Not The Inn It Used To Be

We were very disappointed with our stay. After staying at the Mountaineer before, we happily booked again expecting the same service and amenities as our previous stay. Unfortunately they have made changes that severely impact the guest experience. Where there was previously a full made to order breakfast, there is now a very sad selection of bagels, granola bars, hard boiled eggs, and yogurt. The coffee was bad. The jacuzzi that we were so looking forward to either no longer exists or is just not available for guest use. The staff was scarce and unapologetic. Even the room upgrades they made since our last visit were done sloppily, with crooked/upside down pictures, holes in the wall, and paint splatter. I would not recommend the Mountaineer in its current state of service. It is not worth the cost at all. I've requested a partial refund but have not heard back from management.

The room is tiny but clean. The wall is thin so we can hear people walking up and down on the stairs because our room is very close to the staircase.

Cute vibe, but room was miniature, no staff to help with faulty door keypads, salt needed on parking area, bathroom near breakfast lounge was filthy, and overall you were on your own. Location to mountain was great.

Great common areas for multi families and they were set aside so that no noise to the bedrooms. The bedrooms are miserably small but very clean.

Quick to mountain and local area restaurants; good common space to hang out in, and simple free breakfast. They ran out of cold regular drinking water, though, only hot water from the coffee machine after our first day and the other two days no cool water for the kids. Also the lock system is a bit finnicky - had to get it reset.

My wife and I actually stayed here twice over the last two weeks. The first time was ok and would have had a better rating if it was not for this week. This week we had walked into the room and it felt like it had not been cleaned or had the sheets changed. There was toothpaste on the wall in the bathtub. I found a sewing needle on the carpet that could have been stepped on. The sheets had some stains that looked like they might not have been changed and a towel also seemed to have some kind of stain on it. There was also a knocking sound that would not stop through the night that got aggrivating. We definitely will be checking out some other places to stay in the area before staying here again.

Our stay was for one night only, and we arrived at 10 PM. For what the hotel offers, it is quite expensive. Additionally, it was very loud, making it difficult to sleep. The room was also extremely cold, and we were freezing the entire night. Overall, it was not a comfortable experience.
