Best Hotels near Knight Island, North Hero

As a Hilton Honors Diamond member for many years, I enjoy staying in different properties across the Hilton portfolio. I also travel exclusively by Amtrak, and with St. Albans being the end of the line, having any Hilton family hotel so close to the station is a big plus for me. A long planned trip finally brought me to t his property earlier this week. While yes it's a bit pricey, we're also in a period of inflation and now recession so I dealt with it. Thinking of it as more points to earn so that I can stay elsewhere for free (or a re-visit here) made it much better. As always with Hilton properties, I did an online check-in the day before and chose my room. Hilton encourages members to skip the front desk and go directly to their rooms with the digital key. I figured on returning later to get my water and snack. However, as what I believe is a cost saving measure, upon entering my room with the digital key, I found that a plastic card is necessary if one wants electric power. So in the dark I left my luggage and returned downstairs to the desk. This was my only nit, that had I known of this I would have stopped at the front desk upon arrival. This defeats the purpose of the digital key, so perhaps the electricity could be re-worked to also activate with one's phone. Back at the desk I was greeted and I explained what had happened. The staff was very friendly and professional, and I was welcomed and my status was recognized. Back in my room now with lights and TV, I found there to be ample space for my belongings and a comfortable desk and chair to work on my computer. The bathroom was bright and also had good counter space for my toiletries. No issues hot water for my morning shower. I did have a good sleep and woke up refreshed. Breakfast was everything that can be expected from a Hampton Inn. I had plenty of scrambled eggs to sustain myself until a late afternoon meal on the train. Check-out was as professional as check-in, and when I mentioned I was departing on Amtrak, I was even reminded of its 9:15 AM departure time with a smile. Being near a train track, one can expect to hear train horns. While Amtrak is only there twice a day, freight trains do use the line as well so there might be other sounds. Overall, it was a wonderful stay, and should I take this trip again I would definitely stay at the property again.... and check-in in person.

Wonderful staff and well appointed rooms. The Inn is undergoing renovation and everything I needed was right at hand. The breakfast was tasty and filled with good protein and the coffee was delicious. Check in and out was easy. I felt comfortable and very safe.

The hotel is very clean, new and convenient

This Holiday Inn hotel is ideal for use as a business hotel. I used it while on a business trip and was able to have a perfect day during my business trip. Thank you for the excellent service during your stay. I used it well and then left.

This hotel does just fine. It's not elegant, but it makes no pretensions. The room was clean and comfortable, the breakfast well stocked with fresh items. The hotel would have earned 5 stars, but the heater for the swimming pool was on the fritz, so the water was 68 degrees and I ended up in the gym. And the breakfast menu did not include decaf coffee, although the Keurig in our room did provide decaf.
