Battleboro Vacations from $360

What a waste of money. First punishment for using Expedia a $10 charge to park in a parking with huge posts. BTW parking is free if you book on the University Inn site. You had to really look at what you are doing or you would ding your car or someone else's in the forced-paid parking lot. Next no breakfast. I forget the exact cost of the room but it was about $150 a night and they were too cheap to offer breakfast so we spent $4 for two muffins and $3 for a small bottle of orange juice for breakfast. Also no tea or coffee or sugar in the room. And no coffee pot other than downstairs. The bed had a foam mattress. My husband, with his bad back found it extremely uncomfortable. The pillows were enormous about the size of a kitchen trash can. I wonder who can sleep using them? I slept flat on the bed with no pillow as there was no other option. Lots of light in the room and noise in the halls and I could not figure out how to access the local TV stations. The main positive is a "free" shuttle to the Duke Medical Center. The second night we stayed at La Quinta Inn in Durham. It was about $30 cheaper per night with free parking, breakfast, and a much more comfortable room. Oh BTW Duke has parking garages so no need to stay at University Inn for the "free" shuttle.

The room smelled very strong of smoke and the smell was hard to handle
