My husband and I stayed last week for 3 nights. The staff were so incredibly nice, the facilities were some of the cleanest we have been to, and our last 2 hotel stays were 5 star rated and this was just as nice and MUCH friendlier. We had one little glitch and it was taken care of immediately and even though it wasn't a huge issue to us, we were told we were being compensate and we weren't even particularly upset or even thought we would get a discount. They are that serious about your stay being seamless and perfect. When we first booked, I wasn't so sure about staying there as we hadn't been to Stowe in 15 years, but when we arrived I wasn't so sure blown away! We are definitely going back and will be staying with Sun and Ski Resort. They have a nice little complimentary breakfast, coffee all day, and cookies in the afternoon. For a fee, there is a bowling alley and miniature golf which are extremely well maintained. The pool was very clean and the lounges soooo comfy with cushions on them. I could go on and on, but I highly recommend you check it out for yourself! A special thank you to all the staff for making our stay so much more than I was expecting! read more

Central location clean and neat rooms pool and hot tub were fantastic and clean. The staff were amazing and the grounds are beautifully kept. It was great to have mini golf and bowling at the same location so much fun. read more

Sun and Ski Inn and Suites - Mini golf - Hotels Near Me - Stowe, Vermont

I'd give it a 1/2 star. Felt like this was a bait and switch. My granddaughter was looking forward to the rooms being near the river and mini golf etc. instead we were put into the condos that were away from everything and they were substandard. It looked like they were poorly refurbished 2 bedroom condos that were cheaply redone to 3 bedrooms. The floors felt like they were rotting. read more

Excellent location a must stop And enjoy Stowe Bowl, a martini and an app read more

Very pleasant surprise. It's basically a motor inn where you pull up to your room (although there are a few rooms above the main building). The rooms are very large and recently renovated - door out to the front by your can and a rear patio overlooking a huge green expanse with a small brook/river as well! Rooms were clean and fairly basic. The breakfast is very reasonable in the morning with both hot and cold items along with a small selection of fruits. There are restaurants within walking distance or a short drive and Stowe Mountain Resort is just up the road. Would highly recommend for the price! read more

Stayed gay ski week rooms are clean however no room service unless asked for, nice that it includes boxed breakfast with rate really enjoyed the bowling they also have an indoor pool and smallish hot tub which has seen better days half the jets don't work and only room for 6-7 people if you don't mind squeezing read more

We stayed at the condos, which is located on cottage drive road, a short 2-3 minute drive from the main building. I stayed in the D building with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with total of 5 people. It has a nice updated kitchen with oven, dishwasher, large fridge, all utensils needed for cooking and eating.It was super convenient. Bath towels and very small bottles of shampoo and soap were also in the bathrooms but if you're planning on staying with alot of people, I'd suggest you bring a bigger bottle yourself, or probably ask front desk for a lot more. Water pressure in the showers were strong. Parking is available but just keep in mind there are lots of steps (stairs) to go up in order to go to your condo room. We also had free breakfast included even though the website said it wasn't, so that was nice. Only thing though was that we had to drive to the main building to eat breakfast. It was a decent breakfast with cooked eggs and meats(sausage or bacon) , bread, bagels, cereals, yogurt, fruits, coffee, tea etc. The condo resorts have their own pool building with dry sauna and jacuzzi. The pool was lukewarm, big and deep (I believe it went up to either 6or 8feet). I was worried about bacteria in the lukewarm water so ehhh. Jacuzzi was packed with a bunch of young adults but it had alot of white foam so I was pretty hesitant in even wanting to go in there. I forgot to bring my flip flops so I felt pretty disgusted with myself walking around barefoot. It's been at least 2 weeks since my trip and haven't noticed any fungal infections so far. The pool house provided towels and has a shower room as well. Overall, I had a good stay here. read more

See all

The Good: :: location. it's in between major areas :: cost. it was very affordable :: free wireless! :: hot breakfast included. we got to eat some pretty tasty sausage biscuits, hot coffee, juice, and more :: on-site putt-putt golf course! you had to pay for it per hour but it was ridiculously cheap. a lot of fun! :: indoor pool with views of the outside :: huge grassy backyard area next to a running creek or stream or whatever appropriate body of water it's called. there were hammocks and benches by the water. :: patio out back accessible via sliding glass door. they provided chairs and a table for your use :: window in the bathroom so you could vent it while you showered :: the farmers market is right next door on the weekend!!! it was one of the most amazing farmers markets i've ever been to. The Bad: :: very cheap soap provided, but no big deal b/c we brought our own :: could use some updating of furniture, bedding, etc The Ugly: :: none. Would I go back? Definitely. It was a great deal for what we got, and you can't beat that in Vermont. This place is IN. read more

