• 1 Middlebury Inn Middlebury $$$

  
  Guest Rating 8.5

  Our opinion: Featuring a historic downtown setting, an on-site tavern, spa, and free parking, this inn works best for travelers who want character and walkability over a slick modern setup. It’s a practical base for a college visit, a weekend in town, or a stop before heading into the Green Mountains. Free Wi-Fi and an on-site restaurant make things easy, and some rooms add useful extras like a sofa bed or fridge. Just pay attention to the room type when booking, because the experience seems much stronger in the main inn than in some annex rooms.
  
  The vibe here is classic New England inn rather than trendy boutique hotel. Inside, expect bright rooms with dark wood furniture, traditional decor, antiques, and plenty of old-building charm, including creaky floors and even a memorable vintage elevator that guests mention a lot. Morgan’s Tavern adds to the cozy feel with locally sourced food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and the full-service spa is a nice bonus if you want a more relaxed stay. Some spaces feel beautifully restored, while others are more dated, so the overall style can vary depending on where your room is.
  
  Location is one of the biggest wins. The property sits right in central Middlebury, within easy walking distance of cafés, bagels, coffee spots, shops, and restaurants, and it’s only about a mile from Middlebury College. For a short trip, that means you can spend less time driving and more time actually exploring town. It also makes a good jumping-off point for outdoor plans, with the Green Mountains, Robert Frost Trail, and nearby golf within easy reach.
  
  Reviews are strongest on the inn’s charm, central location, clean rooms, solid food, and several standout staff members who were described as kind and helpful. Breakfast and dinner get frequent praise, and many guests liked the spacious rooms and comfortable beds. The main complaints are pretty consistent too: some rooms feel worn or musty, soundproofing can be weak, and older-building quirks like stairs, street noise, or plow noise show up in feedback. The biggest caution is the annex, which multiple guests felt was much less charming than the historic main building and not always clear enough in the booking details. Read more
