Great stay after the solar eclipse
Stopped here after the solar eclipse to go snowboarding. Arrived at 7pm, check-in was fastest I've seen anywhere and friendly. Parked by the office, room was right above. For the location right on Killington Road, you can't beat this for the price.

One of the most basic motels in Killington - but also one of the most reasonable. We ended up here due to a trip being planned last-minute. The motel is old and worn but clean. Front desk staff was extremely friendly. Fantastic shower pressure a big plus!

Excellent location and price. However, motel is filthy and reeked of moth balls. When I got home, I even had to wash my luggage and toiletries to get rid of smell.

The owners are quite nice, so I give their friendliness five stars the property is extremely outdated almost rundown. The furniture is dated. The bedspreads are stained. The rug is dated the room, smelled like smoke, and it’s a non-smoking room. They need to invest a couple of bucks in simple things like new pillows. I just close my eyes and went to sleep with a towel over my nose because it smelled so bad Put some money into your property. It doesn’t cost much.
