Only ok

The room was small. Bed was comfortable, climate control was good, bathroom was older and loved the wainscoting but not the mold on the shower wall. The green main carpet in the room was kind of creepy but the problem was the red rug on top had a huge wrinkle that could not be smoothed down/straightened out and I almost killed myself tripping over it on my way to the bathroom during the night. Should be removed altogether as it is a tripping hazard. The common area had a great coffee machine and access to a microwave, but no ice, and it was almost 90 degrees I needed a cold drink. An unnecessary text message at 9:14AM reminded me checkout was at 11AM, but I was trying to sleep until 9:30AM bc I had a long drive that day. Actually pretty impossible to sleep bc of all the door slamming and yelling in the morning by people who were checking out early. Never did meet anyone who actually worked there, this hotel was fully on autopilot. There were no food options anywhere nearby.

Everything is digital no keys to worry about.

While i met no staff (check-in was automated), the system worked well and I was able to access my room easily. It's a simple stay, but the room was clean, bed was very comfortable and updated (well beyond what you'd expect for a trekking spot) and location is excellent for hiking.

Expedia (or the property) misrepresented the distance from Manchester, stating it's 16.2 miles when it was actually 33 miles, many of which are winding mountain roads and even a stretch of gravel road. The overall property felt very tired. The absence of any staff is disconcerting. Fortunately, there were other guests.

When I arrived, I was extremely disappointed that the pool, as advertised, was a gross green color. The hallways were musty-smelling. I would not recommend this property to anyone.

Quiet hotel, easy check in. Was disappointed that pool was not in working condition, should be explained at the website. Common areas inside are spacious and inviting to relax, read a book.

I think this place would have been fine if I didn't have higher expectations. Never saw any staff, check in and out was over the phone. That was weird. Pool was green. No breakfast options except tea and coffee. Only 2 towels for a three person reservation. Room was very small (and no fire place) Looks like a nice place in the winter when there are staff around.

It was ok for the price. I could hear the people walking around above me but that stopped by bedtime. The room didn’t have a refrigerator so I went to the community refrigerator but it was tiny. There were no towels in the bathroom but an automated text directed me where to find them in the hall. The volume on the tv wouldn’t go beyond 14 so it was difficult to hear, especially with the air conditioner on. The pool was not functioning and I had left my activity early so I could go for a swim. The shower was pretty good and the bed was comfortable.
This was the condition of the pool.

Great potential, pool closed, parital refund?

The rooms were compact, but appeared to be newly remolded. Bathroom small, but nicely done and clean. Lots of common space for groups to hang out, indoors and out. Easy, contactless check in. Be sure to read the ammenities. No refrigerator or microwave in room. We finally found a small fridge in a common space, but there wasn't any room for our food as others had their food in there. My biggest issue was that we drove out of our way to have a hotel with a pool. Their webpage highlights a beautiful outdoor pool-- perfect for the 90 degree weekend. When we arrived, a small sign on the registration desk said that the pool was closed. By the looks of the water, it had been closed for more than a day or two, plenty of time for the hotel to notify their guests. There should be a discount when a significant ammenty is unavailable as this was the only reason we booked this hotel with our kids. Outside of the hotel is shabby and common spaces are dated, but nice.

Value based stay.

The stay was fine as it was a value based decision. The room was nice, clean and bathroom was good. TV and Ac worked well. However, the pool was closed, and no advance notice was given. Was a main reason for choosing this location and it was a holiday weekend. So it was disappointing and the pool was green. Also, the coffee machine was also out of service. Otherwise the off-season stay was fine.
Would have chosen a different location had I known ahead of time.
Sigh.....
It's not easy being green.
