A buddy & I stopped in on our way from Montreal for a couple of days skiing & we shared a roo m with 2 queen size beds. Very comfortable, plenty of wall hooks for ski coats & pants, lots of towels supplied, & a great TV that allowed us to get plenty of choice of what to watch when bedding down. The bathroom is very tiny, but having the wash sink on the outside of it allowed the 2 of us to "take care of our business" at the sme time which was handy. This type of room would only handle 2 people, to think a family of 4 could share would be suicide unless the kids were very small. No pool or hot tub onsite, wasn't far, but it would entail gettin gin the car, so no thanks. Ski lockers are provided with the room, so you take care of that yourself, & they had a nice TV room (free Wifi access) with sofas & plenty of chairs & coat hangers right when you ski in so you can take off your boots inside & also on when going out so that you don't have to clump up & doen the stairs & halls with your ski boots on. The Shipyard Brewhaus was cosy & we had 3 good meals there Breakfast in the adjoining restaurant was OK only, (coffee was lukewarm one morning despite us alerting the waitress). I'll be back with the wife.

The hotel itself is positioned at the foot of Sugarloaf, but you can't ski right from your door...you have to drive up to the Main Lodge and park there, then hike or get a bus to the Lodge. There were long black hairs in the tub upon check in. We wanted to relax and possibly rent a movie after skiing all day. Just cable, no option for movie rental. Extra pillows in the closet were water stained from the chimney (brick chimney was in the closet). The hotel/restaurant area was nice and smelled like the kitchen, but once you passed through the doors, which went to the bedrooms it smelled like an old, musty hotel.

I took my granddaughter skiing and stayed at Sugarloaf Inn and it is a great place to ski. The staff at the hotel was so nice and always more than willing to offer advice. We did not need anything done to our room, they were cleaned very well and we felt pampered. It's great to have the hotel situated so close to so many different restaurants right at your door as well as skiing; health/spa facility. Just a great place to go.

This property really is SKI IN-SKI OUT slopeslide lodging. There is no hiking while carrying skis required. They are not exagerrating when they say SKI IN-SKI OUT. So that is probably my favorite part about this lodging. There are ski lockers downstairs and you can literally cross-country ski yourself to the lift line, just about 10-20 yards away. (I say cross-country because this part is flat.) Or, if you prefer, you can head about half a mile downhill instead to the condo area and pickup a lift from there, thus avoiding any cross-country skiing at all.

The lodging pretty well met standard lodging expectations. The only trouble we had was with noise. However, I should note that we stayed New Year's Eve and there was a celebration going on at the bar downstairs. (We're a little odd in that we don't stay up late that night.) So we did have trouble sleeping with the lack of sound proofing. I should also note that we had the "honeymoon suite" - one of only a couple rooms with a king size bed and a deck, but located in the center of the property. The majority of the rooms are queen or double beds and are located in wings to either side, which probably provides more soundproofing. Putting the noise aside, we very much enjoyed our stay.

BTW, Sugarloaf is a GREAT mountain to ski. Because it's so remote (be prepared for a heck of a drive) it is not very crowded, yet the snow conditions are consistently good, and there is a plethora of terrain for all abilities. All mountains claim to have something for everyone, but this one REALLY does. As a beginner, there were several gentle slopes for me to get started on, and when I came back as an intermediate skier I again found plenty of variety at my level. I'm not a black diamond skier yet, but the expert skiers in my group really enjoyed themselves as well, "skiing really hard all day long." Sugarloaf also recently installed a magic carpet lift for true beginners. The lesson programs here are also great. I've enjoyed lessons at almost every place I've taken them, but I am just amazed by how much the Sugarloaf instructors have helped me improve.

However, be prepared to PAY for it! We stayed 3 nights, and there were 2 adults and no kids in our party. Lodging included breakfast, lift tickets, and ski lessons for both of us each day. The cost was $300 per night.
