Top ECHO Lake Aquarium and Science Center Hotel Reviews

DoubleTree by Hilton Burlington Vermont

10/10 Excellent

"Pleasant"

Hilton Garden Inn Burlington Downtown

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and the bed and bedding were very comfortable. Unfortunately, although the air conditioning worked, it was very loud. We had maintenance look at it but it really didn’t get better. Bathroom door squeaked terribly and I mentioned it at checkout. Also asked for a later checkout but it was not granted. Dean and Sarah were great! Food at the restaurant was delicious. Great location to walk to nearby sights!"

Green Mountain Suites Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Green Mountain Suites Hotel is like a mountain resort nestled in a calm neighborhood in Burlington, VT. The lodge is beautiful and spacious, the staff very attentive and readily available. The included breakfast was fresh and generous. A daily happy hour is included though we were too busy to be there for it. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub. Our two-bedroom suite was terrific for our family of four. Will definitely be back!"

Hotel Vermont

10/10 Excellent

"This is a great location and a lovely hotel clean and comfortable beds"

Holiday Inn Express South Burlington Downtown by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location"

254 South Union Street Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay! Thanks!"

AC Hotel Burlington

8/10 Good

"In general, the rooms were decently appointed and have what you would expect from Marriott, minus a microwave (there’s clearly a space where one was intended to go). The staff were friendly and helpful. For a Marriott-run hotel though, it just felt as though something were missing. Can’t quite put my finger on it. In general, and especially for any UVM parents, the hotels in downtown Burlington are six of one half a dozen of the other. We’ve stayed at the Hotel Champlain, Hilton Garden Inn, Courtyard Marriott, and Hotel Vermont, and there is little to separate them from each other, except for loyalty programs and cost. Personally, I find mandatory valet annoying, especially when you may be in and out several times a day. Fortunately there are several public lots with park mobile available, essentially giving you and-and-out parking when you want it. So maybe the rooms will be a bit bigger at Hotel Vermont, and maybe your best bet for a bit of a water view is at Hotel Champlain, and you can nuke frozen burritos in your room at the Hilton, does any of it really matter? Probably not. These are all largely fungible experiences, all within easy walking distance of Church St and downtown. If you want a different experience go to Blind Tiger."

The Harborvale, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Great location if you want to be near Lake Champlain and the Church Street Marketplace. Staff excededingly helpful and nice."

Blind Tiger Burlington

10/10 Excellent

"Really enjoyed the Blind Tiger. The big shared common areas on the ground floor were great fun. Our favorite was the bright sun room for breakfast or cocktails (byo) or breakfast. We got takeout Indian and had an awesome dinner with wine in the sun room. Good music and thoughtful amenities. Loved the snacks and desserts. Convinient location."
