“Perfect if you just want somewhere to crash”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 January 2012

people found this review helpful

Came with about 10 friends, all in our mid 20s for New Years and stayed for two nights. It was just what we needed - no frills, cheap, and clean. If you are looking for a 5 star hotel this is not your place, but if you are with a few friends (or a girlfriend/wife who not the complaining type...if those even exist) and simply need a cheap (or at least cheap relative to all other stratton accomodations), clean place to get some rest after a long day of skiing and long night of drinking, then this is the right place for you.

Many of the other reviews are not fair, those people who wrote them seem to have champagne tastes with beer in their pockets. The person I spoke to when booking the reservation was very honest about the type of place this was and I got exactly what I expected. There are nicer places on the mountain, but be prepared to spend more.

Overall, I will definitely be staying here again.

“It's Nostalgic People!”

The Liftline has been around for ages and I've been staying at the place for the past 10 years. If you're a Paris Hilton, posh type go somewhere else. This place is a complete dive, is totally dated, but is the ideal place to stay if you're a true ski/snowboard junkie who just needs a hot shower and place to crash for the night after a long day on the mountain.

Sure, the place looks horrid. Imagine 40 years of skiers trudging though the halls will boots on, banging equipment off the walls, etc. I have no complaints about the cleanliness of the room. The bed linens were clean, as was the tub & shower. The TV is small, but any true ski bum should be so tired when they get in after a day on the mountain and at the bar that they don't even turn on the TV...just crash!

The Liftline will always be our go to place!

“Perfect for ski bum trip. But don't bring the girlfriend or the family.”

This place is pretty hilarious. As the awesome guy at Stratton said very honestly over the phone, "It's not gonna impress your girlfriend or your mom." If you're doing a quick trip with a friend/brother or someone who is really only interested in a cheap place to stay, you're golden. But this is not resort living. I went for a quick ski weekend with my brother and it was totally perfect for that because all we did at Liftline was sleep. The place is 40 years old and hasn't been updated...probably...well, ever. Our room had an odd smell. Not a bad smell, just an odd smell. Like something you couldn't quite identify, but had smelled sometime in your life before. There was also a hilarious rumble/vibration thing that would just start up in the middle of the night through the wall. It's all kind of comical, honestly, and after a few brews it doesn't really matter. It's clean enough and close enough to the mtn that it works. But no one, in the entire world, would call it nice. It's totally serviceable it you've got a sense of humor. Take your girlfriend or wife here for a romantic weekend only if you're looking to END the relationship.

“What a horrid place to stay!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 October 2010

I booked this place via expedia, but I didn't know I was booking "Liftline Lodge", instead it showed up as "Stratton Mtn Resort" -- there's your first clue. If the hotel is $75/night and it stays Stratton Mtn Resort, you're likely going to be staying at the liftline lodge.
Basically the resort has a bunch of different lodging and they scale anywhere from gorgeous (I assume) to absolutely abandonment crap (thats what we got).

My dad and I stayed here one night during our Foilage Road trip. When getting to the resort, I was ecstatic, couldn't believe what a great place I got a hotel at, and for the price. Well, first it took us two wrong guidance before we realized how to CHECK IN (It shouldn't be THAT hard). When we finally did check in and was told which bldg we'd be in, we proceeded and did a double take. The bldg looked like it had been abandoned and used as some storage (if even that). We hesitantly went in (the main bldg door wasn't even shut properly, had a broken handle). We had keys (like real keys, not the hotel cards) for our rooms. That should have been a flag. Who the hell uses real keys anymore?

As we opened the main door, we saw the rusty, stained, ripped up carpet -- it looked like it had been attacked with tons of houses dropping in, ash and dust EVERYWHERE. The rest of the bldg looked haunted, we found our room on the first floor, the carpet and hallway leading to the room was progressively getting worse.

Opened the door and the room was POORLY lit, and carpet was so disgusting we didnt take our shoes off. The beds had that motel style spread. On the plus side, it had two queen beds and the beds themselves weren't so bad. Either that or we were SO exhausted by this point that we just passed out. I couldn't even shower in that tub, it just irked me.

The room had a old 19 in TV, lights that wouldn't turn on or off properly, thermostat that didn't work, and a coffee maker. It did have two individual closet/armoir, which would've been useful if I wasn't so grossed about putting anything on anything.

Was out of there by 5am the next morning. Horrible. Would NEVER stay here again. Luckily, my next hotel (in montreal, where i paid the same) was a GEM!

Apart from the hotel, the location, stratton village (with food, and stores) were not too shabby. One trip however is more than enough.
