Certifications

ISO 14001

ISO 14001 is an internationally accepted standard that outlines how to put an effective environmental management system in place. It is designed to help businesses remain commercially successful without overlooking environmental responsibilities, such as:

• Improve their environmental performance constantly
• Comply with local and national regulations and other requirements subscribed
• Prevent water, air and ground pollution hazards
• Control and optimise water and energy consumption
• Promote waste recycling and recovery
• Raise environmental awareness among employees and train them to adopt good practices in their activity
• Use eco-label housekeeping products
• Use sustainable forestry certified paper

ISO 50001

ISO 50001 is based on the management system model of continual improvement also used for other well-known standards such as ISO 9001 or ISO 14001. This makes it easier for organizations to integrate energy management into their overall efforts to improve quality and environmental management.

ISO 50001 provides a framework of requirements for organizations to:
- Develop a policy for more efficient use of energy
- Fix targets and objectives to meet the policy
- Use data to better understand and make decisions about energy use
- Measure the results
- Review how well the policy works, and
- Continually improve energy management.

I would stay again. But not being a pet-owner, I will be more cautious of choosing pet-friendly hotels. The nearby barking dog was unnerving, though thankfully not continuous. However, my room was spacious & clean, and it was a short drive to attractions. Fridge & micro in my room (King executive). Laundry facilities were mediocre (bring your own quarters!). Indoor pool is very small. Become a Hilton Honors member for a discount.

Exactly what we needed after a long days drive.

Can’t say anything bad about the hotel, room is nice, and spacious, amenities top notch, and the staff have been super friendly.

Will make sure this is on our list the next time we pass through.

The location is great, rooms are large and prices are reasonable for the season. Service has been helpful and room service cleans up the room well, though our room has not been vacuumed by room service the week we have been here. Overall I would stay here again if i vacation to Vermont again!

Very nice hotel had the same amenities as other Hampton Inns that I've stayed in. However the hotel is dated, especially the elevator. The rooms themselves we're quite large I was in a king suite and had ample room. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Fix that elevator and you get an extra star! Happy travels

Although it was a hustle bustle weekend, it was calm, relaxing and maintained. If the daily fee was cheaper we would definitely make a night of it

I love the overall experience of staying at this Hampton Inn, particularly their delightful tradition of serving cookies at 8 every night. But it seems like the hotel is always under some amount of strange renovation, and the parking lot seems full beyond capacity no matter what time of year, which has always confounded me. But great rooms and staff and an overall quality experience.

Accommodations at his hotel are nice, WiFi and room setup are about average for a Hampton inn. The floor layout in this hotel is a little awkward - the main entrance is the 3rd floor, but overall it is very adequate. Getting out of this location at prime travel times has been problematic as the traffic light sits almost immediately off the left turn from the parking lot and there can be a line 20 cars long blocking your exit.

Awesome place! The staff was incredibly nice. The room is very big with plenty of room to stretch out. Would have given 5 stars, but the people with the two dogs barking coming through our breakfast twice is a game changer. Dogs are great, but not where I eat! Oh, and these weren’t service dogs!

Loved the stay. It had everything we need. Amneties are nice and staff are friendly. Room wasn't really set up for 4 people though... It had the size of a 2 people room with a sofabed that makes everything tight.

Very nice hotel, appears to have been recently remodeled. The banquet hall was rather pleasant. Room noise was minimal at this hotel. Not much within walking distance, however there is a bar on site. Not a bad place to stay over all

It is clean, handicapped accessible, great breakfast and friendly staff.

The shower did not drain properly as we stood in our own dirty water during our time in it. The toilet handle sticks after using the toilet and in bed allready settled we had to get up and jingle it to stop the water from running. The Bathroom does not have a ventilation fan or a fan switch for that matter, so when going number 2 the smell lingers. A real turn off. The bathroom sink is small and round similar to an aircraft tiny sink. Too compact I'd say.

On the bright side, the bed was the best part. I got to rest and slept as if I was floating on clouds. The best part of it all indeed, The Bed!

