Stayed in room 15.

Cons: Internet was dicey.. although we weren't in the room enough to use it. No breakfast. Limited amenities.

Pros: Rooms were clean and spacious. Bug free and the property was close to Bennington, VT locations like Walmart etc. Fridges are bigger than a mini-fridge, microwave and coffee maker were functional and the room also came with a iron and ironing board. Televisions in rooms were massive although we didn't use them.
Sure the rooms could use a little updating but the rustic feel felt right. 
Nice, quiet property

Bennington Stay

The place is an old-timer.  My room was clean; decor old but not depressing; paint and wallpaper old but not shabby.  Actual refrigerator.  Some of it is residential; there were kids next door but it was still quiet.  I dealt with the man I took to be the owner, and one other person.  Both very friendly and talkative.  From other reviews I gather I was dealing with a change of management and attitude.  
It's not a Hampton Suites, if that's what you are looking for.  
I was comfortable there.

Outdated decor but clean and quiet, and extremely pleasant people run it.

This motel is way past it's prime.  It needs a lot of work to make it a desirable place to stay overnight.  The tub was peeling and looked dirty and just awful.  I put down an old disposable cloth so we could step into it.  The wallpaper is peeling off, the lamp shades are in tatters, the refrigerator had not been defrosted in many months.   The window did not open.  It is creepy.  

We were definitely overcharged to be staying in such a place.  I notice that today's price is $20 less, which is still too much just to "try to sleep" there.  There are signs that say "if you stay longer than 15 minutes, you will not get your money back"--what an attitude; that does not even give one time to look at the room and go back  to the office to complain.  While we were trying to check in, the lady resident manager spent her time on the phone to someone important (maybe it was her doctor) but she should have had another way to check people in without just handing us a paper to fill out with no greeting at all.  

There was no tea, just a couple of packets of coffee and the lady resident manager said that her boss did not provide tea.  She said she would find some from her own cupboard, but that did not happen.  We checked for bugs and it seemed okay.  The sheets seemed clean.  The faucets are reversed so one gets hot water instead of cold.  There are people living there full time that seem to be low income and need some help.  We felt sorry for them to be there.

Sorry we actually stayed

Being a Bennington native that has since moved out of state my fiancé and my kids and I came back for a family event and booked two rooms online at the west road motel. This place use to be a thriving business. Had a cute cafe and was very well kept. What we pulled up to looked like something from the walking dead. Unkempt lawn lots of weeds and weirdos all over the place. Our room was ok but the room for the kids stunk. And with in five minutes some little brat ran his bike into our rental leaving a large scratch. My oldest daughter and fiancé were like hell no! Went to the office and got a refund. The next hotel we went to in town that saved our asses told us that the west road is now section 8 housing and is like a half way house for people getting out of jail. Under no circumstances do you book here!!!!! I strongly suggest the Bennington motor inn and the Hampton inn they really took care of us. But do not go to the west road it’s a nightmare!!!

Do not stay here!!!

Stinky room, sheets not changed, had to pay extra for clean sheets to change the bed, then drink some whiskey to be able to sleep there. The nature was beautiful and this motel has a scenic view, great potential… needs new owners!

Do not book here!

Where to begin.... I've stayed at some inexpensive motels over the years and can deal with outdated décor or lack of amenities as long as the rooms are clean.

This was by far the most disgusting motel I've ever encountered in my life.  After checking in at the front desk, we were greeted by someone sitting outside one of the rooms who asked which room we had checked into.  When I told them which room we were in, their response was "Oh good, because there are bed bugs in the rooms on either side of yours."

I normally would have left immediately but we were in town for a music festival and this was the only available room in a half hour drive.  We opted not to leave our luggage in the room after hearing there might be bed bugs and kept it in the car as we went to the concert.  After returning from the concert at midnight, we actually entered the room.  Here are a few highlights:
• Two of the three lights in the room were broken and non-functional
• After stripping the beds to check for bed bugs, we found the sheets covered with pubic hair
• The wallpaper was peeling off the walls everywhere
• Sections of the baseboard heat were exposed 
• The shower was so disgusting that I wouldn't have stepped into it with shoes on
• The entire room smelled like musty cigarettes
• The pillows were so thin that even when all 4 were stacked on top of one another, it still didn't work as a pillow.
• The minifridge was broken
• Mysterious stains all over sheets, comforters and mattresses
• Bathroom door did not close
• Random holes all over walls & bathroom door
• Room door closed but screen door did not
• 'Free WiFi' did not have internet connected to it
• Hot water came out of the 'cold' tap and vice versa
• Most of the rooms appeared to be lived in full-time by low income families (belongings and garbage covered most of the front patios)

After seeing the state of the room, we debated our options and decided to not even stay the night and just drove the 3 hours home at midnight.

Wouldn't Let My Worst Enemy's Dog Sleep Here

The woman fell asleep and refused to answer the office door.  I honestly think she may have been drunk, we had a very hard time understanding her words. We had booked online, non-refundable.  I called the number on the door for after hours, no response.  We went to another hotel, but that woman said we wouldn't get a refund, she knew the owner, and we needed to go to the side door and knock.  So I did. Repeatedly.  Only after pounding on the door could we get someone to answer.  Then she said she didn't have our reservation.  Then I showed her the reservation, she said, oh, yes I do have your reservation.  Then she started complaining about how she needs her sleep.  No kidding, so did we, and our 2 yo and our six week old baby.  After a bunch of attitude we finally got our room.  Looked OK at first.  Then we saw the sheets were dirty.  Are you kidding me?  Seriously, one of the worst hotel rooms I have ever stayed in.  Beware, stay far away.

IF I could give negative stars I would.

Where to start? Truly disgusting inside and out.  Filthy overall, torn wallpaper, broken window pane - just a terrible room.  This was literally the last room available that we could find in this area as I booked too late for our trip. Will never make that mistake again.

"Bates Motel"

Arrived in the yard to find an overflowing dumpster.  The lawn had not been mowed and the workers were very unprofessional.  We choose to not stay, as it was old , dirty and unfit.   I heard it was nice in its' day....which was about 20 years ago.  Don't even think about staying here.