Awesome accommodations and a bowling alley attached! Girlfriend and I have been to Stowe every year for the past 5 years and this is probably our favorite hotel. The fact that they have a bar and bowling alley really separate it from the rest. It's also very conveniently located from our favorite restaurant Picasso. Super friendly and helpful staff. Rooms are very clean and this is the first place we've stayed that offers a hot breakfast with your stay. 10/10 would recommend! read more

Sun and Ski Inn and Suites - Bowling alley at the hotel with old school hip hop videos playing! Can't beat it! - Hotels Near Me - Stowe, Vermont

We booked the Riverside Loft Suite with 4 beds. 2 doubles upstairs in the loft area, 2 queens downstairs & a sofa bed which we didn't use. Spacious, clean, great location, river view & access. Great value for a large family (we had 6 kids!). We didn't mind not having privacy - loft style space, no closed bedrooms. If we had stayed longer we would have opted for some closed bedrooms which they do offer. Their continental breakfast was generous. Overall we were all very impressed. Would definitely recommend & return again. read more

Sun and Ski Inn and Suites - Hotels Near Me - Stowe, Vermont

This establishment was absolutely wonderful. My roommates and I felt completely safe considering the current situation with Covid. They adhered to all guidelines and it made for a very comforting stay . The room was great, and the grab and go breakfasts were perfect. I was able to have my fur baby with me and he absolutely loved the sliding back door access to run and play in the snow. The hot tub was open, which was nice, and they were able to create a booking system so there was only one household allowed in the hot tub at a time. We were able to have a great end of the ski day experience with some hot tub time, without jeopardizing social distancing rules. Parking right next to our room made for easy loading and unloading access. The microwave and fridge in the room also made for a nice touch so we could get take out and reheat leftovers. We were also within walking distance of a couple of great restaurants. It was great! 10/10 would stay again! read more

Sun and Ski Inn and Suites - Hotels Near Me - Stowe, Vermont

It is with sadness that I have to give this place only 2 stars. Let me explain, on second thought let me sum up. The Good: - Property is in a great location easy access to town, recreation path, and the river runs right behind it - You can walk to the alchemist - Rooms are modern and clean, good size, good WiFi - The bowling alley connected modern and fun - Bowling alley bartenders are super friendly and fun to talk with. Good craft beer selection - Dog friendly with low pet fee of $15 THE BAD: - I know this is maybe just one thing but it overall almost ruined our stay and is the cause of the two star review - The front desk employee a female in her mid 40's or 50's, I don't know her name because she didn't have a name tag on, was super unhelpful, almost obstructionistic and down right rude. If the owner reads this she is the employee that lives on site Ok what happened : 1) We arrive late at night, approximately midnight, the front desk is not staffed after 10pm but the key was waiting for us in the drop box and a phone number was available to call if anything was needed We got into our room and as I was about to shower the electricity went off, no generator for emergency power in the rooms. We couldn't tell if it was just our room, the whole hotel, or Stowe in general so we called the help line, the employee in question answered the phone with a very rude " what do you want" Turns out it was all of stowe, so not hotels fault but definitely the rudeness is. 2) The next morning power had been restored to the rest of stowe but not out hotel, my wife needed the WiFi to work so she asked the front desk, same female employee we have been speaking about, and she was told the city is working on it. 3 hours pass and still no power at the hotel, I see the maintenance worker and asked him for an update, first of all he had no idea there was an issue second he said the breaker for our part of the hotel was in our room ( we had a suite) come to find out the breaker had been triggered so the reason we had no power in the morning was not the city but the breaker, it seams like this female employee did not even check into the issue, by the way she has power at the front desk 3) Anytime we went to the front desk for when she was working seemed like the biggest bother in the world for her, my wife asked to borrow a pair of scissors to cut s tag off some shoes and she made a verbal sound of disgust like we had asked to borrow her kidney. Additionally, many times we had to wait because she was in a back room connected to the front desk doing something on the computer and when I say wait I mean like 10-15 min with no one else In the lobby I hope the owner reads this as this employee, who my have been s manager , was downright rude and disrespectful the entire time, really affecting the enjoyment of our vacation Bottom line : Nice rooms, Good location , cool bowling alley, Good and super nice bar staff HORRIBLE FRONT DESK STAFF and FRONT DESK CUSTOMER SERVICE read more

Please note their cancellation policy when you book. They are strict about it regardless of your reason. It would be nice to have some compassion on the other end for certain situations. You have to be sure you are 100% wanting this place and this time before booking. read more

