Staff is very friendly and accomadating!!! Staff even called me to let me know I left some things behind and offered to hold them for me to pick up. I love that this hotel is a quick taxi ride away from downtown. I have stayed at the hotel several times and have always been impressed. Its convenient that they have a kitchen in the units.

Our staff was very helpful and attentive. The location is great. The price was excellent. The room had a full kitchen and living room in addition to bedroom. The property needs updating but it was clean. Would recommend. Don't expect high end or you will be disappointed. Indoor pool looked great for kids.

Had a great time. Selected to lengthen a stay at Essex Culinary hotel. Prefer Handy suites

Anytime we find ourselves needing a weekend away. We go across the state and stay at Handy Suites Essex. The staff is always polite and professional, the rooms are spacious, (the master closet could almost be another bedroom) and the pool is an excellent relaxer, always in the 80s when we have been. And the water slide is "A to the some" says my te […] en. Read more

The moment I walked into the hotel, I was greeted with extremely friendly service. The hotel felt very homey and down to earth. My room was maintained quite well and was clean. My only complaint would be the loud TV that was playing in the room upstairs; it was so loud that it penetrated the floor into my room. The breakfast the next morning was also […] iffy, there was not that much of a variety. But overall, I think the Handy Suites is comfortable especially for what you pay :) Read more

Considering the rate this place was fine. Not in great shape but almost clean and I had no problems during my stay. So I'd rate it a solid "medium"!

Hotel is a little dated, but the suites are large and inexpensive, bed was comfy, and worked for our trip to Burlington. Short drive to downtown area.

We love this hotel, we stayed the night before my husbands oncology appointment, they were great. The room was clean and homey. The young lady also helped us find a resturant that satisfied my husbands dietary needs.

The "suite" was larger and nicer (and better furnished) than some apartments I have known -- with complete kitchen, and free internet. The staff was always friendly and helpful. Breakfast was nothing fancy, but it was convenient to have something available in the mornings before I dashed off to my events. I felt like I was getting a lot more than I […] expect for the price!

We were pleasantly surprised with Handy Suites, Essex. The customer service was absolutely fantastic. The entire staff bent over backwards to make sure our stay was like a 5 star hotel. The manager especially was helpful and friendly. The rooms are large, comfortable and clean. I would recommend this hotel and will return on our next business trip. […] The best part is the stay did not cost us a arm and leg. Read more

I forgot there was Wi-Fi only in the lobby, and wired internet in my room. Needed a cable, which I usually travel with, but had left it back at the office. And unfortunately, the front desk looked in vain for a cable to set me up with. Maybe it was a blessing to be "unplugged" for a day in VT? The breakfast muffins were nice and fresh, and the OJ is […] really quite good too. It's definitely a good price for what you get. Read more

This was a true suites hotel. Full kitchen, living/hanging out area with fold out couch. Seperate bedroom, walk in closet. More than enough space. everthing was clean. The service was top-notch. The pool had a slide. What a great hotel.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

My bf and I decided to get a room because his roommate had company so we were looking for something affordable but decent. I think this hotel matched that description. Overall the hotel is nice, the front desk manager was pleasant (even though we checked in very late, around 11pm) the biggest issue we had with our stay was the cleanliness of our room. […] We literally could not sit on our couch it looked as if it had never been cleaned! There were clumps of pet fur all over it and it just really was not hotel quality in any way shape or form. I covered it with towels with the intention of sitting there but we stuck to the kitchen table and bedroom... Needless to say we did not leave housekeeping a tip. aside from that it's a great value and a good location :) Read more

My room was more like a small apartment than a hotel. It had everything; stove, refrigerator, pots and pans, utensils, even a dish washer for crying out loud. Very convenient. Nice and clean.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

