The room was very clean, recently renovated. The bed was very comfortable, we had a problem with the TV but the owner came right over and took care of it. The bathroom was a bit small but met our needs. Table and chairs were too small and the decor seemed cheap. But the bed was the most important part of this stay. We got a good nights sleep. I would stay here again but it would be crowded with 4 people.

Hot tub well maintained, water 102, could be raised to 104. All jets working. The sink/shower took a long time to heat up. The shower head is HIGH and didn't have enough room to swivel, but if you can reach it, it can be hand held. Communication with staff is by text message. We liked the guest-accessible room with an ice maker, clean towels and amenities like toothpaste and soap.

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 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!