This was my 2nd time visting Stowe and I don't recall having much fun during my 1st visit at a different hotel until I got to stay at Sun & Ski Inn. We were there in early March. There were 8 of us and we had 2 rooms. The late arrival check-in process was smooth and we did not encounter any problem upon arrival. The room had everything we expected (4 towels, comfy bed, working TV and hot shower) - standard as it sounds but were important factors for us after driving 7-8 hours. The room was spacious (plenty room for 4 adults and bunch of snowboarding/ski gears) and I really liked that the sink was separated from the toilet/shower. The hotel even laid out 4 energy bars for us! Breakfast was simple, but nutritious (fruits/cereal/bread/coffee/hot chocolate/juice/yogurt). They offer coffee/hot chocolate for refill during the day and cookies in the afternoon. Game room was a bit small but there weren't too many people using it so we had a lot of space to ourselves (they also have bunch of board games/puzzles). Also this hotel does not have a bar so you don't have to worry about all the noises at night. The minor issues we had were that the hot tub did not work during the weekend we were there (March 1-3) and the lights in the solarium (where the pool was) was a bit dim. Also that the game room closes at 10pm so you can only hangout in your room or at a local bar at night. Overall, we had great time at this hotel and all my friends praised me for choosing this hotel. The staffs were pretty friendly and accommodated us in every possible way! read more

They took us in and provided us breakfast when our original hotel 1/2 up the road failed us. We have stayed here in the past and was good. They have added a bar / restaurant and a small bowling alley which made our stay very enjoyable. Every employee that we came in contact with was pleasant and accommodating. read more

We stayed here for one night on our way to Maine so that hubby could hit up two legendary breweries--The Alchemist (a short drive) and Hill Farmstead (40 minutes away or so). As we were traveling with our 3 Pekingese, we were assigned a room in the separate motel section to the right of the lobby where you check in. We were assigned a loft room that could comfortably sleep 4 (1 to a Queen Bed) or 8 if you doubled up. I didn't check, but I would bet the full size sofa probably folded out to a sleeper. Nice spacious room so you weren't bumpint in to one another. Mini refrigerator but no microwave which is my only disappointment. Sink/mirror with nice size vanity outside the toilet/bathtub so we could both get ready at the same time. We were able to park right outside the door, so easy in/out with the luggage. Better yet were the sliding glass doors overlooking a large, grassy area leading to a small creek with a wonderful view of the mountains. If it were a bit warmer, we would have sat outside our room on the provided chairs. One of the best hotel freebie breakfasts I have ever had--slices of ham, salami, cheese; fresh yogurt to go along with fresh strawberries & blueberries. Cut up slices of sweet cantaloupe. What looked to be freshly baked blueberry muffins--I went for a warm cinnamon roll. REAL Scrambled eggs with sausage patties. Great start to our day. We will stay longer next time so we can take advantage of their other amenities, convenient location and play some miniature golf that was just on the other side of our parking area. Very pet friendly and accomodating. Suggestion to add door mat by sliding glass doors to be able to wipe shoes off before entering room. Be sure to try the food at the Stowe Bowl attached to the lobby area--you will be pleasantly surprised! read more

Dog friendly, river out back, small patio off room, large yard for sunning, reasonable prices and a bowling alley!!? Yes, this place was a hit. We will def stay here again. Fun to bowl at least one string. The pins are held up by weird strings that don't always work but they have adult bevs available which is convenient. read more

Returned to Sun and Ski after a couple of years away. Totally in love with the new addition. The suites are so roomy and quiet. Stowebowl is a unique addition and solves rainy day problems. read more

Sun and Ski Inn and Suites - Playing in the river out back. - Hotels Near Me - Stowe, Vermont

Sun and Ski was great. My fiancé and I spent the last week there to snowboard at Stowe. Great location with lots of restaurants within walking distance. The free shuttle to the mountain stops right at the hotel. The bowling alley was a fun treat for when we first arrived (like 7PM after a 7 hour drive so didn't feel like going out but wanted to stretch our legs and have fun). But the best part about the hotel is how accommodating they are. When we learned that the weather forecast called for fresh snow we were able to extend our stay by a night (on New Years Eve!) and since they couldn't give us our original room, they rushed to clean the new one so we could settle in with our kitten and hit the slopes early! Not convinced yet? I accidentally left my expensive facial cleanser in the old room and they grabbed it and left it by the door of our new room for us. I couldn't believe how thoughtful they were! We will definitely be back. read more

