Shadylawn Motel 687 Maple Street, Hartford, VT 05001

"Not a place to stay on vacation with a family it's long term low income housing primarily and in dire need of remodeling. Very polite staff just not a place to stay on a trip or otherwise for money."

"I stayed here years ago and am here again. It has no bed bugs. Never have seen any. Maybe in past someone had but preventive measures are in place. Mgmt has remodeled and cleaned and painted the rooms. The manager has a zero tolerance for drugs and much of the things mentioned in past. I prefer here over the super 8 any day."

"I have been here for over a year now and I have found it to be a very quiet and peaceful place. The owners have been working with me and they have been very nice. My room is clean and I like my room. My only complaint is how expensive it is to stay here long term when you can't find housing. Luckily the owners are very much helpful. As long as you treat them with respect and their motel with respect they will be very nice and helpful in return. I have to say this place has come a long way in the positive direction and it is a good place to stay."

"I've been staying here for a couple of weeks waiting for my housing. The owners have been nothing but friendly and accommodating. They welcomed my 2 cats at a minimal charge. The room was clean with some upgrades. The current guests have been quiet and respectful. This Motel has come a long way towards reestablishing its reputation as a more stable, trouble free place to stay."

"I temporarily rented an extended stay room while searching the Upper Valley for the right apartment. The paint is identical to the Fireside Inn, and the furnishings are all matching Cherrywood. I have a full and separate kitchen, a brand new and comfortable mattress, new carpeting, freezing cold air-conditioning, great WIFI, Movie Channels, and a brand new flat-screen. The entire hotel is quiet every night. I ended up hearing that this hotel had a bad reputation in the past, and I can say that if it did, that the new management here is doing an amazing job! The other local hotels, such as the Super 8 was loud, chaotic, and the hotel that was the one filled with crime and chaos. I was at the other place for 1 night and will never go back there again. There have been major renovations at Shady Lawn, trees planted and flowers, bushes and planters everywhere, and the property is beautifully maintained! It suited my needs more than any other local hotel could, at a weekly affordable rate....There is also a great large/small dog park right down the street and a beautiful river to go swimming in. and is less than a 1 minute drive to The Upper Valley Food Co-op, which is great! It is in a neighborhood rather than a huge commercial/business area, which is great! The old reviews are exactly that....old reviews, and some potentially from the kind of people the management WONT allow to stay here or competing hotels, hence no picture of the supposed "people" reviewing the hotel. I hope this helps to guide your choice. They deserve support as they are a non-corporate, family owned and operated business...and they truly care about your stay and their hotel."
