I stayed at this hotel about 5 years ago while on a ski trip with friends and family. It was a value hotel then and still is today. Unfortunately, management hasn’t put much money into keeping the building up over the last 5 years. Our view out the back showed the roof eaves rotting and sagging and very few noticeable improvements inside since my previous visit. All we needed was a place to crash over night and we were not disappointed with the accommodations for the price we paid. The bathroom and bedding were clean but the whole place is getting dated and needs remodeling. It’s still a good ski/crash pad location for the price but won’t be for much longer if they don’t put some money in the place soon. The hotel sits alone about 5 miles up the mountain from Rutland.

Went with "the girls" for a ski get-a-way and had a great time. We had 3 rooms between us and all 3 wore spacious, clean and bright. The staff went out of their way to group our rooms together and make sure we had everything we needed. We loved the fireplace and the feeling we had a cozy living room to gather in. We had called around and found they had the best value considering price, location and accommodations - we made the right choice! when we do these "the Girls " get always we have to consider everyone’s budget and sometimes that means a shorter stay - here we got such a good deal we wore able to make it a long four day weekend. One of the girls has an elderly pet that she does not like to leave and she was welcome to bring her baby with her - very pet friendly :) We are all ready talking of going again - maybe in the summer or the fall.

Stayed at lodge for a ski trip. Spent two nights. Picked this property because they let us bring our cat (at a charge of $12 PER DAY + tax). We knew about the pet charge and seasonal tax, but not about the other hidden charges. If you have a safe in your room (we did NOT ask for a room with a safe) you will be charged $1.00 a day + tax. FYI: there is a State tax, Other tax and "Miscellaneous" charge/tax(?) applied to every single charge, hidden or not. There is also a hidden DAILY Service/Gratuity charge as well (On the fabulous service! AND is taxed of course!). What a joke! Customer service oriented they are not. We checked-out on Christmas day due to weather and the employee at the front desk was not too happy. He told us to be out by 10 am because he "had Christmas too." Check-out is normally 10:30. Decor is much like you would experience at a gasthouse in Austria or Germany. Rooms dated, but clean. They need new blankets because there are suspicious stains all over them. Good place to drop your skis and rest your head, nothing more. "Hot tub" fits maybe 4 people and was covered with grit. We didn't utilize the hot tub. The continental breaksfast was limited at best with one tub of margarine and one jar of grape jelly to be shared by all ...with one communal knife. Coffee was drinkable. Lastly, there is a community computer w/Internet. Nice amenity, but monopolized by unsupervised children who abuse the privilege. Bottom line: My husband and I will not be staying there again. We'll hire a pet sitter.

My wife and I just spent the last three weeks on a road trip staying in a total of 15 different hotesl/motels. I rate this 13th lowest out of those 15 as it is worn, slightly dirty, and has the most disinterested front desk clerk we met. Also we were charged 10% more than quoted by Travelocity when we made the reservation.

That said, for one night on our way to somewhere else it was ok.
