Hart's Location Town Hall Tours

This is a historic building with interesting architecture and it is nicely renovated inside keeping some of the charm of older days. It has a sprinkler system, fire alarm and smoke detector in the room. We originally paid for a supreme single queen room. When we arrived we were told we were "upgraded" to a king bed. It was on the 3rd floor with a small dormer window, most of which was blocked by a large TV screen. The window air conditioner was small due to the window size and it ran all night which is ok but it was very loud. We eventually turned it off to get a quiet sleep. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was spacious with fluffy towels, a large walk in shower that was all tiled with a glass partition. It was very nice with hot water but the tiles on the base of the shower needed a good scrubbing due to scale build up and what looked like black mold. The robes were soft and comfortable to lounge in. There was only one upholstered chair in a dark corner of the room so my husband sat on the office type desk chair to watch TV. I think I would have liked the original queen room better because the photo showed two large windows and the room appeared more spacious for two people. I purchased the room through Expedia so I'm not sure if that is why we were given the smaller room with sloping ceilings and shorter walls? Overall, this hotel is very clean and the bed was comfortable with plenty of pillows. I would recommend it but maybe not the 3rd floor dormer rooms.

We were not impressed with the room location or perhaps it’s just the lack of insulation between rooms, but you could hear everything. The restaurant was in our building and constant noise. Neighbors had children with constant noise.

My husband and I stayed at this property because we are driving from the New England coast to upstate New York and wanted a halfway place in the extreme heat. I had remembered this place finally from a couple visits when I was a little girl and had always wanted to go back. We had a lovely room and one of the cottages we had great meals at the main restaurant and the Red Mill. We loved swimming in the lake at the resort and at Button Bay Park. My husband visited the nearby Marine museum, and I had a wonderful visit at the Shelburne Museum. The staff were professional and extra courteous! Only two things that I would change: The breakfast options were extremely limited. Large Buffet in main dining room, or coffee and small choice of pastries at the main lodge store. Sub par coffee machines in the room. I recommend adding a place to get good coffee and a small continental breakfast on site. The other issue that we had is the trail to Button Bay park was not well marked, the signage needs to be enhanced. We got slightly lost, but met a couple the next day who got really lost for the same reason. I went to Vergennes, 15 minutes away to find good coffee and there are some nice small shops there.
