Arrived at the hotel and was assigned a room. No problems there. Then went up to the room to find the room hadn’t been cleaned. The bed was not made with sheets from prior visitor. Bathroom was not clean either. Went back to the check-in desk and informed the staff. They assigned another room. I then went fly fishing and then returned to the hotel. Upon arrival late at night I discovered someone was in my room! A lady and her two grand daughters with my belongings still in the room. We contacted staff and had to wait several minutes before staff arrived back at the desk. Finally received a room reassignment. Fortunately none of my belongings were missing. The staff apologized and indicated a partial refund will be provided. Needless to say, a very poor experience!

The man who checked me in was unwelcoming. He did not give any information about the breakfast or its location. He gave no information about how to operate the TV, and there was none in the room. The breakfast was limited in choice and provided in a factory-like lunch room given no attention to decoration or friendly ambience. My room itself was clean, functional, and well-appointed. The room was the best part of my stay.

Overall, I think this place is okay. The property (building, rooms, parking lot, etc.) just looked and felt old and tired. There was nothing exciting about this place that I experienced. However, the room was clean, everything I needed was available, and worked. I would stay there again if I had too, but I wouldn't recommend it unless it was the cheapest and closest hotel for your needs.

Guy at the front desk was rude, he closed the pool more than 10 minutes early and he knew we were coming down for a quick swim. When i told him that we wanted a quick dip in the pool, he gave me a disgusting look and said the pools closed. This is not the room i paid for, all the furniture is beat up and broke. The bed has stains all over it. I will never come back here again. False advertisement at the Ausable Valley Inn

Great experience until the end!

Our experience was really great (clean/tidy room, check in staff was friendly and helpful) until the end of our stay. The housekeeper on the day of check out was upset with his co workers (something he stated himself) and was very rude and uptight about our check out time which was already handled by the check in/counter staff.

Solid accommodations for the price. Beds are a bit firm and breakfast is disappointing but really for what they charge, hard to ask for much more. I would stay here again

Pretty run down & dated property. Staff (one person) seemed irritated to be there. There was supposed to be continental Bfast but we didn’t see anything or anyone so we just left. Parking lot was empty (other than one car) so I suspect we were the only ones there.
