"Better than expected. Well equipped room, comfortable bedding, clean, spacious. I was just passing through but if I would have had occasion to stay longer I would have."
"I've been looking forward to staying at Talta during ski season but the experience was rather disappointed. The location is great, front desk staff was friendly, and room is clean and updated. However, the walls are paper thin (we stayed at one end unit on the top floor of the building), and we had to hear non-stop dog barking from 7pm-10pm, then someone watching TV during sleep time. It was a nightmare stay for a needed good sleep. People camp at the outdoor hot tub, so it's almost impossible to get in unless you keep monitoring it by wasting your night. I messaged the number they provided for noise, but no response. There's no service outside of business hours. "
The Lodge at Spruce Peak, a Destination by Hyatt Residence
6/10 Okay
"The Lodge is very convenient for skiing, located at the base of the mountains next to the lifts. I stayed there in mid-March during many schools' spring break, and the hotel was very busy with lots of families. All of the staff that I met were friendly and helpful. I dined twice at the two restaurants on site: Alpine Hall and Tipsy Trout. Service quality was mixed. One night at Alpine Hall was professional, the other was amateurish with a poorly trained server and an out-of-date wine list. Service at Tipsy Trout was good. Unfortunately, I got very sick after having dinner at Alpine Hall my last night at the Lodge. When I reported my illness to a hotel employee, she asked what I had eaten and said that other guests had reported getting sick. I did not hear anything further from the Lodge. "
"Fantastic location, minutes away from Mad River Glen and Sugarbush’s Mt Ellen, and a quick ride up to Sugarbush’s Lincoln Peak. Waitsfield is also a quick ride up the road.
The inn itself is a beautiful farmhouse style setup, not many frills but all the basics. Very clean and comfortable. Staff is friendly, welcoming, and helpful.
The included breakfast is a great option to fill up when you want to avoid a $12 breakfast sandwich at the Sugarbush lodge. No frills here either but you get all the basics (eggs and omelets, pancakes, oatmeal, fruit) and it’s all done well.
The bar/restaurant is a definite highlight. Great food, tons of drink options including plenty of local VT craft beers, and great atmosphere! It does get crowded, especially weekends, so highly recommend a reservation for dinner.
All in all, a wonderful place to stay. And even if you don’t stay at the inn, definitely stop by for breakfast or a meal/drinks at the restaurant. "
