Our family of five stayed at the Edelweiss Motel for 7 nights and spent most of our days skiing Killington and Pico. This place is an excellent value: comfortable, friendly, and extremely well located for skiing. But it's no-frills and it's not perfect, and it's probably not for everyone.
Pros:
1. Location - You can see Pico's ski runs from the motel, and the Killington access road is just 10 minutes away.
2. Price - We got an early booking discount and paid about $130 a night for our entire family during the week from Christmas to New Year's. You just can't beat that.
3. Clean, good-sized, comfortable rooms.
4. Friendly management - The owner is a really nice guy.
5. Very pleasant common room and recreation room, with free pool and shuffleboard tables, drinks and light fare available in the evening.
6. Breakfast included.
7. Minor problems (burnt-out lightbulb, dirty blanket) handled quickly.
8. Excellent maid service.
Cons:
1. Thin walls. You can really hear what's going on next door.
2. Water temperature in the shower fluctuates. The shower is decent (with water-saver showerhead), but god help you if someone next door flushes the toilet. The water becomes so hot that I'd be concerned about leaving a young child alone in the shower.
3. Breakfast is included but is extremely limited. We were served an uninspired cheese omelette and/or french toast every morning with OJ and coffee. There is no buffet with fruit, cereal, yogurt, bagels, hot chocolate, etc. as you might expect. After a few days we started having breakfast out - but then again, at the price we were paying for the room, we could afford to.
4. There's a pleasant hot tub which guests are free to use, but it's in an unheated building across the parking lot from the motel.
5. Too few pillows and too small blankets.
