Staying at the Beaver "Stone Cottage" (a 3 min drive away from the main hotel) has been my worst experience at a hotel yet. The walls are paper thin, and when people slam or close their room door, you hear as if you are in the same room. My neighbors decided to stay up late into the night, far after 1am, and I heard every laugh and comment, every door closing, despite putting in ear buds. In addition, there was not a strong enough signal on the internet, that was supposed to be available, so I could never connect to the internet, as it was non existent. When I talked to the front desk, the clerk was unhelpful and wouldn't offer a complimentary breakfast or discount on any fututre stays. I was surprised at her callousness towards my night, which didn't help at all. There should be a warning on the website that if you expect to get a good nights rest, the customer will not receive one. I'm sure in the main hotel, my experience would have been quite different. In my opinion, this "hotel' was more akin to the lowest quality "motel" you could seek to stay at. I never complain, so this review shows how bad this stay was.

This is my 2nd time staying here. I love it. Although last night while I was sleeping I heard some noise coming from the floor where I had my bag. I remember I had a closed bag of chips. I heard lots of noise coming from my bag bookbag. And when I woke up. I see the new bag of chips had a whole where a rodent tried to get into the bag. A little disappointed.

Staff wasn’t too friendly or helpful. The room was very small and outdated. The tvs are old and the bathrooms are terrible. The tub was dirty and the water came out brown and very very tiny. Expected a little more considering it was a nice area and nice scenery but I’ve been to motels better than this.

The room was fine. Check-in was a tad confusing because I thought I booked the Overlook Lodge and instead booked the stone cottages which are a part of it. You check in at the main inn. All of this was in notes in the email, but not straightforward to me. - There were lots of quirks that made it less than ideal. The room was barely heated. When I called the front desk to find out how to turn it up, they said that it was centrally located for the building. They did offer to turn it up. - There is an emergency door located in the room which has a keypad on the outside. It wasn’t a problem, but I did inquire if anyone could use it to get in. They said only management. There is also an emergency sign with a light that illuminates the room at night. - The bathroom door swings in (because of access to the emergency door) resulting in limited access to the sink. You either have to shut the door and squeeze between the door and sink to use it or reach over the toilet to access it. The tub does not drain quickly and space is restricted here as well. The hot water in the shower is very strong. And the bed was comfortable. A log is provided if you want to use the cottage community fireplace.

Yes, lovely staff. The 1915 was great. We especially appreciated the write up on Jackie Robinson -- Had no idea of all that history! Lovely cottage room on the river. Cozy fireplace. Very romantic.

The check in was very confusing. Our email said to go to 55 Hesien Road to check in, but when we got there we actually had to go to the main inn.Why couldn’t there be someone at the Overlook to check us in? How expensive could that be?)And even at the main inn, I was a little unclear which door to go in for check in. It was late, I was tired. The staff (guy at the desk at the inn) was super helpful and friendly though. So that was excellent. The shower in our room was not hot. Luke warm at best. I’d say uncomfortably cool. We were next to a room with kids. The walls were thin (or maybe because we had an adjoining room) but they woke us up early just by being kids. The room was clean though. And beds were comfortable. I didn’t think I was rating the whole stay when I gave two stars. I thought I was rating the check in experience. Overall experience would be 4 stars.

Originally, we were in the Lodge. We were told that it was a 10-15 minute walk from the Inn which is the main building not only for rooms but the restaurant and lounge area. What they failed to say was that the walk between the Inn and the Lodge is not only up-and-down hilly but takes around 15-20 minutes to walk. There is a car service of which we availed ourselves. We also switched into the Inn the next day when a beautiful room opened up. It had two rooms — a living room with a sofa and lounge chairs, a gigantic TV screen on the wall and a hutch with a refrigerator. The bedroom had two double beds and an entry to the bathroom. We were more than satisfied! This “little apartment” made our stay! Ruth Dunner

The cabin was a half a mile away from the lodge no amenities the room was so small that you could barely walk three steps. The bathroom was so small the door almost hit you when you’re using the toilet.
