This is a case of "don't judge a book by its cover." It's a very old family-run motel that shows its age, but the owners take obvious pride in making sure everything is immaculate and comfortable. They make improvements where it matters most--our bathroom had been upgraded with brand new fixtures, and it was sparkling clean. A hot, home-cooked breakfast is served every day in the breakfast room, giving the place a B&B feel. The owners are extremely friendly and make their guests feel at home. We stayed three very comfortable nights and agreed we'd go back if in that part of VT again. In an area of high-priced inns and hotels, the Olympia Lodge is a welcome, affordable alternative with warm, personal service.
