The Putney Inn

Spacious room for the price. Great wi-fi too. The decor is reminiscent of a small ski chalet room. The property owners have done an outstanding job in renovating / updating this property's room. Despite the fact that this motel is practically on top of I-91 and is very close to active freight rail tracks, the rooms are very quiet. While I heard people check into the room next to me as they were bringing stuff in from their car, once they were in the room and their door was closed, I barely heard them.

The water pressure in the shower is lower than other area hotels. The property is definitely on well water rather than a municipal water system. The pressure isn't bad if you're used to typical well water pressures. My particular room (Room 106) didn't have anything resembling a closet. This wasn't a problem for a summertime visit, but not being able to hang up a sports jacket, rain jacket or heavy winter coat could present a problem at other times in the year. All of the other rooms I've stayed at here had a small closet immediately inside the front door; so this is quirk of this particular room.

My room was clean, comfortable, and spacious, especially given the price ($10 to $20 less than local chain hotels). The Inn has very easy access from and to I-91. The room's heater / AC unit was surprisingly quiet. It's very easy to connect the the in-room TV to a laptop or streaming stick to stream video rather than rely on the available cable TV service (which is very basic).

The Wi-Fi cut out several times briefly (first time I experienced this during my several stays here). I usually stream TV using a Roku stick rather than figuring out the channels on the local cable service. The cut-outs required me to restart my streaming service more than once to continue watching the live games I wanted to see.

Owner extremely friendly and cordial. Staff is friendly. The motel is being updated and great accomadations for the price. Went for skiing. Four ski areas can be accessed from this location in less than an hour drive. Okemo, Bromley, Stratton, Mt Snow. Other areas available in a little over an hour drive. Easy access off Interstate 91. Restaurant at location is not open at present, but is in the plans to open when staffing can be obtained. Restaurants available in nearby Brattleboro a short 15 minutes away.

Nice size room for the price (less expensive than other neighboring hotels). The bed was really comfortable. Electrical outlets in the room were conveniently located and plentiful. The walk-in shower rather than the usual tub / shower combo is a nice touch that I actually prefer. Good quality Wi-Fi and easy access HDMI port on the TV allowed me stream my favorite Netflix, Amazon Prime and Fubo-TV broadcasts.

Odd thing to say: my room didn't have a closet (not true of all rooms on the property; there is some renovation being done, hopefully a new closet will be built in this room - #106). While I lived out of my suitcase for the stay, it would have been nice to hang up my clothes for the next day so they could un-wrinkle a bit. The room didn't have a suitcase rack (other rooms for previous stays do), which meant that my suitcase sat flat on the floor rather than somewhat elevated.

Free continental breakfast was nice.

Mattresses were old, sloped.

The location couldn't be easier to get to. The driveway can be seen as soon as you come off the Exit 4 ramp. The staff was very friendly and efficient. I was able to pick up my room key early since I was heading to an event all afternoon/evening. The room was clean and comfortable. There were lots of options for the continental breakfast in the morning. They had bagels, toast, cereal, oatmeal, coffee, milk, juice and tea.

The room had an odd smell, but I know that's typical of old motels. There are also no screens on the slider doors, so I couldn't open up the door and get fresh air without letting bugs in. The only other windows in the room were two very small windows near the door. It would be nice to have the slider open all night.

The perfect location off of the highway and near many hiking trails and places to shop and eat. We loved that we could bring our dog with us also.

The only thing we expected and don’t have was an on-site restaurant. The website and the booking link said they have a restaurant on site but the restaurant has been closed for some time apparently with no plans to reopen in the near future. maybe- update the website in that. Thankfully we had plenty of nearby options so it all worked out.

No restaurant for breakfast

I miss the restaurant at the Putney Inn

The room was clean and big. It had a nice size fridge and it was very pretty out back. Very nice man at front office.

There were a couple spiders which I expected since it’s in the woods. The bed was a little soft for me. I guess there’s not a lot of places to stay in the area which makes it a little higher priced than I’d like

The room was clean. The staff was friendly. The beds were comfortable. It had a mini fridge, microwave & coffee maker.

It is more in a country setting so there were a lot of bugs. One thing I didn't like is as I was leaving I gave the housekeeper a tip and she was smoking as she was folding the towels for the rooms
