We have stayed at the Fairbanks for two years running now. We utilize the skiing packages which are a great value. Burke is about 20 minutes and Jay is about an hour. The rooms are very large, well appointed (2 queen beds, 2 sinks - one in a separate dressing area and one in the bath, small fridge and micro)... More

I called in to hold a room on a recommendation from a friend. I was told there was one left but was later asked if I wanted ground level or higher floor. I ended up staying elsewhere and expected to be charged a cancellation fee even though their cancellation policy was never mentioned. I was shocked to find I had... More

St Johnsbury was an unexpected stop in northern Vermont to enjoy the Fall colour which was peaking before early. We stayed three nights in this delightful motel on the outskirts and would recommend it highly. Rooms are surprisingly spacious, comfortable though not luxurious, have a small fridge and microwave and are priced reasonably. Each has a balcony or patio overlooking... More

When one of my dogs died suddenly last weekend, I fled to northern Vermont with my other dog, intending to visit Dog Mountain Chapel near St. Johnsbury. We tried several motels, but no dogs were welcome, then found the attractive Fairbanks Inn at the next St. Jay exit. It was perfect. They were so welcoming to me and the rambunctious... More

Not much to chose from in this area. Perhaps a little competition would make this place better. Nice surroundings with lawn and pool, however rooms could use a little "makeover". They have wi-fi, but the farther you are away from the office the less it works. Not too good when on business and need to do computer work.....needed to go... More

Our one-night stopover at the Fairbanks Inn was great fun and quite relaxing. The pool was refreshing and watching the sun set from our ground-floor room patio could not have been more romantic. We even chatted with friends from home who were also having a mental-health getaway there. Good value for the money.
