Overall, the Putney Inn is a small, hidden gem. While some of the room furnishings are a bit dated, the beds are new and very comfortable. The owners are in the process of renovating the rooms, so the bathroom plumbing, fixtures and overall room lighting are very up to date. The AC works well and is not overly loud, but you still have the option to open windows - which l love. Honeysuckle on the property was in bloom during my stay, making the fresh air fragrant. One potential downside when opening the windows: the motel is literally just off I-91 Exit 4. You will hear some highway noise (but it's not overly loud unless some trucker decides to serenade you with his horn). While not visible from the property, the motel is only a quarter mile west of New England Central Railroads' tracks. Freight trains will occasionally pass through during late night and early morning hours. They are required to whistle as they pass the neighboring crossing / river access road. Amtrak also passes through here twice daily (just before 1 PM and just after 5 PM unless there are significant schedule delays). I had a few minor inconveniences on my last stay due to ongoing renovations: my room didn't have closet and I couldn't park in front of my room door because there was landscaping materials in the parking space. However, because of the rooms' overall comfort, size and very good Wi-Fi signal, the Putney Inn is quickly becoming my favorite place to stay when I'm in the Brattleboro area.

Rural, no place for dinner. Someone suggested a restaurant in downtown Brattleboro, Whetstone Station~ which turned out to be delightful. We sat outside overlooking the Connecticut River. Staff very friendly and food tasty. Inn looked deserted when we arrived but parking and entrances are on the back side of the inn and eventually the parking lot was full. We ate breakfast at the Putney Diner~maybe 1/2 mile from inn.

When you 1st pull in you will only see one car in the parking lot which was the owners. So you’re probably thinking what the heck? But, thankfully all the others were parked out back near the entrance to their rooms. Restaurant is not functioning on the property and minimal continental breakfast was provided but not mentioned or offered on the Booking.com website? But, they did allow us to use milk for cereal we brought from a gallon in the fridge thankfully.
