Nice place but too small for a family with kids. Expect a simple motel style stay. Very bare bones. If you’re looking for amenities, you won’t find any here. Pros: newly renovated, very close to Sugarbush mountain, very clean, cozy lodge with board games and fireplace, inexpensive compared to other lodgings in the area, helpful staff, equipment lockers, shuttle to the mountain. Cons: tiny rooms, nearly zero amenities on site (resort fee charged daily for a rec centre), no food or restaurant in the lodge (tiny bar that is open thurs-sat). Walls are paper thin, can hear everything from the hall or next door. Make sure to ask for a room upstairs facing the back. We woke up several times to banging from upstairs neighbours. Lower rooms have one small window and if they face the front then there is hardly any privacy. Heaters make tons of noise at night and are hard to adjust temperature. The room is too small for a family of 4. There’s no closet for storage. Make sure you’re very organized with your bags etc. if you want to move around in the room comfortably. There is a tiny fridge that may fit a few cans of soda. There is no table, it was difficult to bring simple groceries to eat in the room, which was necessary because during the week restaurants have odd hours and most aren’t open until Thursday. It was an okay stay overall, definitely doable, and nice rooms for no more than 2 people. I would come back, but...
Read moreMisleading Sugarbush lodging, far from mountain, renovated but small rooms, few amenities.
location: 4 minute drive to mountain, shuttle is not convenient. this name is misleading as it is a sugarbush property but it is not actually a part of the mountain village or anywhere near the mountain. still have to look for parking, etc and the shuttle is not at all convenient.
room: renovated, chic decor, the tiniest, tiniest fridge i've ever seen in my life ( about a 12" x 12"), no microwave, and the room is on the smaller side. very difficult to maneuver with suitcases and ski clothes. i was traveling with myself and two small children.
hotel: the common area is small but nice- with fireplace and keurig coffee maker ( served with non-fresh ), games, etc. spent most of our time here as the room was suffocatingly small.
Fitness center: includes passes to offsite fitness center with pool. this was a good perk but beware the facilities are run down.
overall: i'm not sure that the value is in this hotel, i probably would not stay again. i paid approx...
Read moreWe had the entire hotel booked for our group ski trip. Because there is not much nightlife at Sugarbush, we had been promised that the Black Sheep Bar at the hotel would be open for us on Friday -up until 10pm and maybe later and also Saturday night. The hotel knew we were arriving closer to 10pm. At 9:30pm when we arrived, the bar was closed. They made a staffing excuse and promised it would be open tomorrow. OK we thought.....until Saturday when they suddenly told us they were refusing to open the bar again with the same flimsy excuse! The hotel nightlife was a big part of our trip and the dishonesty/inability to deliver is something everyone should be aware when considering this option, and avoid if that is important to you. Rooms were Instagram nice but very small, noise carried. Decent location and the breakfast bar was very good. A real mixed experience....but them leaving us high and dry not once but twice is what...