First we get there like an hour early by mistake after driving 4 hours to get there and the young lady at the counter said well u are very early please let me check to make sure your room is cleaned.. When we first got there it smelled like dead fish. Our room was ok even though it could be updated. the indoor pool was cold and had rust all around the […] inside and the outside of the pool.. We could hear a dog barking all night as well as slamming doors all night long.. Then when we got home there was a message from the hotel asking if we were coming or not.. Hello u checked us in so I called to let them know we were there all night and what room they said oh we apologize for that don't worry about it... Read more

Loved this place! Very clean, very friendly staff, and best of all an amazing price for the size of the suite. When they say handy suites, they mean it.. full kitchen, large bathroom, living room with pull out couch, and a separate bedroom with walk-in closet. Close proximity to downtown Burlington and surrounding mountain resorts. Two thumbs up

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The price I paid was cheaper than most hotels in the area. So, I expected a normal-sized hotel room. But when we arrived, it was a much larger room than I expected. It seems like it's an extended-stay hotel, so I was extremely pleased with the price. Also a plus, was that they had a water slide in the pool. My only gripe with the hotel was that there […] was a lot of run in and around the pool. Read more

The suite included a living room-kitchen area as well as a bedroom. The bedroom alone was almost as large as some regular hotel rooms. The kitchen was eat-in with a large table. It also had two couches. The staff was very accomodating as I had to leave one day early.

We've used this town and surrounding towns as a pit stop on our way to Smugglers' for 10 years now. We've tried a few other area hotels; this one is by far the best in the budget range. Very large rooms with kitchenettes, dated furnishings, but clean; indoor pool is nice for kids but the slide is a hazard, make sure your kids understand to stay way […] clear of bottom of slide snd watch for clueless kids standing underneath before sliding down; breakfast included, though food options are slim; staff is friendly and helpful. We will definitely make this our regular stopover before skiing. Read more

Big, meticulously clean suites. Well kept-up and warm welcome.Will definitely stay here again!

The only aspect to improve is the breakfast selection, or possibly vary it by the day. The manager is very cordial and rooms (suites) are large, clean and a very good value.

This was a great deal! The room was large with a kitchen and livingroom. Full size fridge! It made my stay very comfortable....when I was inside the rood.

We had a 10 day stay at Handy Suites 11/29 - 12/8/2012. The room was large with a separate bedroom and a nice kitchenette with full sized fridge, and a very large closet.

Excellent price, clean...our room was not cleaned on thanksgiving because we had a "do not disturb" sign up until noon when evidently the staff left...no new towels, bed not made ...wish we had known Check-in staff was unpleasant re: my dog. I was told I should have "made arrangements for him in advance" and that this info was "all over their website". […] She said the hotel might not be able to accommodate us.

Great location, staff, and tons of room. Complimentary breakfast variable, but okay for a start.

We had a great stay at The Handy Suites! We could not get over how large the suite was, especially for such a low price. It was very clean & only a short drive to downtown Burlington. I would definitely recommend this to anyone! We can't wait to go back next Thaksgiving!

Great rate for the location. Only a short drive to Church street and the mall, close to Walmart and Essex Outlet shoppes.

Handy Suites is an excellent value. Great hotel for a family. Breakfast is adequate.

My fiance & I were pleasantly surprised by the quality of this hotel. The room (I should say rooms) were capacious & well kept, it even had a dishwasher, a kitchen table, full fridge/freezer, stove, couch in one room & 2 tvs. Really good deal & everything was clean. Staff was very friendly & genuine. We enjoyed our stay =]

We had Suite 215 and were amazed at how spacious. It would be nice to have a couple recliners in the LR side of the main room. Also, not many dishes with which to fix meals so for those staying more than overnight they would be lacking in what they needed. Overall it was nice and we will stay there again in the future.

The front desk staff were super nice! The room was in great shape and the hotel is located close to the Burlington Airport. And the rate was such a deal. My girlfriend and I were very happy with our stay at the Handy Suites.

After a grueling foggy drive we were worried to find the front doors locked at 2 am. We needn't have been.

Hallways and lobby were not plush but the room was wonderful and roomy. […] Will stay there again. Read more
