Mount Sunapee 2 Stars Hotels

"The moment you drive up to the hotel with the fun wood paneled porte-cochère and you walk into the wonderfully scented lobby (they must infuse a special "welcoming hotel" scent!), you just feel great about your choice of stay. There was a sweet young man helping us check in at 4 pm, and on a weekend you can expect lots of boisterous kids and their parents looking for a break and maybe not watching their kids so closely (pool and play room are supposed to close at 9, but two dads and a boy were playing ping pong (loudly yelling) until around 10:30 (if this will bother you try to request a room that isn't near the rec room). Everything was super clean, well appointed (modern shiny fixtures in the bathroom), although the water didn't get as hot as I like (I like very very hot showers). The nicest part is that the Mt. Sunapee shuttle bus picks up most days at 7:30, 8:30, and 9:30! Which is nice if you stress about parking (as I do)."

"Fantastic!"
