This motel is very well kept, clean etc. Staff was very helpful, had to leave a day early no problem. Bed was very comfortable, updated tv, refrig and microwave. This is the only motel for many miles. Breakfast area was small but food was good. The standard fare for Quality Inns.

My granddaughter had stayed here several years ago for ski trips and thought it was great. Earlier this winter I read some negative comments on Trip Advisor and almost did not book again, but we are so glad we did. The location could not be better for skiing Mountain Creek. Parking is in a heated underground garage with elevator service... More

We stayed for 3 days starting on Presidents day 2013. We rented directly from an owner for much less than what the hotel would have charged. We did not have internet or TV service which according to the hotel was a problem unrelated to them. We rented a 2nd floor 1 bedroom condo with a mini kitchenette. Our unit was... More

My husband and I stayed at the Appalachian for the Presdients weekend. We had a great experience. The hotel looked brand new. It was very clean, cozy and comfortable. The entire staff was very friendly and always willing to go out their way to assist.

We went for one night with our son and another couple. We loved how the hotel was at the base of the mountain! We had a great view of the slope from both rooms. The fireplaces in the rooms were so cozy and helpful. The rooms seemed so big but that can just be because we came from nyc :)... More

First of all, there is no restaurant (however, the lodge is next door, but no room service). Parents allow their kids to run amok through the hallways at all hours. The channel selection is pathetic, and if the hotel is busy, internet is nearly non-existent. But if you like to ski on ice 45 minutes from NYC, it's great.

Very good location for Skiing Right at the base of the mountain. Our room had a full kitchen so we ate all our meals there. Be aware There are limited dining options if you're... More

My husband had an overnight visit at the Mountain Creek resort. We arrived late and were very tired and hungry. We were told upon arriving that all the resort restaurants were booked, so we would have to eat off the resort. No one ever mentioned having to book reservations ahead of time for the restaurants. Keep in mind this is... More

We stayed here for one night in October 2012. The hotel grounds are very nice, and our room was quite large. Our room was even ready by 10 am! We were on the first floor, and had a separate bedroom area, even though there were no doors separating it from the main room. The switch-controlled fireplace was a nice touch.... More
