block radius - supermarket, pharmacy, good restaurants, coffee and even a bookstore. The innkeepers are super responsive and great hosts.” — GER, 5 stars
