Excellent value for your dollar. We stayed in a family room. Things we really liked- quiet, nightlight in bathroom, generous space for luggage by bathroom, hot water galore and great shower pressure. Things we didn't like-Double bed with bunk overhead mattress is a bit uncomfortable. Freezer was not usable due to ice build up. And the 'queen' bed was a double. Enjoyed the hot tub too. All in all we would stay here again.

Although the property was a no host property, it was easy and convenient finding our room. The hot tub was an added bonus, and the area felt very safe. Great barbecue food truck right by the hotel and a very nice little grocery store along with a Circle K across the street. Just would appreciate having shampoo, conditioner, and body wash that actually worked in the shower.

The room was very nice, well lit, very roomy, and the bed comfortable. Nice. We loved the location and view. Good health food store next door. And, a gas station across the street. For me a shorter person, the bottom step of the stairway was higher than normal and when wet was slippery. So be careful when stepping down.

Drive-up motel entrance so we can go in and out of room close to car and not have steps or lobby to contend with. We could bring our ski gear in easily to room. Very clean, everything we needed, great king mattress, hot water, good heat. You do need earplugs because of the truck traffic that downshift in front of motel, and if you are a light sleeper, it could wake you in the early morning.

The property is in a great location for the Sunday River Resort, restaurants near by as well. Quiet and easy process to stay for a short trip on the mountain. Few hairs in the beds, quite sandy in parking lot that tracks into the hard floors, season plays a factor understandably. Overall great stay!

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.