Overall I give this establishment 3 Stars. It has room to improve. In all fairness it served the purpose. I may or may not be back.

Location is great being right off the highway, across the street from Maplefield's, and down the road from a good breakfast joint and a diner. Burlington is a quick drive south, and the rooms are reliably clean, staff always friendly, and the free coffee and breakfast are keys to a good stay in any hotel. No frills here, but nicely priced for everything you need.

We checked in a day before New Years Eve and were given a room which turned out to be already occupied. Some lady came out and yelled at us. Went back to the desk and the gentleman working there didn't even apologize he just kept saying that there shouldn't be anyone in that room. Then he gave us a new room, sent us down the wrong hallway, but we figured it out eventually. We were in our room for about 15 min when a man walked it while my wife was changing! He was also given an occupied room. I got very inpatient and went to the front desk and asked the clerk what he was doing? First us and now someone else. I wanted some assurance that no one else will be walking into my room. He again told me that no one should have been in that room either. I said to him "you gave ME the damn room 15 min ago!!" Again no apologies. He just said that he was by himself and that the system was acting up. In my opinion it is very irresponsible from Hampton Inn to have just one associate working there during one of the busiest weekends of the year. I did however enjoy the room and the breakfast was phenomenal! There was something about "no peanut butter" in one of the other reviews, BS..these guys had everything. Just lack of employees that day. The line at the front desk was huge.

Pleasant staff. Halls drafty but was 15°f out when I visited.
The kielbasa with local syrup in warming trays in the am upped it a star for me! As well as yum cookies at night.
Clean crisp linen and clean baths.

I was very pleased with my stay at this hotel. Free shuttle service to and from the airport as well as to local places. The shuttle service wasn't available when I arrived at midnight but they were willing to pay for my taxi. Free breakfast was great and I think that means a lot coming from a picky eater. Customer service was great when I called in order to edit my reservations due to a flight cancellation.

The only complaint I could come up with is the lack of light blocking curtains on the window. It didn't look like they close more than 20% of the way.

What a great hotel! Friendly staff, clean as can be, very comfortable beds and showers, and very spacious. But the best part is the large social area in the lobby. It was great for group events such as dinners or just hanging out!

Overall the hotel is pretty nice, the rooms are a good size, the beds are comfortable, and the a.c. works well. The breakfast in the morning is pretty good, but gets busy around 9am. There isn't much around the hotel to walk to.

This Hampton as the Lighthouse restaurant built in and has newly designed rooms and an updated looking lobby. They offer a free shuttle to and from downtown and the airport. The a/c worked great and the hot water and water pressure were consistent and better than most Hampton Inn's I've stayed at.

This is a 5 star hotel with a 3 star price. Very cozy feel like your staying in a lodge. Our room felt like a cottage. This is our third hotel across 3 states and this is by far the nicest one. Highly recommend this hotel over a $300 + per night hotel.

I regularly stay at Hampton Inn in Burlington for work. There isn't much bad to say about it, if anything! The staff is always really friendly and helpful. The hotel itself has an interesting layout, but has pretty much everything you'd need. There isn't a lot of food in the immediate vicinity, but some places do deliver. The front desk is always willing to help find food as well! The rooms are adorable; they're different from a conventional Hampton. Cute little home-like design. They're also well-kept. I highly recommend it!

Great experience here! Nothing is more important to me than the hotel room feeling clean, which was the case here. I didn't use the amenities but they seem like they had everything (fitness room, pool, etc). Room was big, clean and felt relatively modern. Great view from the 5th floor. I would note parking wasn't amazing, but nbd. Also the lobby coffee was the best free coffee I have had in a long, long time. Drink up!

Upon checking in, my family and I were greeted very kindly by the receptionist, who was able to clearly explain everything we wanted to know about. The rooms are nice, and there is complimentary wifi offered to all guests that is fairly decent. The complimentary breakfast is okay and has the standard variety (i.e., waffles machines, eggs, a breakfast meat, cereal, oatmeal, coffee, juice, baked foods, fruit), and the milk and cookies put out every night at 8:30 are a nice treat. All in all am quite enjoying my stay.

