The Hilton mid-scale in Colchester, north of Burlington proper. Clean, consistent, well managed, and the credible choice for a road-trip family or a multi-night corporate stay that does not need to be on the lake.
"The Hilton mid-scale in Colchester, north of Burlington proper. Clean, consistent, well managed, and the credible choice for a road-trip family or a multi-night corporate stay that does not need to be on the lake."
The Hampton Inn & Suites Burlington occupies a corner of the Mountain View Drive cluster in Colchester, fifteen minutes north of downtown Burlington along Route 7 and a similar twelve minutes from BTV airport. The 187-room property opened in the late 2000s as part of the Mountain View commercial node and has been continuously updated to the brand's contemporary Hampton specification through the past five years. It is the Hilton family's mid-scale answer in the Burlington market: not on the waterfront, not a destination, but a properly managed, full-amenity midscale that delivers what the Hampton brand promises with above-average operational consistency.
Rooms run the Hampton refresh palette, roughly 24 to 32 square metres for studios and one-bedroom suites; the property's distinguishing feature is the relatively high share of suite inventory, including studio kitchenettes and one-bedroom family suites with two doubles plus a sofa bed. WiFi is included, parking is free and surface-level, and the bathrooms are the brand-standard refreshed product. The studio kitchenette category is the long-stay booking; the family suite is the practical pick for the road-trip weekend.
Breakfast is the property's defining food moment, the brand's expanded hot breakfast served daily, generous for the rate and a meaningful piece of the value calculation. There is no full restaurant on site; the surrounding Mountain View cluster has the standard road-side American restaurant options within a five-minute drive, and downtown Burlington and Church Street Marketplace are twelve minutes by car.
The Hampton's quiet operational advantage is the heated salt-water indoor pool, which is the largest pool in the Burlington area mid-scale stock and one of the better hotel pools in the region full stop. A 24-hour fitness centre, a business workstation, a guest laundry, and the included WiFi round out the amenity sheet. Service runs better than the brand benchmark; the property is consistently rated in the top quartile of Hampton inventory nationally for guest satisfaction and consistency. For a family road trip, a corporate per-diem stay, or a wedding block needing reliable mid-scale rooms, this is a credible booking that beats the equivalent stock in central Burlington on price by a meaningful margin.
For business travel that does not need a downtown address, the Hampton runs cleaner on rate and amenity than the comparable inventory at the lake. Free parking, included hot breakfast, dependable WiFi, and a 24-hour fitness centre cover the basics; the multi-night savings against the Hilton waterfront product are substantial.
For a family road trip through Vermont, the Hampton's heated salt-water indoor pool, the family suite inventory with two doubles plus a sleeper sofa, and the included breakfast are the operational reasons this property over-delivers on the brand standard. The Champlain Islands ferry and the Burlington bike path are both within a fifteen-minute drive.
