I often book the Pepper Tree when I ski at Palisades. It is clean and conveniently located. Walls are a little thin, so sometimes you can hear your neighbor if they are being loud, but generally most people are just there to sleep :)

The shower was squirting water all over the bathroom and force was very weak. I expect a hotel that charges good money for a night to take these absolutely basic things.

The room was ok. I spent new years there maybe that’s why cleaning assistance wasn’t available but besides that we had a great time. Front desk guy was really nice. Restaurants are close by, coffee place and snowboard shop across the street. You get what you pay for.
