Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Great location for slopeside skiing. Camp, the restaurant in the bottom floor was not that great. Front desk staff was friendly and polite, but understaffed. Staff in general was very nice though.
The rooms haven’t been updated in at least 30 years maybe 40, Refrigerator barely got cold, and the back burner on our stove did not work.
In view of the amount of money we paid to stay slope slide on a holiday weekend, I thought that they would light the fire pit outback every night, but they did not. In fact, we were told that if we wanted it lit, we had to talk to rentals to actually pay for the firepit to be lit, Which again not that accommodating when you’re paying $350 a night for a room. There were no other festivities around the hotel and the fireworks occurring at Sunday River were not visible from the hotel
Aside from that if you’re a beginner, The only way to get from the mountain to the rest of Sunday River is through a narrow, steep winding “green” that would be a blue if not a black anywhere else. Not exactly confidence, inspiring for the beginner that was with me.
Heated pool was great, as were the hot tubs. There is a smoking area which is covered in front of the hotel but we were there were during a cold spell and it really would’ve been nice to have a heater lamp above that area the same way they have a heater lamp above the front entrance. That would’ve made my Sunday evening cigar much more enjoyable.
Overall, I liked the place despite its shortcomings
