Brand new king sized bed and spacious bunk beds. Clean, cozy, and reasonably quiet. We have stayed here many times and will continue to return. Very responsive management.

This stay was really enjoyable. We were skiing Sunday River and found this place online. The room was very nicely decorated. There was a bin of garbage that was left from the people who stayed before us but other than that the room was really clean. The staff was really nice and helpful, they don't have an office but rather a phone number that you can call/text and they answer right away. The room was small, although there were two beds, with all of our skiing gear it was a tight fit and couldn't imagine having more than just the two of us staying there but again, for the price it was great! We would definitely stay again and recommend to friends.

Snow Angels

We had absolutely wonderful stay. There was a fresh snowfall the evening we were there and woke up to the most gorgeous scene. We ended up drinking coffee in the hot tub and making snow angels. I can’t thank this place enough.

Although there were some hiccups with the heating in our unit, staff, specifically Colin, was responsive, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure that myself and my family were well taken care of. Some of the best customer service we have ever experienced, including waking up early to ensure that the ground was properly salted in winter to ensure safe passage and frequent check-ins to ensure the quality of our experience.

Very average accommodation, not worth the pricetag

Very basic property, effectively a prefab building of a motel form. Accommodation is clean, no interaction with owner/anyone of the property as the room number is text before arriving and door left unlocked. Room was cool upon entering, took a few hours to warm up. Room/bedding smelt musty throughout the stay. Definitely not worth the $ paid, but all properties in the area take advantage of the limited supply of accommodation options around Sunday River; worth at most ~$80/night...

Check in was super easy. Hotel is just out of town, so it is easy to find places to eat without traveling far. Comfortable night's sleep. You have to deal with a little road noise before falling asleep and as you awake, but nothing too bad. My only complaint was that the hot tub was not hot at all, 65 degrees.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I was sent a message saying I was in room 1 and that the door is unlocked and the key is inside. I showed up only to discover that someone else was already in the room. Strike 1. Then, I get sent to a different room and end up with the neighbors from heck on both sides of my room. They had the tv turned up so loud I could hear it through the walls. I holered to them to turn it down. They called the front desk and complained that I was yelling Strike 2. The front desk called me and threatened to kick me out. I told him why I hollered but he didn't care. So my complaint was totally dismissed. STRIKE 3 I will never stay here again and I don't recommend this terrible place to anyone. I left at 2 a.m.and will never go back.

This is a nice little motel close to Sunday River. The price is reasonable and the rooms are clean. The walls are a bit thin and you can hear what goes on in the adjacent room. Will likely stay here again mainly due to the price and location.

Would stay again.

The steps still had snow on them. The people in the next room continued to make noise well into the night. Overall, except for noisy neighbors, the stay was fine. The check in was, for us, unique and worked well. We would stay there again and hope for a quieter night.