Sun and Ski Inn and Suites - Our kitten, Bubba, loved his stay. He was very popular with the housekeepers whom he loved too. - Hotels Near Me - Stowe, Vermont

Just spent a lovely night in Stowe and fell in love with Sun and Ski Inn as soon as we stepped in the lobby and were greeted so warmly at the front desk. We were even shown two different rooms to choose from. We went for the one with a full bathtub and a view of the grounds that bordered on a steam complete with rapids. The inn is well appointed and in addition to the usual amenities, there is a very cool bowling alley and lounge with a full casual menu! If bowling is not your thing, how about miniature golf? Pool and hot tub and cosy living area to meet up with friends. Hot and cold breakfast is included and lots of choices for everyone. I'm looking forward to our next trip to Stowe. I know exactly where we'll be staying. Thank you so much for all the great service and amenities. read more

Just ok is how I'd describe my experience here. We were told we were upgraded for free which bothered me right off the bat because I booked a specific room for a reason. Traveling with a smaller child, I didn't want to be above the bowling alley from what I read in all the reviews. And low sure enough, it was loud. Their bowling alley must be the only "attraction" around here because it sure is packed and jamming all night. They ran out of bottles of water on a Friday. The free breakfast is mediocre, we only ate there once and opted for better options the other mornings. We ordered specialty popcorn from the restaurant and it was supposed to be chili garlic gourmet popcorn and it was legit bland, cold plain popcorn. Zero flavor. And for $6 I was expecting way more. Also - the walls are THIN. So if you're traveling with kids and don't want them to hear couples making babies next door, go somewhere else. Lots of choices for lodging in this area. Will choose some place else next time we visit. read more

A fine family hotel. My grandsons would have loved it with the miniature golf course right there across from our room. The rooms are clean and the beds are comfy and important to me is the sheets are soft! They have an indoor pool, small but perfect to just relax and unwind after a day of fun. I also like that is is in walking distance of a number a good placed to eat. Breakfast is standard to most places, nothing special but something you would have at home I like these continental breakfast gives you just enough energy to start the day. I didn't give it 5 stars for a couple of reasons one being they are still using bedspreads i really find them gross, and the rooms are somewhat dated, still a good place for the money. read more

Sun and Ski Inn and Suites - This is in back of our room, it was really low but I imagine when filled it must be awesome! - Hotels Near Me - Stowe, Vermont

I made a reservation through Hotels.com to stay at this property on 1/5/18 through 1/7/18 for a ski trip weekend. However due to adverse weather conditions I reached out to Hotels.com in hopes of cancelling our reservation without penalty due to an actual Blizzard this weekend (Our Governor declared a state of emergency). Per the weather reports Stowe is also expecting to have temperatures in the -15 to -20 degrees which would severely endanger us to make the trip up there from New York City. I was told by Hotels.com that Sun and Ski was refusing to waive the cancellation... this is when we have not even step foot onto the property. I then proceeded to call the property directly in hopes of shedding some light on the situation. I spoke to an employee who was completely unhelpful and apathetic to our concerns stating its "company policy". While I understand company policy there should be exceptions to the rule especially when it can potentially endanger people's lives getting there. I don't know who this person I spoke to is but this is truly unacceptable. He lacked any compassion or courtesy on a human level. Our concerns were met with "that's why you should have bought travel insurance". I couldn't believe the way this company handled the situation in the most obtuse and ignorant way. Luckily Hotels.com was able to get me my refund without any penalty fee's. *EDIT* The owner Rachel called me to apologize and voiced her concerns. They have agreed to waive my cancellation fee's. I have updated my review experience based on her willingness to correct the situation. read more

Pretty good place. It's basically a motor inn style but upgraded and modernized in a very comfortable and tasteful style. Between the two wings of motel type rooms is a central building with larger suite type rooms (we stayed in one of these-very comfortable even for a family with two teenagers that argue a lot). Getting an extra rollaway bed helped. What really sets this place apart is the other feature of the central building, a 6-8 lane bowling alley with bar. Pretty pricey for a family of four to bowl, but just about everything at Stowe is pricey. Location is great too, about halfway between the Mountain and Stowe Village with plenty of dining options all around. Decent (if a bit congested) breakfast included. Shuttle to mountain stops right across the street. Overall just very clean and comfortable. If only we chose a week with better weather for skiing. read more

My boyfriend and I have made Vermont our annual trip. We stayed here last year and fell in love with this hotel and all it has to offer that we decided to stay here again. It's clean, the staff of friendly, good food, bowling and minni golf are always fun. Great location. We will be back here for years to come. read more

