Although there were some hiccups with the heating in our unit, staff, specifically Colin, was responsive, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure that myself and my family were well taken care of. Some of the best customer service we have ever experienced, including waking up early to ensure that the ground was properly salted in winter to ensure safe passage and frequent check-ins to ensure the quality of our experience.

Very average accommodation, not worth the pricetag

Very basic property, effectively a prefab building of a motel form. Accommodation is clean, no interaction with owner/anyone of the property as the room number is text before arriving and door left unlocked. Room was cool upon entering, took a few hours to warm up. Room/bedding smelt musty throughout the stay. Definitely not worth the $ paid, but all properties in the area take advantage of the limited supply of accommodation options around Sunday River; worth at most ~$80/night...

Check in was super easy. Hotel is just out of town, so it is easy to find places to eat without traveling far. Comfortable night's sleep. You have to deal with a little road noise before falling asleep and as you awake, but nothing too bad. My only complaint was that the hot tub was not hot at all, 65 degrees.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I was sent a message saying I was in room 1 and that the door is unlocked and the key is inside. I showed up only to discover that someone else was already in the room. Strike 1. Then, I get sent to a different room and end up with the neighbors from heck on both sides of my room. They had the tv turned up so loud I could hear it through the walls. I holered to them to turn it down. They called the front desk and complained that I was yelling Strike 2. The front desk called me and threatened to kick me out. I told him why I hollered but he didn't care. So my complaint was totally dismissed. STRIKE 3 I will never stay here again and I don't recommend this terrible place to anyone. I left at 2 a.m.and will never go back.

This is a nice little motel close to Sunday River. The price is reasonable and the rooms are clean. The walls are a bit thin and you can hear what goes on in the adjacent room. Will likely stay here again mainly due to the price and location.

Would stay again.

The steps still had snow on them. The people in the next room continued to make noise well into the night. Overall, except for noisy neighbors, the stay was fine. The check in was, for us, unique and worked well. We would stay there again and hope for a quieter night.

Unique DIY Experience

The Rostay is unique for its absence of staff. We received a text explaining how to check in; the door to our room was left unlocked, and the instructions for checking out, etc. were posted on the wall. The room was well-equipped with extra linens and bedding, a coffeemaker, microwave and refrigerator. The room was furnished with a small dining table and chairs, a desk, beds, and a large area for unpacking and hanging one's clothes. The bathroom was large with a long counter, ideal for laying out one's toiletries. One of the beds was a queen, and the other was a bunk bed with a queen or double on the bottom and a single on top. Each was equipped with a swing-away overhead lamp, and they were comfortable for sleeping. However, the bunk was so low that one constantly was hitting one's head on the edge, and the bedframe flared out and was a danger for stubbed toes, especially in the middle of the night. At this time of year, breakfast is not included, but there are many very good options nearby; The Good Food Store (take-out and groceries) is right next door. The Rostay does not provide housekeeping services during one's stay. (That was fine with us.) Even though we never saw any staff, we did not feel abandoned. We knew help was only a text away, and we felt relaxed and comfortable coming and going as we pleased.