Modern, ski chalet look. Nice, but the rooms weren't quite as clean as other Hampton Inns I've stayed at. Maybe my room was a fluke because I stayed during a snowstorm so maybe they were short staffed.

Odd shaped rooms. Single King bed rooms are fine but the double bed rooms are essentially twin beds and very small. Door for closet and bathroom are one in the same on a slider. Overall is pretty normal for a Hampton inn, just some strange room layout.

Really enjoyed my one-night stay here. Big, clean, comfortable room with a nice couch and decent-sized desk. Plenty of outlets, and wifi worked right away and was never down. Very quiet too. Staff was friendly, check-in was quick. The property itself is nice looking, the lobby has a big welcoming fireplace and the pool and fitness center are first-rate. Would highly recommend this place, it met all my needs.

Staff are always friendly, helpful and keep the hotel clean. Breakfast is Hampton Inn breakfast, nothing special or particularly flavorful, but there's variety and it's always pretty fresh. I am here annually for a social event in the fall and there are always bumps when you're in a crowd of 400; the mark of a good hotel is how it handles those bumps, and in the last few years the Hampton Inn Burlington has done a great job.

Nice hotel. Friendly staff. Important to note that the lobby is on the 3rd floor. I was told this is due to the hotel being on a hill. Also, parking near the lower part of the hill is level with floor 2 and the elevator and pool are right there. Breakfast was good too. The hotel is located right off the highway (I-89) which is convenient.

I attended a banquet at the Hampton Inn recently. The meal was amazing and staff was friendly and helpful. I went back for a third helping of brisket after the staff started cleaning up and found the brisket had already been cleared. A gentleman from the kitchen staff went back to the kitchen and prepared one more plate for me. Thank you again sir.

It's a really nice Hampton Inn. It's on a hill so the lobby is on the 3rd floor. Five floors with the first floor elevator going up to the fourth floor. Another elevator goes to from second floor to the fifth floor. Rooms are great. Clean. Bathroom is great. They rehabbed the hotel and it looks good.

Good rooms, good service, good breakfast. If you have a room in the 5th floor, you need to take multiple elevators to get there... Terrible WI-FI connection; very slow connection and you need to sign back in every 12 hours for service.

Beautiful facility, well maintained, clean, up to date, impeccable service. Very impressed with our stay here. It was during a Neil Young concert at the nearby expo, and they were also hosting a wedding. The place was obviously busy, but despite it all the entire staff remained composed, accommodating, and professional. We had requested early check in at the time of booking, understanding of course that it wasn't guaranteed. When my partner and I arrived earlier than expected, we were pleasantly surprised that they had planned ahead to accommodate our early check in request, and so we were able to check into our room right away. Quite a relief for a sun/heat sensitive person who arrived in the heat of the day with no air conditioning in our car! The room was beautiful, airy, cool, cozy, and quiet. Everything was of excellent quality and good taste (no overly gaudy/cheap carpet, fixtures, or drape patterns - Neutrogena Clean body care products!). We enjoyed the indoor salt water pool, and well stocked hot breakfast bar. We would have taken advantage of the nightly milk and cookies, but were only there for one night and were at the concert during cookie hour. They also have a killer business center and decent work out area with a god set of weights. On site there is a good quality restaurant we got brunch and killer drinks at. Wish we could have stayed an extra day just to lounge, eat/drink, and stroll the grounds. Would be a great place to organize an event at, I can see why they are popular for weddings. If you're planning on staying in the Essex/Southern Vermont area, do yourself a favor, and stay at the Hampton in Colchester, rather than one of the places in South Burlington. It's a much more low key part of town, you're out of earshot from the airport, and you get a lot more value than from many of the surrounding hotels. Kudos and many thanks for the lovely accommodations! I will be back :)
