We liked our corner room although the walls were very thin so we were awoken by our neighbors talking loudly the first night. The second night, after a long day of skiing we were looking forward to the hot tub but were told it was closed and to “try again tomorrow.” The third night we did go in the hot tub and it was pretty dirty and didn’t appear to have been cleaned in awhile.

We had to change rooms because the old toilet wouldn't stop running in the first room. The second room was spotless except for the grout and cauking in the bathroom that was blackened. Everything else about the place was very good and very comfortable. The staff was kind and helpful. The continental breakfast included scrambled eggs and bacon that we weren't expecting. Overall we very happy with our stay.

Over priced & smells awful

We were in town for a hockey tournament & I requested a room with two beds vs a king. My friend paid significantly less than me booking through Orbitz and she got a huge, clean, sweet. Our room smelled like stale cigarettes & cheap air freshener. After spending our evening in my friend’s suite we got back to our room, we’re getting ready for bed & could hear someone in the next room over coughing. IT WAS AWFUL.

Great motel in a convenient location

Staff was friendly and helpful. The free breakfast was good, but should be served earlier than 8am on the weekends. The rooms were spacious, but the heat was too hot in the rooms and could not be turned down. The indoor pool was more like a cold plunge and the filter in the hot tub needed to be changed. Located in a cute town, with lots of shops and restaurants nearby.

Our suite was beautiful, and had a nice view from the deck. The jacuzzi tub was big enough to fit 2 in. The bathroom was roomy with his/hers sinks and a decent sized shower. The indoor pool, hot tub and workout area were just a short distance away (we chose to drive it due to icy conditions.) The breakfast was somewhat limited but very good (toast, bagels, bacon, scrambled eggs, yogurt, cereal, fruit, coffee and juices.) We would definitely stay there again if we are in the area. The only thing that wasn't working right was the fireplace, but they offered to come fix it and we refused the offer.
