    Pull out couch with paraphernalia

    Although the wedding we attended was beautiful, we had trouble with our room. While putting my two small children to bed, we found a lighter, pill and a device for smoking underneath the couch cushion. We were given another room, but due to the hazardous material found, we requested a partial refund for the one night. If my children had some in contact with those items, they could have been seriously hurt. Management ignored my first correspondence, and only replied when I added other departments to the email. Even so, they by passed any comments of a refund and told me they can assure me the room was cleaned properly. My response was that if it was cleaned properly, we would not have found drug paraphernalia in our room. For a hotel that does so well, one night refunded shouldn't be an issue. DRUGS were found in our room with two children staying there. This is utterly disgusting behavior by the management. Who knows what we would have found if we unfolded the couch in its entirety... this is NOT properly cleaned and this is NOT safe.

    I grew up about a mile away from this hotel. I haven't lived in the area for decades but I come back to visit relatives, family reunions etc. The wife and I always stay here. Here's why. The Colonial Hotel is a basic mid-level hotel. Not mid-level in quality but in type. Not the Four seasons but not a Super 8 either. It has all the basics. Nice rooms of the usual types. An indoor pool and Jacuzzi. A bar that often has bands on the weekend. A decent restaurant. By the way, this is also a pet friendly hotel. This may be the cleanest hotel I have ever experienced. Everything is spotless from the rooms to the rugs in the hallways. The bathrooms are amazingly clean. The Colonial is not a chain but is privately owned. As a result the staff has a different, and exceptional outlook on customer service. You really feel appreciated. It you are traveling to central Massachusetts this is a great place to spend a night or two!

    Beginner review: If you're new to skiing, I'd highly…read morerecommend the beginners package (~$150) which honestly was totally worth the price tag. It included an excellent lesson (shout out to my instructor Jason), decent rentals (notably the boots were nice and warm), and access to 2 easy slopes and a lift with 2 green slopes for practice. Once you scan the lift ticket, it's active for 4 hours which is plenty of time to get some skiing in. If you're new to this and want to get good, plan on taking more than one lesson. Not sure if it helps but I'll share my progression over one full day of skiing: It'd been 20 years since I skied, so I joined the morning lesson with the first timers and could ski down the bunny slopes comfortably by the end. I took another lesson the same day and was skiing down the green trails without any issues, although not the most efficiently (skis mostly but not always parallel). The facilities were clean and with everything you might need, hot food, drinks, a store, bonfires, wifi, a decent amount of locker space, and a very large area for rentals. It felt very safe, and everyone I interacted with was friendly. Parking wasn't an issue either. Overall, I enjoyed the lessons and my experience skiing at Wachusett, and I'd definitely go again!

    Awful customer service! Will never go back. We went for years prior to this experience…read more The mountain was jam packed and making snow when we went with a party of 8. We took one lift and the snow conditions were terrible. They were making snow late in the season and there were mounds in the middle of the trails with countless people falling. Customer service promised us comped tickets for next time we returned. I emailed a man named Chris Stimpson. He confirmed the 8 lift tickets to be comped on our next visit. When we reached out the next season to receive the tickets Chris told us they would not be honored despite sharing the emails. We will not return to Wachusett after this experience and being promised something via email and then not following through
