Here are some resources for classmates who are coming from out of town and seeking lodging in Central Vermont. Hotels (and motels) in and around Barre have changed significantly over the years, especially since the pandemic. Many have been neglected and are now used to lodge individuals and families who are experiencing homelessness. Consider looking into AirBnB, VRBO, Vacasa, etc, if you are looking for something in Barre and/or closer to the reunion venue. Also, we recommend that you book soon, as lodging options may become limited due to the start of foliage season.
Here are some options:
- Reynolds House is a quaint inn located at 102 S Main Street in Barre and very near the High School. Book soon because they only have a few rooms.
- Comfort Inn Suites Montpelier-Berlin is a standard and reliable hotel located just off Interstate 89 Exit 8.
- Capitol Plaza Hotel on State Street in Montpelier is now affiliated with Hilton Hotels and receives consistently good reviews.
- The Inn at Montpelier may be a good option, with 19 rooms in downtown Montpelier.
- Waterbury has two hotels close to Interstate 89 Exit 10, which is about a 20-minute drive from the reunion venue. Consider the Fairfield Inn & Suites or the Best Western Plus.
- Stowe and Waitsfield will have more lodging choices but are also further away.
