Pleasantly surprised! We booked a night this week for a Gunstock Ski overnight. It was our first time to Gunstock/Gilford during the winter.
My husband booked the room because it checked off our boxes: close to the mountain, indoor pool, and jacuzzi. Our first impression was great, quick check-in and easy parking. When we entered my girls commented right away about how clean it smelled.
The room was outdated in regards to color-scheme and furnishings, but this room was very clean. The bathroom was spotless, furniture was polished, and carpets were clean.
I am very sensitive to smell and this

I would never stay here again! We went to get away for a peaceful weekend and it was far from it. The whole hall was rented from a family who were extremely loud with their kids running up and down the hallways while the parents did absolutely nothing about it. Oh yeah, let’s add the dog in the room barking because the kids were banging on the door. When mentioned to staff they said sorry about that, the come here every year…so…! Nothing was done to try to keep them down. And I didn’t even think about going to the pool as the family of probably 20 people were there the whole time. Room

The room was fine. We stayed in a suite. Everything is really dated, but it was clean and serviceable. I am giving one star for two reasons:
1. When we checked in at the front desk, we were told there is an unadvertised additional $15 service/resort fee that we were charged on top of the rate that we'd already paid. This appears nowhere on the website. A bait and switch like this is against the law (or should be).
2. The hotel requires that guests strip their own linens (sheets/pillowcases/blankets) and towels, and take out their garbage at the conclusion of the stay. We were told about this

Stopped by to get a room, the lady at the front desk was a bit stressed out, a large number of guests decided to check out all at the same time so it was a tad overwhelming. She did an outstanding job and managed to keep a smile on her face the entire time!! She handled it like a boss and should be commended :) :) after the rush I asked for a room, wasn't too hopeful as it was Labor Day weekend, but she did manage to get me one And at an amazing price as well!! The industry is hurting hard and a lot of Employees are feeling the customer's anger and frustration As if they are personally responsible

For the record the property is very nice and very well maintained, and the staff are fantastic. This is not a review about the physical property or staff but about the business practices that the hotel is employing.
First upon your arrival you will be required to pony up an additional $15 dollar resort fee for the pool; oh you will have to pay the fee even if you don't use the pool. Anyone like hidden fees? If it isn't optional just increase the price of the rooms to account for the fee, but by doing this you get to advertise your hotel as cheaper than your competitors.

All of the workers were EXTREMELY sweet, friendly, helpful and always willing to socialize or ask us how our day was when we would reenter the Inn.
I was disappointed with the lack of choices of breakfast, also no toaster we had to microwave things like the amazing banana bread. Also, the walls are very thin so we could hear all the commotion in the halls with the rowdy guests or even just conversation in the hallways were as if they were in our room. Our shower head was angled towards the wall and unable to reposition so that was a challenge to shower. The beds were extremely comfortable and

This is one of my favorite places I have ever stayed, especially as a hostel. Everything little detail is so well thought out and adds to the experience of the the stay as a whole. The two owners really care and make it feel like home. I was going to only stay for one night but it was really hard to leave I loved it so much. I strongly recommend this place for off season or during the ski season if you can book it.

Recently stayed here on a weekend trip to the area for my girlfriend's birthday. Very friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating staff. Clean and spacious room with a large TV and refrigerator. The bed was really comfortable and the outdoor patio was a great addition. We did not go in the pool or hot tub but they looked well maintained and clean. COVID-19 precautions were clearly being taken and followed by staff. Would stay here again.

Dirty, dirty and more dirt. One bed was missing a sheet. Left with nasty bug bites, stained toilets, nasty carpet, one broken bed that made a "pop" when you got onto it. This entire hotel needs some serious upgrades, and for that they charge they definitely have the money to do it. Also. Seems super gross that they stressed to us that they only clean rooms every other day. So we had no clean towels after day one.

I cannot say enough incredible things about Fireside Gilford. Our rental house cancelled on us four days before our wedding where we were supposed to have 21 guests and 2 dogs stay the night before and of our wedding. Elaine and Frank came through for us and SAVED OUR DAY. They were able to accommodate, not only our two dogs, but every single one of our guests for Friday and Saturday night. They were nothing short of AMAZING. I had been so stressed trying to scramble to find a place for all of us to stay, close to our venue. Fireside completely melted away my stress and made the whole experience

Nice lodgey type of hotel. There were two sides to the hotel and I think there were "regular" rooms and then the suite style rooms, which were basically apartments.
The suites are huge. I had a room on the first floor and it also had a small porch area in the back. Full kitchen with utensils and plates etc in case you are in for a long stay and don't want to eat out every night.
Very large living room and a separate bedroom.
Great place to stay for a getaway from the city life.

We actually found this place totally by accident and booked a week stay months ago. We stayed in a suite that is actually a timeshare. It had a full kitchen, living room, bed room and bathroom. Two huge tv's a clock radio and even a balcony..that went right to my truck!
I cannot say enough good things about this place and we're already planning next year's trip!
The women at night who work the front desk are absolutey amazing! They literally go OUT of their way to make sure your stay is perfect.
The maintenance men were at our door within two minutes when the sound wouldn

We've been to concerts a couple of times in Gilford and were never totally happy with accommodations until we stayed here. It's not the swankiest, but everything that counts is great. The beds were more comfortable than my own, the staff was super friendly, and it's perfect walking distance from the concert venue. I wish the doors had a little more soundproofing, as I could hear everything in the hallway, but the other guests were mostly families, and totally polite. This is now my Gilford home!

Pretty decent no-frills stay that's both affordable, comfortable, and pet-friendly ($20 extra for a pet). Our king room was large, had a couch and a gigantic TV and was around $100 per night. When we checked in we got fresh whoopie pies and in the evening there was popcorn and cocoa in the lobby. I would recommend staying here again, the location is also great and our pet-friendly room lead right outside (you'd be surprised how many pet friendly rooms at other hotels are on the second floor!) AWESOME continental breakfast, too.
