The room was basic which was expected for the price. The shower is extremely, extremely small. The bed was decent. Checking in is easy with door codes. But you can hear every neighbor’s sounds. And if someone is in the hallway or below your room, it honestly sounds like they’re in your room. It is not muffled. I also had the room directly above the band. To say the place is “not quiet” and that earplugs are provided if the noise exceeds your preference is a complete understatement. It is like there is a concert is in your room, everything is vibrating and my own noise cancelling headphones did not make a difference. If you’re joining in the fun, it could be fine. But I arrived after the band started, could not find parking anywhere in the town for a half hour. When I walked inside, the restaurant was so packed and there were about 30 people just in line for a drink. Amazing for the business, but long lines deterred me from joining in. I didn’t check the band calendar ahead of time and would recommend it. I guess I imagined chill live music where I could grab some beer and chill out. Something I would typically see at a brewery. But it was more like a small legit concert with lots of dancing. Again, amazing for the business, but definitely not for a traveler that wants to sleep or have a place to relax.

Good Stay

The location was great, just 15 minutes from Mount Snow and it’s right in Wilmington so close to shops and restaurants. The room was basic but clean, we had the family room with two single beds and one queen. The single beds seemed comfortable but the queen bed was VERY firm. Also, the room was directly above the stage. And the music performance on Saturday went until 11pm instead of 10 as advertised. The music was really loud, so I would not recommend this for a family with young kids or people who want to go to bed early. It was the cheapest place we could find though, so I would still stay again.

VCA solo stay

The room was just as expected, basic, clean and comfortable for a solo stay. The noise level SAT night was quite loud due to the band performing downstairs. A TV in the room would be great for relaxing during down times. WiFi was good and bathroom was exceptionally clean and even had toiletries. Only thing lacking was a spare roll of bath tissue.

Great local spot!

Room was nice and clean, hot water was HOT, nice views of the creek, town right around the corner and 15 mins to Mount Snow. We had a great time. The pizza and bar/beer beneath the rooms was great. I was impressed with their beer. The staff were super friendly. The rooms are small(older historic building which was very nice) and have no tv/fridge/microwave so just keep that in mind if you need those things. The noise complaints on some reviews seem irrational. It’s an older building and above a bar/band scene some nights. Not sure what they expect. We had a great stay and will be returning!

Housed in a former riverside mill, the rooms are basic, simple no frills rooms. The bathroom was fine (shower stall), heat excellent, but walls are very thin. Fortunately it was a quiet weekday nite for me, so the few customers went to bed early, and there was no band downstairs in the restaurant/bar. There is no front desk, you enter with door codes which worked fine. The low price was most attractive for me, and I was skiing at Mt Snow the next day. On a full weekend, parking may be kind of far from the entrance which could be a pain.

Great for the price

This is a great location if you want to be near Mount Snow. The room and bathroom are clean, the pizza and drinks downstairs are good, and it’s great place for the price. It is quite loud until the live music stops on the weekends, but they are very upfront about that.

Our third time staying here. It’s a fair room with all you need but no luxuries. Close to Mt Snow (20min) and restaurants (walking). The staff is responsive via text but there’s no traditional front desk. Downside is the noise from other rooms or downstairs (pizza place/bar) when they have an event or something. As an improvement, it’d be great to have a fridge upstairs for guests.

Not interested in visiting again

Old building. Rooms are on the second floor above a noisy restaurant with live bands playing very loud music. If you are in your 20s this might be a good place for you and/or if you like noisy places. The furniture is old and uncomfortable. Pictures don't depict reality. Too expensive for the value.

So Much Character and Charm!

This place was full of character and charm. And for the price, you can't beat it! It's located in an old mill and all the rooms are above a restaurant. As such, it does get noisy in the rooms. With that said, it's quiet by 9pm, and since they don't serve breakfast in the restaurant, it's quiet until the afternoon. There's no tv in the rooms, which we loved! We would absolutely stay here again and again and again!

Restful enough

It was an old building and they had a sign about it which was helpful. I was alone and I don't make much noise but other people do! It was close to very good restaurants and a dispensary which was not expected. The hotel is non-smoking!

A little get away

If you want a rustic no frills place to stay, then this is a good place to go. It was an unusual experience, but not in a bad way. There’s no real check in, but the communication from the information to get into your room felt welcoming and easy to understand. The room was clean but rustic and there’s no TV which didn’t bother us but could be a difference for someone. The room was a little small but cozy. We were in the side of the river which was a bonus.
