The staff was very attentive and very friendly 
We had a great time with our family and friends
Will definitely be back soon possibly New Year’s Day weekend 
Affordable and close by for us as we live in New York. 
Would enjoy the snow and change of scenery and menu

Great job

I have stayed here many times. Recently I had a rez and I asked to change it. I was told that was fine. A new date was confirmed for later this month and I thought nothing more about it. I was then contacted and told that sorry, there had been a mistake, that the hotel had been bought out for the week my rez fell in and they would give me a credit. I had no other immediate plans to visit and I said ok, but in this case I would rather have my money refunded. They refused and got very belligerent. I said hang on, I had moved my reservation, you had confirmed this by email and now as you are cancelling this I feel this is unfair and in violation of my rights. They agreed to refund and then called and in a very cold and rude and horribly condescending manner said they would now no longer accept any reservation I made, that I was banned. DO NOT STAY HERE - IT IS A LOVELY PROPERTY BUT THIS CUSTOMER SERVICE IS ABUSIVE AND IVE NEVER BEEN TREATED THIS BADLY BY A HOTEL ... THEY DONT NEED TO WORRY I WOULD NEVER GO NEAR THIS PLACE EVER AGAIN

DO NOT STAY - HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND DISHONEST PRACTICES

I got very sick right before to my stay and was not able to go. They refused to give me a refund because it was too close the to stay date. I didn’t know I was going to be sick any sooner?!? Now I have credits that I’ll never use… great…

Poor medical cancelation policy

This place is nice, but it did not live up to its $500+/night pricetag. We stayed here before in 2018 and really liked it, but this trip had some disappointments, including the room. We had a king with a deck. The bed was not very comfortable; the air conditioning unit is directly opposite the head of the bed, so the person sleeping on that side has air conditioning blown directly into their face during the night. The hall area where you store your clothes has no light, so it's impossible to see what you've packed. The single curtain over the window keeps out all the light, so there's no way to have some privacy in the room and also have some of the beautiful scenery or light come through. The bathroom was really small and there were two very basic, not at all luxurious towels.  (The bath products did smell good and were nice and there were two nice terry robes.) It's a Four Seasons pricetag, but the thoughtfulness of the room is more like a Sheraton. There was also loud music played by the pool from 10 AM - 6 or 7 PM. Clearly some people like that and think it adds to the vibe, but for us, we just wanted to sit by the pool and read and enjoy the beautiful scenery and the loud music was a real downer. 

Disappointing for the price, but a great location. 

Can’t speak for how SCL is in the winter, but we visited in August 2023 for a family trip with our two dogs. There was a little bit of confusion with the way we booked our multiple rooms, so there only ended up being dog treats in one room instead of two, but it wasn’t a big deal. They still provided enough toys and treats and bowls for both dogs, which was very much appreciated. 

All three rooms were mountain-facing with a balcony, which was really great, especially when the west deck got a little crowded or if we just wanted a quiet place to sit. My partner and dog and I stayed in the king room with a loft, which was awesome. The room was spacious as was the second-level loft—there was plenty of room by the foot of the bed to fit our pup’s large bed. There was also a working fireplace that we didn’t use as much because summer (lol), but I imagine it comes in handy in the winter.

The activities were a bit lacking in variety, but we were rarely bored! The pool got crowded early but it wasn’t too much of a struggle to find a chair or bed to lay on. I appreciated the towels and sunscreen provided, but the towels ran out while I was there, which was a tad inconvenient.

We only had breakfast at the hotel restaurant, Prospect, and it was delicious if not a bit pricey. The waitstaff there were always super attentive and friendly. Service was pretty quick and the food was good!

Front desk staff were also super helpful allowing us to store our pup’s wet food in their fridge (no mini fridges in the rooms). I do wish they were a little friendlier/warmer, but they were still helpful.

Nice family getaway with the dogs

I had heard good things about Scribners and was excited to stay there.  Unfortunately it was a major disappointment.  The front desk staff were totally unhelpful -- could not make restaurant recommendations, could not even help with reservations at the restaurant in the hotel, and looked at me like I was crazy for asking for help with getting a large suitcase up to my room.  Then there was the room itself -- looks good in pictures but totally uncomfortable.  Thin walls where we could hear everything next door.  Noise from the lobby below filtering into the room all night.  One of the two beds in the room was about 6 inches from the HVAC system with an unmovable vent blowing air right at eye level the whole night.  Nice sheets but low quality pillows and mattresses.  Tiny bathroom with no room to put your things.  If the price had been half what it was, I might have accepted these issues but at the prices they are charging everything should have been better.

Totally overrated and overpriced

THE FRAUDULENTLY STOLE 3,200.00 FROM MY CREDIT CARD..WITH THREAT OF POLICE I EVENTUALLY GO MY REVERSAL...
ONE HOUSEKEEPER KASHA,HAD WINE ON HER BREATH,AND OWNER WAS RUDE..DONT TRUST THESE PEOPLE..THEY ARE LUCKY I DIDNT PRESS CRIMINAL CHARGES FOR GRAND LARCENY...

LOUSY EXPIERENCE ALL AROUND

Great experience. Lovely little escape!

I loved the feel of this hotel and the view of the mountain was very special.

It’s cozy and beautiful and just a great escape for a city dweller. Library was well-stocked with unique reads.

The food was fantastic and the people in the restaurant were really knowledgeable about the food. 

Fantastic stay all around!

Fantastic stay!

In  many years of business travel this is amongst the worst places in terms of value for money. 
For the price - over USD 500!!!!  a night - the facilities are completely under-resourced and the rooms are not up to standard. There is no closet nor a dresser. Theoretically you can hang up your cloth in the open wardrobe right at the door, however the bed is one level up, so with the bed one level up, to get to your clothes  you have to wander around the room. There is no dresser, so underwear will either have to be stored openly right in the entrance wardrobe or on the sofa in plain view. If that is not to your taste then its the suitcase on the floor next to the bed. 
There is no table in the room, so in case you need to write some mails you‘ll have to do it on your knees. 
There is no fitness room. No business corner either. So printing anything means it has to be sent to a random mail of the hotel. If it’s confidential, not a great place to be. 
And DO NOT book room 50!!!!. the bed sits directly  next to the wall to which the chimney of the kitchen’s ventilation system is attached, so you have the feeling of sleeping next to the chimney of an ocean liner. 
And last but not least, the staff is no were near what you would expect for a place of this price. Marginally competent and not well organized. 
In any case, the chances that I have to come back are zero, so I’ll hang in there for the few nights I have to be here.

Very bad value for the price

Hip Lodge by Hunter Mountain. The owners did a major makeover.  It’s kind of swanky with with a hipster vibe— if that’s what you’re looking for. 
Easy to find and convenient to the slopes.
It has a good restaurant and bar as well.   It also has a spa and a pool. 
Overall a good spot for those who have the $ and appreciate the style
