We stayed at this resort for 2 nights to visit the area. It's a terrific location for travel to Mt Sunapee and the downtown area. We booked a room with 2 king beds and reserved a cot to accommodate our 3 kids, but since they are young they all shared the king! We ended up cancelling the cot. In planning the trip, I researched the more expensive Mountain Edge Resort, Dexters Inn, and this hotel. Dexters was similar in price, and Mountain Edge was almost double. For the money and the time spent in the hotel, staying at the BW was the perfect decision. The BW has an indoor pool that's more than adequate. It was on the cooler side, but the kids didn't mind at all. There is a wide 3 step entrance to the pool and a deeper end. During our stay, it rained half the time so having the pool before dinner and in the am before checkout was fantastic. Such a great decision. (Dexters has an outdoor pool so we would have been in trouble).
There's a restaurant that shares the parking lot with the BW and to be frank, it looked very "franchise" so we were hesitant that the food would be good. Fantastic again! It's not tuna tartare but it's great pub food, with huge portions, and very very family oriented. Our meal was about $60 total including grown up drinks :) and more than enough good food. And walking distance!
I peeked into the workout room and there were only 3 machines and no free weights in case you are hoping to work out it's minimal.
Breakfast was fantastic given that it was included. A wonderful server, Beth, makes made to order eggs and omelets- I had a delicious egg white omelet with veggies- and homeade belgium waffles. Plus cereals, breads, egg sandwiches, etc. and great coffee. We were stuffed. Note: please tip the staff that works in breakfast area, as they are so helpful and depend on some tips. I didn't realize until I went back for coffee later and quickly left a $5. They do the set up , cook, and clean up. We got there around 7:30 and the place was pretty empty.
Overall we would HIGHLY recommend this hotel for the value, convenience, activities, and family friendly side. We noted as we checked out that our cot charge was never deleted and the front desk took care of it right away without question. The manager, who had been there for 3 weeks, introduced himself and seemed to be quite involved in the hotel already so they might have already made improvements. We'll be back for sure.
