Dated property, room has musty smell, 32 inch TV, radiator made metal cracking sound all night, window leaks cold air. SPA area is a joke, sauna room is only warm. The only postive thing is the shuttle to ski base is every 10-15 minutes.

I love the black bear lodge, this was the second year staying there and we will be back. The staff (night front desk and ALL room attendants) really make it worth the stay, honestly. The overnight woman was new but she was on point. More hospitality services need to hire people like her, she is a gem within that hotel.

My husband would rate it a 1 because there was no coffee in the rooms and none available in lobby. Just with breakfast. I agree there should have been coffee somewhere.
