Boreal Inn is just 5 min walking distance to the ski area and it's so conviniente to stay there after long day on the slopes. The place is little outdated but rooms are big and warm. Staff is nice and frendly. Continental breakfast is decent. we are planing on going soon, just waiting for snow. Our kids had great time... more

This is a two star hotel folks. For starters, consider the clientele. People who stay at the Boreal Inn are snowboarders and skiers. Mostly 20 somethings who want to ride and then party, and 30 somethings who bring their kids for a ski/snowboard experience. It's almost always snowy and muddy so YES, the floors are gonna be dirty as everyone... more

I knew going in we'd have to travel for decent food. But I didn't expect dIrty room, no consideration for kids and tons of attitude. Biggest complaint is service. I asked to fix a clogged sink 1/2 hour after we arrived. Was told I could move (9:30pm -with young tired kids almost asleep - right) or wait until maintenance came... more

Planned three night stay, Myself and my eleven year old daughter, we checked out after one night, 7:00pm to 8:00am. The staff didn't even ask why ?? but of course charged me per policy.

Boreal has to be one of the worse resorts in the states. During a rest break, we timed one of the shorter lines, and watching one specific person it took over thirty minutes for this guy to get from the end of the lift line until he reached the top of the run. This was for a green bunny-hill that... more

The Boreal Inn is not the place to stay if you are looking for a nice hot tub or even a super clean room. The only reason to stay there is that you can litterally walk over to the slopes in th at Boreal. So, for all you college students who will probably pack 8 people in a room anyway,... more

When we paid $99 for one night before peak season, we expected much more than a large dorm room. Instead of a hot tub, we had a dirty tub. Bring your own food since the closest restaurant is 10 miles away - unless you'll settle for an over-priced frozen hot-pocket. Not recommended. more
