The Fairfield Lodge — Hotel in Hamiltonban Township

The first thing that hit me was that when we walked in, there was an overwhelming smell of something resembling a urinal cake or the cleaning substance used in highway rest stops. We guessed they just cleaned and that was the smell from their choice of cleaning supplies. The room was dark, partly from the walls being painted a dark color. There was no phone, so if your cell was dead and you needed to call the office, you were out of luck. ||||There was a small refrigerator, but if you were planning to use if for bringing back a doggie bag from a restaurant, it was too small to be used for anything wider than 4", so nothing that wasn't wrapped as a swan out of foil. ||||The tv instructions were hand written on a small card and missed a step. There was no guide and the only thing we could get was CNN. My son, in the next room couldn't get his tv to work at all. ||||When we turned the lights out to sleep, the parking lot light was so bright that it looked like daylight inside, despite the fact that the shade was down and the curtains were pulled together.

The mattress was extremely comfortable. The grounds were shady with picnic tables and chairs on the porch. We enjoyed the short drive each morning and evening. I would have enjoyed a shelf over the bathroom sink, and all the bathroom fixtures were in one room as it is a vintage experience. I...

My wife and I stayed here because it is less than a mile away from the local ski resort, and it costs less than half the price of a room at said ski resort. We were happy with our stay, but realized the hotel lacked certain amenities to offset such good prices. The walls are paper-thin here, so your night will depend on your neighbors. We got lucky and had neighbors who also went to bed early, presumably to ski the next morning like us. The owners are lovely. We're glad they provide such an affordable...
