Terrible hotel. In dire need of a makover would not let us check in till late afternoon and no place to change for skiing never again

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.

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.

We found the hotel on hotline and because it was foliage there were no options in the area under $250.00 so I decided at Stratton Resort can't be too bad. How wrong I was - The outside of the building is truely getto, paint peeling, weeds all over, carpet on the interior outer area filthy and torn. Well that was just the beginning. The rooms carpet was so bad my husband wouln't take his socks off. Had not been cleaned for years I imagine. The furniture was rotting at the bottom the screens for he windows didn't fit the windows properly because they were bent, the windows wouldn't open. Scarey place. We booked an expensive room for the second night and are waiting for our Hotwire refund to be confirmed. The girl at the front desk said they keep the lift line lodge available so the college kids have a place to stay. So in essence the Liftline lodge is only for kids who use it rather than sleeping in their cars.
