Evidently the property was constructed in 1975. It obviously has not been updated since. There was an overwhelming, unidentifiable odor throughout the common areas and the hallways which caused us to move our room. The staff was accommodating. The headboard had at least 6 months of dust on the top and the mattress pad had a disgusting amount of hair on it. The bathtub also had hair in it. We did not utilize the in-house restaurant due to the overpowering odor in the building.

Unfortunately, there seemed to be a kids sports tournament in the area when I was there and many of the families stayed at the Snowy Owl Inn. I like kids, bit I felt like my room was attached to a kid's birthday party. Kids were constantly running up and down the hallways playing tag. Fun for them but not for me. I'd suggest if you intend to stay here, ask if there is a sporting event going on. The venue is quaint...older but generally comfortable. There usually was nobody at the front desk. The continental breakfast was good. The shuttle to the ski lifts took about 10 minutes and was very handy.

Team trip

Location is great, convenient to rink and food options. Hotel is dated, like stepping into the 70s. Staff friendly and accommodating. Still uses keys on the door. Breakfast were mini bagels, small pastries and waffle maker, no real hot breakfast. Diner around the corner had better options. Beds comfortable, though heating system could be noisy if you are sleeping next to it. Pillows comfortable. Overall, you stay there for the location.

This property is old. 1970’s with no renovations. The roof needs replaced on the entire property as there are signs of leaks everywhere. Felt very dusty! Workers/owners very nice and efficient. Breakfast food was fine.
