The room was clean. The property was centrally located and very affordable. I stayed during the off-season and the entire place to myself. The hotel offers beautiful views of Winnisquam Lake. It was great to watch the sunrise over the mountains in the morning.

whole facility is neglected and only fills rooms because it is across the road from a lake in a popular resort area. The road is a very busy state route and noisy. The room had no closet/hanging place, no chair, no glass or cup for drinking. The towels were skimpy and everthing felt dirty and old. I will never return and will advise anyone I know to avoid this property.was so disgusted, I claimed illness and left a day early barely stopping to inform whoever was on duty that I felt sick and had to leave.I didn't asky for a refund knowing it wouldn't happen anyway. I just wanted to get out of there!

I had to go buy towels and a hair dryer. The towels provide were not acceptable. Small and dingy. No hair dryer provided and had to go ask for toilet paper since was only given bare a half of a roll for two nights. The breakfast provided was just ok. The place had a beautiful view and was close to where we needed to be.

The room smelled like a smoker had occupied it prior, staff was attentive and came and sprayed Odor eliminator which helped. Breakfast was very sparse, limited cups and food selection, waffle maker did not work reliably. Staff tried to assist but the place was just very run down.

I walked into my room and it smelled like the bedding and carpet had not ever been cleaned. Carpets in the hallway are dirty and stained. The room I stayed in looked NOTHING like the photo online. There were holes in the wall where wall hanging units had been removed (or torn?) out? I got there around 8pm and had a hard time locating a staff member to check in. Said staff member disappeared after I was checked in again.

We arrived for one night. The room we were given was not clean. We were immediately changed, with many apologies, to a larger and more spacious room.Overall it was nice, the room we got was very large, with a fully equipped kitchen with a refrigerator, a few dishes. The maintenance is not good, the taps were leaking all night. But, and this is a big but! The view was worth it all. We saw the sunset, the sunrise over the lake and it was amazing and spectacular!
