3 Star Hotels in Lakes and Mountains, Maine

"Clean rooms and friendly staff. However I was there towards the end of the ski season and there was noticeably less staff around to help with bags and ski equipment when checking in, but I guess this is expected when visiting outside of peak season "

"Yes"

"You need alternative breakfast for people who can’t sit . Continental simple stuff but other than that everything was great "

"These hotel rooms have not been renovated or re-carpeted since the Bush Administration. There are no mini fridges and only a microwave in the lobby. If it were really cheap it would be kitschy and fun. But it wasn’t much less expensive than the much nicer Sugarloaf Hotel up the bunny hill. The bar was great as was the food - but nowhere to get breakfast before hitting the hill. Very close to the feeder chair, but so are all of the condo’s etc that are available on Air BnB. "

"Easy access to ski slopes. Outdoor pool was fantastic"

"We picked The Bethel Inn Resort mainly for the location since we were skiing at Sunday River Ski Resort, and that part worked out great. The price felt reasonable, and having a continental breakfast included was a nice perk. The heated outdoor pool, sauna, and gym building were all really nice after a long day on the mountain. The room itself was pretty basic and definitely a bit dated. No USB outlets, which feels like an easy upgrade these days. Parking is out front, and if you’re staying farther back (like we were), it’s kind of a haul carrying ski gear. We ate at the restaurant one night—honestly, it felt a little chaotic and understaffed. The food was just okay, but portions were solid. Overall, we’d probably stay again because of the location and amenities, but next time we’d try to get a room closer to the main building and avoid the Fairway side."
