Happy Bear Motel

It’s what you get for a motel in an area where everything was sold out! Adequate

I have been traveling New England in October since I was a baby- I am very accustomed to New England motels and this did NOT hit the mark. Part of the enclosure that held the stairs to go to the 2nd floor was boarded up with plywood. The room was tiny, it was my husband my 2 very small children and we could barely get around. We only received 2 towels- we shared, cleanliness was lacking, what was in the room seem to be the cheapest way to provide anything, what channels came up on the tv were snowy, old, outdated and dirty. I would not recommend this motel.

Location was great. This property is run down. I found mice droppings on the bed. The housekeeper did not close the door completely when the room was serviced which was a bit concerning. Amenities were horrible! I had to go buy soap. This place was not worth the almost $400 I paid for two nights.

Very convenient location!

We booked 2 nights, but only stayed one night. Room wasn't cleaned ... used towels were hanging on shower rod, black dog hair were on sheets when we pulled back covers (we have a yellow lab, so not our dogs hair) & the room had a horrible smell. When we went to check out a day early I rang bell for service at front desk several times & yelled hello a few times; after 5 mins I just wrote a quick note that we were leaving. Never heard from them either about why we left early. Needs a lot of updates. I booked on line. Front desk people were nice at check in.

6 min drive to ski mountain, very convenient location. It is close to deli market and restaurants too. no breakfast because it's out off season now.

The condition wasn't surprising (it was clean)...you get what you pay for, but my biggest issue is that they advertise "breakfast included", but it should be considered a "continental" breakfast. If you want coffee, OJ, a mini-bagel and cereal, then you will be satisfied. there's nothing more than that :-(

Basic Motel. The rooms were small but clean. The owner of / managers were very nice. Bring your own breakfast but you can have a cup of coffee

This place is where you want to be- very cute and right in the center of everything. Walking distance to some really great bars and restaurants.

Last weekend was the fourth time my friends and I stayed at the Happy Bear. What do they say are the three most important things about real estate? Location Location Location. Lucky for Happy Bear because it's location is literally the only reason we stay at the Happy Bear. It is right across the street from Pickle Barrel and Wobbly Barn (the two most important establishments on the mountain aside from maybe the ski trails). Happy Bear is priced appropriately. I would rather pay an extra $200 per night and have a few hundred more amenities like adult sized towels, a shower that hits above my belly button and a parking lot that doesn't double as a wet ice skating rink. The staff at Happy Bear are friendly and courteous but they are savvy. Don't try to get an extra guest past them, they'll catch ya. They meter the occupants by limiting your bathroom towels to two per room. Some day my friends and I will buy this joint, fix it up and make it look more like the Ritz and less like my moms basement. Heat works, sheets are clean. Fox News comes in fuzzy. There are no outlets to plug your phone in except for behind the 1999 college dorm room refrigerator set atop an old wooden chess that doesn't open. We will stay here again, and again only because I literally can not afford a DUI.
