Very clean & comfortable: new foam queen bed, new slider screen windows, AC worked well. Nice couple running the place who interacted as required with guests. Up-to-date curtains and bedding. Lots of parking. Modest and affordable.

Modest, affordable

It is a modest roadside motel. The manager was very friendly. We stayed one night as a family. TV, fridge, microwave were all functional. Carpets recently replaced. It was a nice affordable stay.

We walked in the room, the overpowering smell of must and mildew was overpowering. We looked around, and left. I was fine loosing the $100.00 plus dollars I paid. Pay a little more and go somewhere else.

You get what you pay for. The motel is perfect as a place to crash after skiing, but don’t expect a five star resort. We left happy after our stay here, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who’s skiing on a budget. The only thing I’d note is that there was no lock on the bathroom door in our room, which was unexpected but not a big deal. P.S. As of when I booked, google claims there’s a hot tub here for some reason. Expedia doesn’t, but if you came here from google’s page just be aware that google’s got it wrong.

Overall, it was a place to sleep near Thornbury & Clarksburg. Nothing more. Bed was firm foam - good. Shower: water was hot & plentiful. Parking was plentiful - but snow was not plowed or shoveled, very slippery underfoot, & sidewalks not swept (so you tracked snow into your room). Fridge needed defrosting & no ice cube trays. Nothing but 2 flimsy plastic cups - nothing I could use to heat water in the microwave. No ice bucket. No local info about taxis etc. - except in the office which doesn't open until about 11:00. Manager displayed attitude about asking for receipt on checkout.

The rooms were clean and the location was walking distance to attractions in Thornberry. Renovations are being made to update the rooms which are somewhat dated but totally adequate.
