Not Hot Tub for Skiers but Okay Spot!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 4/10/10
Booked for 7 nights through Choice Hotels, checked on amenities by phone twice regarding room and the hot tub, since we ski hard and enjoy relaxing in a hot tub outdoors (preferred). Was told hot tub was working. Upon arrival we checked it our and yes, it bubbled, however water was cool. After 1st day skiing we stripped (brrr) to swimming suits, paddled across the road and after starting the tub for 15 minutes, by 30 minutes, the water probably got to 65-70 degrees. Not hot enough to jump in! We were disappointed and notified mgmt and Choice Hotels.
The room was fine and clean, made up every day by thoughtful staff. Found the kitchenette very useful even though the microwave blew on first night -- replaced. Beds small but okay. Rate with discount excellent. Plow out after foot of snow good. Gratis breakfast supplies good, need a fruit choice, as orange and apple juice machine produced watery drinks. Staff friendly and helpful. Shuttle bus to ski area lifts on corner near motel. Quiet, with good sleeping conditions. Would return IF hot tub was hot and working as advertised/ stated by mgmt. We heard other patries complaining about wanting the hot tub.
We left after 4 nights to another location WITH a hot tub/heated pool and thoroughly enjoyed the last days of vacation (from NY).
