Terrific location. Very accessible to Sugar Bowl Ski Resort. Staff very friendly and efficient. Room and breakfast adequate. Bed comfortable. Could have used an extra chair or couch. Good water flow and hot water available. Breakfast area a little small..not always large enough for guests and cold/windy entranceway exposing windy gusts. Overall, very satisfied.

FANTASTIC HOTEL. Very clean rooms, with updated furnishings and decor. The lobby has a nice little fireplace with soft chairs, and fresh coffee and hot chocolate 24 hours a day. Breakfast was nice (simple but plenty of offerings hot and cold) and the staff was friendly, helpful, and kind. Overall, fantastic and way better than the average roadside hotel.

I would give this 5 stars, but we are used to a memory foam bed mattress and our bed was too firm. Both my wife and I tossed and turned and woke up feeling sore in the hips due to the bed. The breakfast was good and appreciate the hospitality that was rendered.
