Comfy stay in the mountains
Pros:

We got a decent rate for a not quite, but close to last minute stay for fall leaf peeping. They take pets which is hard to find. Parking directly in front of room is very convenient for walking pets and bringing in luggage. There is also an interior hallway door to access the rest of the hotel. Room was spacious with a refrigerator and microwave. It was very clean. Beds were comfortable. They have a restaurant and bar we didn't use. A basket with breakfast sandwiches or pancakes was left out in the morning in the restaurants. Coffee, cider and tea were available. For winter travelers, it's right next to Magic Mountain Ski Resort. Practically ski in/ ski out. I would definitely stay here again.

Cons:

Mostly good - breakfast was room temp to cold. I suppose you could take it back to your room and microwave it if you wanted to. No hot water left for coffee or tea when we went down. Thermos should be watched to refill. We were told the small gift shop is being permanently closed. All else was very good.

If you want a place to just flop down after a day of skiing at Magic, you would probably be happy, but it definitely has
Pros:

It was convenient to stay in Londonderry. The food at the restaurant was good and well-priced

Cons:

The property is in serious need of repair. The stairs were steep and narrow. In the outside the building is old and dingy. The common area inside was nice, however our room was less than desirable. Mattress was thrown on a frame and was hard. Room was warm - no AC and the heat control didn’t seem to provide a comfortable temp. Tried to open the window. Literally falling off and full of bugs and cobwebs. Serious water heater issues. Shower was hot and then cold each time it was used. In addition, we tried to fill the hot tub, but could not get enough hot water to do so. That was probably best as when we turned on the jets, pieces of hair came out. The room is bare bones. Only one nightstand and not even a chair in the place. Not exactly what we hoped for for a romantic leaf-peeping getaway.

Comfortable motel with good value
Pros:

The room was a bit larger than we expected and had a microwave and small refrigerator. The beds and pillows were comfortable and the room heating unit worked well. The receptionist, Dennis, was very friendly. The connected restaurant was nice, although we wish it would serve breakfast as well as dinner. Room was very reasonably priced for the area and time of year (leaf-peeping season).

Cons:

Noise from the room upstairs was annoying - we could easily hear people walking back and forth. Fortunately, road noise was minimal, since the motel is well away from any busy road.
