The pool temp was too cold to enjoy. The hot tub was not working. The pool is also really really small.

Older facility. No food on site. I think I will try to get a place next. It is very close to the mountain. Staff was friendly.

Great location. Close to everything. Parking is very easy. Seconds from Town Square and minutes from the mountain. Very nice and cozy room. However, could have been cleaner. It was clean enough, but some smaller things were overlooked. We had to do some minor cleaning of our own, but nothing too crazy.
The staff were excellent. We had to check in very late and Pat waited up for us! She greeted us with a smile at midnight and was great at check in. This was and is greatly appreciated!
My kids absolutely loved the pool. Great stay overall. We would definitely return.

Please reconsider this place it is so out dated the stove worked but kept falling apart.The staff was wonderful but didn't offer any solutions in fact when I asked for a late check out and was told no and when we went out to bring our big bags they locked us out,It was 11:05 really.This place shouldn't be on Hotels,com its a condo.No housekeeping.Plumbing problems and dirty pool.Please do yourself a favor go some place else.

Good but not great.
We had a great time and the kids loved being in a big hotel room. The place was ok, needs updated and the pool/jacuzzi was not very clean. The location was perfect, beautiful views and places close by to walk around, overall we enjoyed our stay.

Great location for a ski weekend at any of the 93-N mountains of NH. Waterville, Loon and Cannon all nearby and easy to get to. Property was in great shape. Modern rooms, clean and comfortable.
Only issue was the pull out couch still had some debris inside, some found MnM's and Doritio dust on the sheets. Other than that, room was in great shape. Chairs in the living room could use an update.

Nice family location
Great staff and amenities, great location with lots to do. My room was a bit outdated, but friends staying in other rooms were more updated so seems like they are in the process of changing things over. Great (but small) indoor/outdoor pool- fun!

Enjoyable stay with family after rough start.
Upon arrival, we were told we did not have a reservation and that there were no rooms available. We were a family of five arriving at 10PM at night. After further investigation, it was discovered that the email from the online booking entity was missed and never opened. After one hour of checking she managed to find an available room and just had to check and make sure it had been cleaned. While the room had been cleaned by housekeeping we found several (gross) items that had been missed in the bedroom: two fake fingernails and a used q-tip. Also there were several "loose" tortilla chips on top of the refridgerator that had been missed during cleaning.

We stayed at room 505. It must be updated. It feels like a motel and shouldn’t be charge over $200 per night.
