The pictures on Tally-ho's website look great. We loved the idea of staying in a "lodge" after a day of skiing. When we got there we realized this is actually a nice log shell built around a 1950s hotel motel. There were black handprints on the door, only one light worked in the room, it smelled, there was a hole in the bathroom, the beds looked dirty, and I don't know about this newly remodeled thing they talk about on their website, but our rooms were definitely not remodeled...(unless they purchased their linen from Goodwill). I was afraid to even sit down on the bed. There weren't even phonebooks in the nightstand- probably because they don't want you to look for a nicer room elsewhere.

When I went to the front desk to tell them our room was terrible, the receptionist refused to give us a refund. I told her blatently that I would not let my dog stay in that filthy room. I even contacted their corporate office to try to get a refund with no luck. My credit card company had to refund our money instead. Thankfully we bank with people who care about customer service unlike the folks at the Tally-ho.

We ended up driving 2 hours away to the Westin Super 8. They even gave us a discount because we told them what an awful experience we had at the Tallyho!

From the outside this hotel looks nice and new. They must have rebuilt a new front on a junky old motel. Not the dirtiest room I've ever stayed in but certainly not clean. My bed looked like the sheets had not been changed i had strange hairs in them, my roomates bed had mystery "stains". We stayed for two nights and the sheets also were not changed for the second night. Also the inside of the front door was filthy and had all kinds of dirty paw prints on it. Clearly it had not seen a wipe down in months. Many light fixtures missing bulbs or hanging funny, bathroom fixture was missing the deflector and just had a bare light bulb. Again not the worst room I've stayed in but if you can I'd go elsewhere.

A group of friends & I chose Thomas as a central place to meet and spend a few days exploring and relaxing. While the people of Thomas were great, and the Mountain State Brewing Company excellent - the Tally-Ho was rather disgusting. The lobby and hallways smelled bad. Of what, I have no idea. The front desk personnel were far from personable.

My room smelled filthy, so I ran the air conditioner on full tilt the entire time - it helped somewhat. The leaky shower may have been remodeled during the Cold War, and the light switches all seemed to be on their last legs.

I could go on, but others have already stated some of the same findings as me. If you have a choice, seek out something better. The Blackwater Lodge (across the river) seemed like a very nice possibility in the future.

It was fine. The room was clean, the beds were comfortable...
We were there to ski so as far as a place to crash it was perfect. Great restaurant next door. If you want jacuzzis and hot tubs, you need to go elsewhere...we skied til we dropped, showered and slept. Beautiful area.
