The Black Bear Lodge at Stratton Mountain Resort

Only there for one night: Plusses: excellent staff, comfortable bed and nice amenities. Nonos: full house caused a parking nightmare. Even with a handicapped placard we were accommodated to allow parking in front of the loading dock. Also, no elevator and steep stairs to the 2nd floor. I’d stay there again and I’m a frequent traveler.

We have stayed at this hotel three times in July because it is convenient to the American Dance Academy camp nearby. The hotel desperately needs to be freshened up. I have no complaints about the comfortable beds and the nice bathrooms, but the interior of the hotel is dingy, and the carpet throughout seems gross. I wouldn't use the sauna (spelled Suana on a large direction sign on the wall- why haven't they fixed this??) or hot tub because of this pervasive feeling of dinginess. That being said, the staff is very nice, the breakfast that's included is fine, and the price, though a bit high for the quality of the place, is the lowest in the area. And the location is excellent.

We were pleasantly surprised to find a refrigerator and coffee maker in our room! Last year when we stayed here we did not have either (check ahead if these are important to you). The location is perfect for spending time at Stratton Mountain Village. The staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel is dated and in need of upgrades, but has everything you need!

Was great quiet week stay for work. Only down side is breakfast wasnt served till after I left for work and I was put in the basement rooms. Hot tub was fantastic. Again was super quiet and nice I loved it.

Be ware that a “preferred room” means a room pets can stay in, not a better room! Hallways smelled of itine on side of hotel where pets are allowed. No elevator so mugging suitcases and skis up stairs was trying. Room size large.staff. Staff we dealt with was lovely!

Shuttle if very efficient and the wait is never long to get to the slopes and village area. Great area for walks and/or with dogs. Although I was hoping for pancakes or waffles with the continental breakfast but was great nonetheless. Had dinner reservations in the village and the shuttle was the way to go on a super cold night. It’s just what you need to be comfortable. Hot tub and sauna was refreshing. I’d would deff recommend staying there again.

Rooms were clean, some wear noticeable. Staff very friendly and helpful.

very convenient. rooms were clean, but a little dated. Only negative was the guests noise from the room above us.

We loved our stay at the Black Bear! The check-in went smoothly with desk staff, Noah. She was very helpful and went over everything about our stay. The room was very clean. The hot tub was very nice and clean and a welcome after a day on the slopes. The shuttle to the mountain was great and ran frequently. The breakfast was always hot and had many options. We would definitely stay there again!
