The room was clean and cozy. We stayed in the family room which had a king bed and two queens in a separate room. It was great for 4 people. The exterior is a little worn down, especially the stairs which need a repair so caution is advised and I hope the hotel can get them fixed before the next snow season.

Our room was spacious and enough for our family of five, the problem was that the bathroom was really small , the amenities in the room were not well maintained, the heating system was very noisy and not comfortable at all. Not at good experience this time compared to our first time in this Hotel the previous year.
