Parking was easy. Ice machine was not operational, bathroom was a little dirty. TV and mini fridge both worked. Just a bit too far from the Heavenly gondola to walk with snowboards though.

Its four stars not five due to this being a cheap motel. I did not know until I arrived that I needed to obtain the key from the front desk of the motel next door. The room was clean and functional, but nothing to write home about. It served my purpose well, which was to get in and out of South Shore in one night.

Check in is extremely difficult as there is no staff at the front desk. Once someone was available they were extremely rude. Inside of the room there was food left in the refrigerator and a sharp pointed screwdriver on the floor and the heater did not work. I was given another room after bringing this to their attention. When I showed the items I found in the room, I was asked why I brought it to them and told he “did not want them” 🙄