Just tried Stowe Bowl, very cool setup, lanes are a little sticky, strings on the pins is very weird? Price for one game, 2 people with shoes was $45 bucks! 20 minutes of bowling after a 45 minute wait was not worth it. Cashier said they charge by the hour when there is a waiting list, no one was behind us. Probably will not go back. read more

I think this hotel is nice enough. The room was update however our beds were very uncomfortable. The breakfast was less than ok so we skipped it the second day. The bowling area was really nice and we enjoyed hanging out in the lounge area. I would probably stay somewhere else the next time I visit but I wouldn't completely rule it out. Loved Stowe and can't wait to visit again next year! read more

Great place we stayed this summer. I just had to post a bad review of another place which always makes me feel bad so I remembered I hadn't reviewed this place so to even things out with the universe I am giving this review albeit I was there in July. The room was immaculate! There was an indoor pool and hot tub that were perfect. It is on a beautiful river AND attached to this awesome fun, funky, amazing bowling alley with amazing food and great attentive service. That's right I said amazing food, at a bowling alley! I highly recommend this place! read more

Amazing!!! Best deal for your money! Michelle was awesome. Great service, super clean. Brand new. Beautiful. Close to the resort. I just love this place. I am so happy I found it. Their customer service is the best ever!!! Not to mention the beds are super comfortable. Nice sheets, mattresses and pilows. Will be back! read more

We were told they had just remodeled the rooms but unfortunately our beds were very uncomfortable. The breakfast was less than desired. All other amenities were nice and the bowling was a fun addition to our stay!! read more

Sun & Ski Inn and Suites cares more about Hotel Policy than it does about the well being and safety of their guests and employees. We are regular visitors to Stowe, VT and decided to give Sun & Ski Inn a try. Unfortunately, during our 4 night stay, my husband became ill (later diagnosed with Covid), so we decided to leave the hotel early. When I requested a refund for the 2 unused nights, I was told that, as per Hotel Policy, refunds are not permitted and this is the risk that the guests must take when they book. It is unfortunate that during these trying pandemic times, the hotel would be willing to expose its staff and other guests to an infected guest because of Hotel Policy. The hotel room was not adequately equipped nor did it have enough space in order to quarantine from my husband, so we decided to leave. We did the right thing by leaving, but they did not do the right thing by us, their employees, and other guests. Avoid this place by all means if you care about your health and well-being. read more

carolyn pretty much hit the nail on the head. so not too much to add. i found the place very clean and very pleasant. Owner Mark was very friendly and accommodating to our requests. thank you! i loved how the rooms have a little back deck off them which steps out on to the amazing backyard and stream area. very pleasant and must be fantastic in the summer. the great room is very cozy and has a nice fireplace. also, i think its great that they allow pets. i dont understand why every hotel doesnt do this. my dog is so much better off getting to go for a nice car ride and a few days away too. all she does is sleep in the room while we are out, kind of like at home. nice that some hotel operators get this. thanks again. read more

My wife and I have stayed at the Sun and Ski for three years running and always have a great time. With so many activities at the hotel, it is very fun. The location is excellent being very near the bike trail and more excellent restaurants than can be enjoyed in just a week. The staff is all very friendly. Days are started off right with complimentary breakfast. read more

so this is just a pre-review, but wow, amazing customer service! my parents had made a reservation for the wrong nights, and they were extremely helpful with changing it. they were friendly, too, i am really excited for them to stay at this place and call it home for a few nights ;) read more

Oh we loved this place. From the river to the pool to the miniature golf to the fresh continental breakfast it was a bit of heaven for us and our 2 dogs. The rooms were spacious, clean, fresh and opened out on to a large grass area. We will be back again and will stay longer. read more

The greatest family-friendly yet sophisticated inn in Stowe! Phenomenal customer service, clean rooms and Matt and Michelle at the Stowe Bowl went completely out of their way to ensure our experience was terrific. We hosted my daughter"s 16th birthday tonight and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. read more

Great location. Clean and new/ updated rooms. The bowling alley is a plus and a hit with the kids. Pool and hot tub are small but adequate. Staff is nice. If you are headed to Stowe stay here and be close to skiing and good food ( walk to piecasso!) Unless your taking the last room then don't stay here and leave the vacancy for us. read more

Very accommodating staff and the rooms were nice and clean. We really enjoyed our stay here. They also had complementary breakfast!

Very nice stay in this clean hotel. Nice warm pool and hot tub and pics of grounds looked great. Polite and helpful staff. Maintenance guy told us big expansion plans are in the works! We will be back if ever in the Stowe area! read more
