This hotel is not in operation

Booked this hotel on 7/3, received a confirmation email from the proprietor asking for my arrival time (to which I responded), and arrived the evening of 7/4 to find the hotel closed, dark, and empty. Next door, restaurant staff told us it had been closed for at least a month, and that guests frequently booked it only to find, as my friends and I did, that it is not in operation. We had to scramble to find last-minute accommodation on a holiday weekend when nearly everything was booked. Please do not book a room here.

Very unique inn with cool collectibles. Beds were very comfortable. Breakfast spread was lovely with lots of choices. Fun game room with pool tables. We stayed mid week so very quiet and had the place pretty much to ourselves.

Clean and cozy rooms. We stayed one night for a trip up to Windham with my family which included 4 kids from 2 to 13. Gloria was very responsive, check in and check out was a breeze. It was a quick drive to Windham and we were lucky to be able to get 3 rooms for one night during the middle of a holiday weekend.

Nice Lodge

We stayed here while skiing at Hunter Mountain. This lodge is 20 minutes from the Mountain, but the staff was more than willing to accommodate our dog. It was quiet. There is a kitchen area for anyone to use and food for the guests to eat. I would come here again.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Unfriendly staff. The staff waa mad because rhwy thought we were arriving earlier. After we went up to the room i went to the car to get my phone charger i was locked out of the hotel. Had to go through an exterior stairway an for my luck we were on the corner room and after a while my wife heard me and open an emergency door and finally i was abke to go back in. I saw other guests having the same problem.

Easy access after hours. Room was nice, but bottom sheet was not very comfortable, so I slept on the top sheet which was much higher quality. I had an excellent nights sleep.

Decent place

A decent hotel for the area and for its price. The noise cancellation is not very well, so if you have loud neighbors that could be an issue. People work there are extremely nice, however.

Verified traveler

Disliked: Staff & service
Our worst, embarrassing and humiliating experience. This place is run be irresponsible hotel management crew Here's our story.... - Reserved a room, "checked in" on schedule at 4:20 PM, paid in advance, received the key, examined the room, and left the hotel to visit some friends in the area. - Returned at 11:00 PM with my wife to retire for the night, turned the key and opened the door. At that instance we heard screams coming from inside the dark room - 'Hey! Hey! Hey!', "What're you doing, what're you doing", "Get outta here" in aggressive voices ... obviously they gave the same room to some other customers ... this is inexcusable. - There was no staff on the premises, the office door was locked, called their phone number, and all I got was a voice message stating that operating hours are during the day time ... we were stranded. - By chance, a neighbor across the street was returning home late that night, we approached him and explained our situation. Luckily he had the hotel manager's mobile number, and was able to contact. - Later that night the manager returned to the hotel to meet us, says "sorry it's my fault", and gave as a different room, asserting "you don't have to pay for this" (although we had already paid for the room in advance). - As of today (one week later), no additional contact was initiated from management, or have seen any refund, and most likely, will never get one. How could anyone run a hotel business, where in emergencies can not be contacted.

Very clean and the bed was so comfortable! Very friendly staff. Pillows were too flat, volume didn’t work on remote. Floors very creaky (it’s an old building) and when people walked upstairs it was pretty loud. Didn’t love the pedestal sink in the bathroom-no place to put my stuff. That said, I loved the quaintness of it and the location was great. Had a fantastic dinner at Vesuvius next door.

This lodge was very cute. Gloria, the hotel manager, went above and beyond in accommodating our every need, and made us feel that we were right at home. The rooms were spacious, and there was a beautiful continental breakfast spread for us in the morning before we hit the road to head back home. Would definitely stay again!
