This is an old rustic building that is also a Brewery/Restaurant/Music Venue. Very cool. Walk into town in a minute. If you are looking for a unique stay, this is it! If you are looking for Shiny new, bell hop, room service, pool, spa etc, this is NOT the place for you.

It was an easy and pleasant stay. Perfect for the price if you are just looking for somewhere to lay your head. We didn't see another human our two days there but we got in late and left early. Most importantly it was clean.

It’s a hotel room to sleep in for $100 a night..Had to buy my own soap and shampoo because the bottles were smaller than travel size. No tv. Glad I had my iPad. Keyless entry is nice. Host is very communicative, excellent in that regards. When I booked the hotel it said one room left, the place was empty, maybe 1 other person staying there…overall I’d stay here again, options are extremely limited in this area. But definitely not worth $100 a night…

The rooms are above the bar area so it can be loud if there is a band. We knew that and were prepared. Ear plugs are provided in the room in case you need them. The room was clean and met our needs. Very reasonable price. We had a nice stay.

It's not clear on expedia that this is also a music venue but anyone intending to stay here should check the Valley Ales website because you can hear the live music in the rooms. The room was cozy and clean but the shower was extremely small (difficult to shave your legs small). I loved opening my window to hear the river outside. It was a convenient location to walk into town.

Very nice, easy place to stay. Charming old New England feel, with a brewery pub and restaurant in house.

Valley craft is a great time. Hotel is nice. Pizza and brewery downstairs is excellent. They do have bands occasionally which can be loud so be aware.

I knew this place as the Red Mill Inn. It's familiar, price was great, and it was quiet. I'll have to remember Monday nites are quiet

Very nice and cute. Really wish it was quieter though, the neighbor was so loud in the morning and woke us up at 7am. They did have a note that tells people that it’ll be loud, so that’s good at least!

A very unique place to stay in southern VT. I did love my view overlooking the river. I can imagine it's a great place to stay in the summer, especially as a group if you're looking for local lodging close to hiking etc. I was there end of May, just before the start of the summer season apparently, and it was all but abandoned which was disconcerting to me. I arrived on a day when the restaurant and bar were closed (monday) and no staff were present. The place has a code lock on the front door for self check-in. It was completely dark and uninhabited when i arrived. Turns out (I learned from one of the owners that was present later that evening) I was one of 2 people staying in the whole place. Being in a town I've never been to before, travelling alone, this was not my ideal. Had I not arrived on a monday, the bar and restaurant would have been open though, and that would have likely felt very different. I would consider staying again under different circumstances because the place is very unique (building and antiques) and the owner was cool when I ran into him. But the whole place (especially windows, carpets and probably HVAC sys) could use a deep spring cleaning! 3 stars for cleanliness felt pretty generous but the bedding and bathroom were spotless and i'm giving the benefit of the doubt due to being off season.

This is my second time staying here. This experience was definitely better than the last as I knew exactly what to expect in regards to noise, the band, parking and crowds. If you know what to expect it is the perfect place. It is not a place to stay if you want good sleep. But if you want great pizza and music, it is perfect if you’re trying to ski on a budget. Come prepared with noise cancelling headphones.

The room was just as expected, basic, clean and comfortable for a solo stay. The noise level SAT night was quite loud due to the band performing downstairs. A TV in the room would be great for relaxing during down times. WiFi was good and bathroom was exceptionally clean and even had toiletries. Only thing lacking was a spare roll of bath tissue.

We love this spot! Yes, it’s an older building with history and the rooms are small, but it’s a great stay! Close to the mountain, always clean and the rooms don’t smell weird like some. The shower stall is small but water is hot! We have stayed in a few rooms and the mattresses are very hard but maybe we are just used to softer ones. You have your own thermostat and it’s not those wall units. The restaurant/bar downstairs is great. The beer is great and so is their pizza. Friendly staff also! If you are high maintenance this place may not be for you, but we love it.
