Inn At Holiday Valley

Dated hotel in need of a revamp but you can’t beat the ski-​in ski-​out option down the Sunrise hill. This place is on par with Days Inn quality. Passable complimentary continental breakfast… hard beds… scratchy sheets… so don’t expect luxury. It is a bed with a door that locks in a ski town. Period. Bonus that you can buy lift tickets at the front desk. Next time I think I will stay up a hill a bit at the Holiday Valley Lodge or Tamarack.

Pool only review: fantastic! Went down for the musicfest, laid poolside mat of two days and everything was great. The pool itself, staff and food.

The Inn at Holiday Valley’s room provided a comfortable repite after a day of skiing. The gas fireplace made for a warm and toasty atmosphere. The convenience of skiing right up to our door cannot be overlooked and their close-​in lockers to store equipment overnight was certainly appreciated.
The free breakfast needs some work but offered something each person enjoyed.
The staff was wonderful at their jobs and repeatedly made sure we were all enjoying our stay. We would happily return for another ski trip.

I had a rather unpleasant experience here. After driving all day we arrived just before midnight. We called about an hour before arriving to make sure it was okay that we were arriving so late. Jack was working the front desk and said there was no reservation under our name and was extremely rude and started raising his voice when we became confused, since my friends credit card was already charged. After going back and forth with him and getting nowhere, we decided to just hang up and deal with it when we got there. When we arrived, he wasn’t as rude since it was a face-​to-​face but was pretty useless.
He asked if it could have been under a different first name with the same last name. He said «Well it’s cancelled reservation from 3 years ago, but I wasn’t sure». (Right, because we showed up three years late for a cancelled reservation. That makes sense.) He then told us that they had a room they could put us in but that they were full the next night so we’d have to move and might not get a room. He also wouldn’t answer about whether we would have to pay more since the room he had was nicer than the one we booked. He danced around the topic and we didn’t bother fighting it, hoping to get someone with a higher IQ and a more professional attitude in the morning.
We finally got into our room and were getting ourselves unpacked when the phone rang. He found our room. They had misspelled the last name. Seriously?
So we packed up all of our stuff and moved to the room we had all along. We walked in and room smelled strongly of smoke, which one of my friends is allergic to. It had been such a long day and we were so tired that it wasn’t worth going back to Jack to deal with.
The room wasn’t great either. The beds weren’t very comfortable, there were tons of bugs and spiders in the bathroom, and the iron/​ironing board situation was a nightmare. The board was unusable and the iron sprayed rust on our clothes for the wedding. Lovely.
In the end, they did take some money of our bill for the trouble, but I definitely wouldn’t stay there again.
The only reason I don’t give this place one star is because the wedding reception was up the hill at the lodge associated with the Inn and the staff there was wonderful. They were attentive, genuinely friendly, and overall just plain great at their jobs.
So in the end, I recommend having your wedding at the lodge… just stay somewhere else for the night.

The hotel was in a beautiful location and was very cute but had several flaws that made it far from worth its price. To start everything seemed great (we were there to celebrate a wedding weekend so we actually didn’t spend a TON of time in the room.) When we came back the first night everything seemed just fine, basic but good. In the morning we tried taking showers and the shower curtain only extended ¾ of the way across the tub, making it freezing! This is something I could get over but we went down for breakfast… all carbs. Not to sound like a pain but if you’re paying over 200 $ a night the breakfast shouldn’t only consist of stale bagels, muffins, toast and waffles. Oh and I would hate to forget the cold hard boiled eggs as the only source of protein. Moving forward we were gone for a majority of the day sight-​seeing and all of the evening for the wedding (coming back at 12:30pm). Being that our room was right next to an exit door on the 2^nd floor and the ice machine, for some reason on this evening there was excessive traffic throughout the rest of the night and the morning and a Constant annoying murmur from the machine. I woke up with a headache from the noise throughout the night and tried my best to be out as soon as possible to get away from it… and definitely skipped breakfast this time around. If you don’t mind spending more than something is worth, go for it, otherwise try to stay somewhere else if you can.

While I admit I haven’t stayed at a lot of ski resorts, we splurged on a discounted rate and decided to spend a weekend here. The place is absolutely fantastic!
The rooms are a bit dated (a few years, nothing too bad) but all the fixtures work fine, they have ski lockers to stash your gear right at each room. There is also great views of the mountain which make it pretty nice at night to sit and watch. The rooms are also huge! Could fit 4 – 6 easy if you wanted to squeeze ‘em in for a ski weekend.
We got in on the 2-​ski-​free package, and paid ~$ 300 for 2 people for 2 nights, with 48 hour lift tickets (good 4:30 friday to 4:30 Sunday). That was plenty of time for us to get a lot of skiing in at HV at a great price (lift tix alone would have been ~$ 200 otherwise).
The staff and service was excellent, and hey, they even throw in a free (all be it meager) continental breakfast!
