May 10, 2008

Situated very close to Hunter mountain ski resort(10 minutes walk). Friendly staff. Nice view (with had a room with a view). Rooms looking VERY bad (need renovation: faucets with corrosion, bath tub was dirty with black stains and ceiling was bloated due to humidity. Some walls in the room were dirty, and one of them even had a hole in... more

We booked our stay here for one night through the lodge's website. We figured how bad could it be for just one night? I was so disappointed. The room had such a bad smell, the bathroom was disgusting (in need of major repair) and the beds were really uncomfortable. This place does not look well taken care of. There was... more

Stayed in July. The accomodations were great. Great rates. Clean, new furniture, great pool, friendly staff. We only stayed one night but we loved it. The young couple managing the lodge are great, very friendly, and helpful. Good breakfast. Would recommend and will stay again. Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful View more

Our family and friends (12 in total) stayed at the Forester for two nights for the German Alps Festival. We had rooms facing the spectacular mountain view. After reading some of the previous reviews we were scared of what we would find. Although lodge is old and tired, it was spacious and clean. Beds were comfortable, with fresh linens and... more

While the view of the mountain is good since it sits high on an adjacent hill, it is rundown and very overpriced compared to other local motels. Further, avoid the room directly adjacent to the office/manager's residence. You can hear every meal and conversation of the manager and her kids. We also had property disappear from our room and the... more

Ok, here's the deal-- the view is great. With a mountain view room, all you see is mountain. It's probably a great location for ski season. The rooms themselves are big but rough around the edges. The TV was old. They have paper bathmats and sad, skimpy worn out towels. There is no breakfast so we had to go out... more

My family and I stayed at this place for 2 nights and were disappointed by more than a few things. One of the reasons we chose this hotel is because it clearly states on their website that "Breakfast" is included with the room. I even asked the gentleman the first night we were there what time breakfast started, and he... more

We paid $100 for a room that only gave us 2 hand towels and no bath towels. We had to ask for batteries for the remote control for the TV and ask for a light bulb for the lamp in the room that had burned out. Since we weren't able to get a room with a view, we got a... more

I was a little scared when I read the review about the outlets and door locks but I had no choice everywhere else was booked. I called and asked some questions about the Hotel and found out it was newly renovated in 2005 so I said what could be so bad so I made a reservation. When I went I... more

Stayed at Forester Motor Lodge with 3 friends. They put us in a "quad" room (2 joining bedrooms, 1.5 bath). The quad rooms are not part of the main lodge, they are across the driveway so there is no great "view" from these rooms. Granted, I didn't get to see the quad rooms upstairs from us, although I could hear... more
