“Bare Bones Basic but great common area”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 April 2011
1
person found this review helpful

This place had some pluses and negatives. The pluses - Very convenient to Ski Area, Excellent breakfast buffet, Onsite dining was good but overpriced, The Common Room with Cathedral ceiling and bar area was great for hanging out. A wonderful fireplace and comfy couches. Our room was OK. It was one of the newly refinished rooms. It was clean but small. There was a door that opened to the outside, where there is a brook. In the summer, this would have been nice, but there wasn't a screen on the door. And there were no windows. So if you stayed there during the summer it would be the AC or nothing at all (you wouldn't be able to hear the babbling brook). We traveled with another family. 4 of them stayed in the room with two double beds. Way too crowded. It was an older room and smelled very musty. Breakfast was tasty and filling. We had dinner which was an all-you-could-eat Polish Buffet. The food was good, but I thought overpriced. I've stayed at much nicer places in ski area's for 1/3 less the cost.

Room Tip: Newly renovated section, facing the back (brook)

“Absolutely Horrible”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 October 2010

people found this review helpful

The Matterhorn Inn in West Dover Vermont was with out a doubt the worst place I have ever stayed. The management/owners were incerdibly rude and unhelpful, the rooms were in complete and total disrepair. Nothing worked; broken windows, broken furniture, no hot water and a bed that listed worse than the Titanic. The room price was extremely expensive considering you received absolutely nothing for your money. They also attempt to charge a gratuity to their customers and were furious when I asked them to remove it. My best advice - STAY AWAY!!!!

“Not so hot”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 October 2010
1
person found this review helpful

We arrived at the Inn and were told that the “suite” we had reserved was no longer available due to the previous traveler not checking out, and was then given another room. Upon getting to our room the door to the suite that we had reserved was open and lo and behold the room was empty and ready for the next visitors. We went back to the desk and only after threatening to cancel our Visa and write a bad review on TripAdvisor did they move us into the room that was promised. Once in the room we discovered that the windows did not lock and the majority of the draws in the dresser were broken and unusable, I had to place my clothes on the sofa due to lack of space. The bed was tilted at a downward angle and every move created a loud squeaking that made it tough to sleep. The shower had terrible water pressure and the hot water was luke warm.
There was also a gratuity that was added to the bill, when we asked what this was for we were told it was for the privilege of staying at the Inn, they did however waive this.
This might be a great place after a day on the slopes but all in all I would not recommend this Inn and was dissatisfied

“The best hospitality I've ever experienced”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 October 2010

This place rocks. Walk into the Inn and go straight into the 'Great Room' with high ceilings, comfortable couches and a large fieldstone fireplace. Note the life size camel in the loft! Right off of there is the bar and on the other side the restaurant. Saturdays is their buffet night and the food was spectacular. But the best part of the place is that you feel at home. You're likely to be on a first name basis with the staff which are a close Polish family; Andrew, the son on the bar, Wanda, the mum is the host and Joe, the head of the family is always milling around making sure everyone is happy. It's a definite must see and if you're looking to stay, the hotel is less than 2 miles from Mount Snow and on the free shuttle route. It's also on the snowmobile trails and has a large enough parking lot for your trailer.

“a home oway from home because of the owners who treat you like family who is there to visit.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 July 2010

Atmosphere is verything but old world hospitality defeats the new age customer service.The owners dint take a course on dealing with guests from the Ritz, they brought it from a Eauropean home.The amenities are there , entertainment is there . The rooms are clean. You can relax or explore the area.
