We just came from a winter ski weekend and stayed at the Mulburn Inn, a lovely old turn of the century bed and breakfast which presents well, seems well maintained, and according to the innkeeper, was minutes from the ski area. We were told that the room we reserved, the last one available, was the luxury room complete with fireplace. We were offered a "package deal" for two nights that included two adult ski tickets for one day, and one dinner for two. ($380.00)Upon arrival, we discovered that the "fireplace" was actually an electric heater built into a mantle surround with a fan that blows on a picture screen flickering to appear as flames. The room was spacious and warm when we moved in, so we laughed and let it be. We were then told that the dinner for two was actually a $45.00 certificate to eat at the restaurant next door. The next day after skiing (which was some 15 miles from the ski area) we quickly prepared for dinner and went to eat. The restaurant was pleasant, and food excellent, although the $45.00 did not cover the dinner. When we arrived at the Mulburn Inn, our room seemed cold. We checked the heat, and it was completely off. We called the innkeeper who seemed surprised, and questioned us about the fireplace! She did agree to turn the heat on, and in about 45 minutes, the radiator got warm--but at midnight, we awakened cold, and the heat was off again!! We were forced to use the electric heater, hardly sufficient for a room of that size!As an aside, they allow guests with dogs, one of whom happened to sleep in the next room and shake and jingle its dog collar during the night.Upon checking out the following day we questioned the 8% lodging tax on the entire bill. Given that over $100.00 was for two ski tickets and $45.00 for dinner not provided at the inn, we were being charged an 8% lodging and meals tax on the $145.00--which eliminates any savings on the ski tickets, and forces you to eat dinner at a specific restaurant! Furthermore, we paid tax on the full meal at the restaurant, before subtracting the gift certificate. The innkeeper indicated that it was law that they tax the total, but she did end up pricing the "package" as some $60--and did not tax that amount. However how she arrived at that amount of the "package" is unknown. (Ski tickets are $57 per adult per day, two days discounted to $103.00)Since we planned to ski two days each, the price would have to be less than $51 each to make the package profitable.I would recommend all customers review any 'package' to see if it actually offers any savings or has hidden taxes. Furthermore, although the Mulburn is a lovely buiding, you might plan to visit during the summer when you don't have to depend on an electric heater for your comfort during the night.
