Me and my teenage daughter spent 2 nights at this motel during a short ski trip. This was probably one of the worst motels I have ever stayed at. The musty smell from the room got into all our clothes. The room had very outdated furniture and the cleanliness of the bathroom was far from perfect. And the price they... more

Spend the extra money on a better place to stay. Creepy, smelly, dirty. There was blood on the wall, a used band aid on the bathroom floor. When we got there, there was urine and toilet paper in the toilet. Floors were creeky and you can hear your neighbors every move. Was not happy with the stay, and next time... more

Customer Service: As a previous reviewer mention customer service was lacking, could have been a lack of a common language as both my wife and I got the impression the woman at the desk did not understand us or just didn't care. Cleanliness: I've taveled the world quite extensively and have stayed in some pretty bad places (third world). Happy... more

I have stayed at some rundown motels before but this was the worst I have ever seen. We had a late check-in and got there at midnight, the lady at the front desk was mad we came so late. She gave us our key then locked the office and left- I'm asuming she went to bed 'cuz when I saw... more

Over all this Motel was in a convenient location to the mountain. However that was the only good thing about it. There was No wireless internet, no weight room, and no HBO. The staff was very grumpy and gave me the feeling they did not like tourists. I happen to be in the Hospitality field and rarely write bad reviews.... more

Three or four days prior to arrival I booked my reservation at Happy Trails in Ludlow, VT. One full day prior to check-in, I needed to change my plans and I called to cancel my reservation. I was very careful to be polite because I was aware that the management has a 14 day cancellation policy. But I figured I... more

We have been staying in Ludlow during the skiseason for several years and were looking for some more affordable accomodations. Based on their advertisments we decided to stop at the front desk and asked if we could see a room. The strong smell in the office area reminded us of Indian cusine (if you like it great, if you want... more

This is a no frills motel that is clean, comfortable, roomy, and even has mini-balconies with great views of Mt. Ascutney. Tub and shower, flat-screen dish tv, and reasonable price make the Happy Trails a good value. more

This is the creepiest and least accommodating motel ever!!! They would not let us have any friends in our room, and spied on us in the hot tub to count the number of people we had (also timed us). SO we were scolded for spending to long in the hot tub and then told our friends had to leave at... more

It was a small rundown motel. The tub sink and toilet were clean. The bed was old, the furnishings were old. The high speed internet connection was good. The front desk people were fine. more
