I've stayed at Snowshoe several times, I always like Rimfire because it has nice outdoor hot tubs, a Starbucks, and it seems to be shielded from the brutal winds that sometimes blow up the face of the mountain. These studio units are tiny, but they work for two people. I wouldn't try to put more people in one, though. Most of them don't have an actual bed, but a "murphy" bed, the ones that fold out from the wall. The "deluxe" units usually have a gas fireplace, which is nice, but if you turn it on you also have to run on the air conditioning. The units are small enough that the fireplace will heat them up to 100 degrees in a matter of minutes. We ended up in unit #144 this time, which was pretty typical of other Rimfire units, except it is located directly across from the elevator. It wasn't crowded this time of year, but I could see this unit being incredibly noisy during peak season.
The studio was fine. But it was small and worn. When we had the pullout couch in use there was hardly enough from to walk around the room with our suitcases / ski gear. At over $200 a night I was hoping for better than this. The resort in general is in a nice location but looks like it is ready to be spruced up.
The convenience of this location is top notch. Steps to ski slopes and steps to all shops in the village. Check in was strange because we did not know you must go to Mountain Top Check In, which was well past our hotel. They also don't tell you a lot at check in... Like how to check out. There is little to no internet available at the resort. No cell phone service unless you're on AT&T. So this makes it like a real retreat! Room was a little cramped but the cozy fireplace made everything better. Wonderful. Would do it the same way next time!
comfortable and convenient, if visit it later, will pick that hotel again. and like to recommend to friends.
