I don't usually leave reviews but I do feel it's good feedback to say the rooms are in need of an update. The beds were rock solid, the pillows were too large to be comfortable. I'm kind of shocked no one else has mentioned this in reviews. It was the worst sleep I've had at a hotel which was frustrating after a full day of driving. When I walked in it smelled strange and chemically, at least I knew it was clean but a bit overwhelming. Weirdly, the shower had no soap bar holder so it was a bit inconvenient to shower. On the good side, the restaurant was nice and convenient to have. The restaurant staff were very nice and were a highlight to this hotel. They were sweet people to talk to. The lobby area was nice to hang out in as well. I was here during summer in June, so less people around in general. There is not much around in terms of food.

The only problem was the quite non-transparent after-hours check-in procedure. The first time I was sent the link to the OpenKey app, my phone number hadn't even been put into the system, so OpenKey couldn't find my reservation. Then when I was sent a check-in message again (on the day of my reservation), there wasn't enough information about the OpenKey check-in process. I tried to use OpenKey on my phone on the outside door of my room, and it didn't work. Lucky that I thought to try OpenKey on the front desk entrance! But then OpenKey didn't work on my hallway room door either. Lucky that my roommate thought to look behind the front desk and found a key card envelope left for us! None of this crucial information was provided in any of the check-in messages or via the OpenKey app. Other than the rather alarming check-in confusion late at night with no human contact or back-up check-in support, the stay was just fine. The room was quiet, comfortable and well maintained. But on leaving the next morning, we had to track down someone in the attached restaurant to confirm that we couldn't lock either of the room doors on departure, and had to drop our room key cards into an unsecured box. So anybody could have just walked into our room after we'd left, and by default we might be held responsible for any damage they did? Not reassuring! Re-think the room access and security issues to be a bit more user-friendly, and I'll be happy to visit again.

Just don't

The place smelled disgusting. Just walking in the front door, it smelled like urine and mildew. My room smelled so mildewy I had to sleep with the window open. It was obvious by the ceiling dust on the toilet paper holder and shampoo bottles, that the room hadn't been used in a while. The whole place needs to have the carpets removed and have a serious overhaul. So, so bad.

The staff was super friendly. I forgot my phone charger and was hoping to plug in a USB cord, but there wasn't an option for that. The room is dated, floor was uneven in spots. The shower was INCREDIBLE!! Overall, my stay was pleasant.

We were traveling to Vermont for the first time for a girl's trip and to the Vermont Country Store and to celebrate a birthday. Found this hotel at Magic Mountain and by the looks of the pictures online as well as the distance to the store, decided on this venue for the first part of our trip. Couldn't wait to leave and did so first thing the next morning. The rooms are very old and don't smell good. Bathroom and shower were dirty, rug was so dirty in the room that my socks were gross from walking on them. There was no refrigerator, no microwave. Heating was antique and pipes pounded ALL night long, were didn't get much sleep. There was so much snow and solid ice between our car and the door that it was dangerous to even walk. Our door didn't lock, hotel staff had to show us how to lift the door up from the floor to get it to even close. We were told restaurant and bar opened at 5. We went down about 5:30 or so, sat at a table, and were asked to leave because we didn't have a reservation. Mind you, only two tables were occupied! No one told us we needed reservations. So we went to put our name on the list and there was an hour and a half wait! We left without dinner. This property is certainly not a $300 per night stay, it is way over priced and way over rated. I would not recommend at all. At 7am, we were packed back up and got out of there.
