Don't Do It - Inn of 6 Mtns /
by Leapfrogging
The website shows great pictures - and New Life Hiking Spa is part of the facility and it appears you'll have a fantastic and affordable time.
Take the words "RUN DOWN" and apply to every single apsect of your stay - including the staff (who were sparse). I should have turned right around after not being able to take a deep breath in the lobby - the entire hotel smelled like they dumped containers of carpet fresh to hide the smell or to make it appear clean. Service seemed last thought of the staff - who seemed to have walked in off the street in dirty t-shirts, jeans and bored attitudes.
I checked into a room with filth - cracked sinks, rickety dirty furniture, old / faded / dingy sheets covred lounge chairs. Windows, screens and window sills were hazy with dirt. Closet doors were broken. Filthy sheets, beadspreads & shams - even to the touch! Bathroom towels must have been at least 10 years old - dingy gray, thin, rough. My shoes stuck to the floors of the bathroom - and the toilet ran for about an hour after flushing! The last thing I wanted to do was use the toilet or walk barefoot on the carpet. Moved into a new room with same issues - plus a mattress that had a big ole dip in the middle. Looking out the window of the rooms proved disappointing as well - all kinds of tools, pipes and yellow insulation spongy stuff (that was disgusting looking as well) were strewn about. Took a shower and stepped into slime and mold.
Figured maybe I could deal with it - since most of my time would be spent outside. BUT, dinner proved a challenge I didn't want to experience another 6 days in a row. Great looking food, but absolutely COLD.
After 1 night, I turned around and came home. I'm still itching, I'm not kidding!
I'm all for casual - which this place was, but clean and professional for >$140/night (or even $75/night!!)isn't too much to ask. And, Spa? Far, far from it. Don't waste your time.
- Pros: The drive thru VT to get there
- Cons: Unfit for guests - and I'm still itching from only 1night in that shack.
