South Main Street Tours

A very unique place to stay in southern VT. I did love my view overlooking the river. I can imagine it's a great place to stay in the summer, especially as a group if you're looking for local lodging close to hiking etc. I was there end of May, just before the start of the summer season apparently, and it was all but abandoned which was disconcerting to me. I arrived on a day when the restaurant and bar were closed (monday) and no staff were present. The place has a code lock on the front door for self check-in. It was completely dark and uninhabited when i arrived. Turns out (I learned from one of the owners that was present later that evening) I was one of 2 people staying in the whole place. Being in a town I've never been to before, travelling alone, this was not my ideal. Had I not arrived on a monday, the bar and restaurant would have been open though, and that would have likely felt very different. I would consider staying again under different circumstances because the place is very unique (building and antiques) and the owner was cool when I ran into him. But the whole place (especially windows, carpets and probably HVAC sys) could use a deep spring cleaning! 3 stars for cleanliness felt pretty generous but the bedding and bathroom were spotless and i'm giving the benefit of the doubt due to being off season.

Wonderful riverside property with comfortable beds, a great view, and cozy fire pit areas with outdoor games like corn hole.

This property, an old deco building and is in a great location for exploring downtown Brattleboro. The rooms themselves vary from pretty nice to quite dark and unwelcoming, the latter being those that face an air shaft instead of a proper exterior view. The staff are incredibly helpful and were able to get us upgraded to an outside room when we raised concerns about being in an air shaft room. The cleaning staff is extremely friendly and this is a pet friendly hotel and they were all very warm to our dog.
