Good value- some rooms better than others
Check in was easy- received a door code via text. We got a room for the weekend to ski. Options to bring a dog are limited so we took a gamble here vs the main hotel Red Lion for half the price. We stayed in a two bed room double. It was.. ok. The room was cute and kitschy. There was a mini fridge and a mini vintage appearing microwave. The beds were actually comfortable and bedding was overall pretty clean. (Unfortunately, when the sheet pulled up it showed evidence of stains on the mattress cover but we didn’t notice it until we were checking out :-( ) There was still crumbs on the floor and bits of other dogs food there. The bathroom was small— shower was updated but the floor wasn’t. Floor was not clean and had not been vacuumed. Overall, it was a good value for the price! It was very functional and met our needs for a ski weekend where we just needed somewhere to sleep.We had other friends that stayed in King beds and they were more updated and cleaner. All the rooms had different layouts. Some had a small dining area and others with two chairs and a coffee table. Some bathrooms were really big! There appeared to be a common area but it was not open. I’d definitely book again but get a King. Maybe the full sized rooms will get an update soon!

Eh..
Cute place. Old motel with some newer kitchy decor. Comfortable bed. Clean enough. Moldy smell and paper thin walls.

I liked the fact we didn't have to sign in at the office. That was very convenient. Also, the area was very quiet.

The retro decor was charming. Having our dog with us was wonderful. Negatives: website says "continental breakfast" - the lobby/office was not opened from when we arrived on Friday until we checked out on Sunday - no staff, no coffee and no coffee makers in the rooms. Also our microwave didn't work.

Use caution when booking
This was a "self service" property, i didn't know there was such a thing before this trip, so now I know! You get the door code via email or text shortly before the stay. There is no one on the property for quick questions, help, etc. This motel is affiliated with another similar named property just up the road, so probably owned by them. Anyway, besides the weird atmosphere of an unattended motel, the main issues we had were... the king bed had only 3 pillows, not enough, there was no extra blanket, nothing, and there was no coffee machine, which we've come to expect with the absolutely cheapest properties, especially with one like this that was out on the highway by itself, so nothing close by. We have definitely spent much less for much more in the past, and in fact, on this latest trip through New England, we got more for less. However, I would recommend caution when you are booking... we had no indication that this property was not staffed. We stayed at one other "self service" motel also, but it was somewhat better (I still would not stay there again - paid too much for too little).

Very quiet setting in a beautiful area. Room had a musty closed up smell to it but it wasn't to overpowering. Very cute little place to stay. Traveled with my friend and we definitely stay here again.
