great place
We stayed here several years back, at a two night restaurant/hospitality convention. It was the second year after they had re-opened after being closed for many many years.
It was mid-January, and I remember the temp. when we arrived was -11. Bone chilling.
Anyway..great, old school service. Attention to detail was unreal. There was actually an elevator attendant, in the very old (but restored) elevator...which is good. Because you would never know how to work the thing. No push buttons here...some type of old crank.
At that time, there was some real concern on their part as to whether or not the owners would ever get a return on their substancial investment. The place was really let go, and in complete disrepair when they bought it.
If you go, be sure to check out the large collection of "before" and "after" pictures in the lobby, and to take the time to read about the history of this once great hotel. It is indeed fascinating.
I enjoyed it as much as the previous year's convention, which was at the Mount Washington Resort. Found the service to be right on par with them.
Really in the middle of nowhere, but a fun place to be.
They have a 9 hole golf course, by the way.
Sue Do-Nym...thanks for bringing this memory back!
