It was my first visit to Sugarloaf Mountain Hotel, and what a wonderful spot, right at the base of the mountain. Friendly staff. Tasty restaurant on site. Constant availability of complimentary lemon water, tea & hot chocolate next to a cozy fireplace in the lobby. It was fun being there for opening weekend and I can't wait to visit again in the winter!
However, next time I will NOT book through ******* as I learned priority is given to those who call directly to make reservations. For example, my booking of a "superior room" landed me on the first floor (it was still a spacious, quiet room but for my first visit there I'd wanted a view of the mountain or valley, not the parking lot). Plus, getting breakfast included in the room rate is not an option when booking through online travel apps. Gotta respect the Mainers' offering perks for registering old school!
