I was not looking forward to the long travel with feelings of trepidation after reading all the bad reviews this hotel has received. When we arrived the staff were waiting on the door to great us, they took us into a room for a welcome meeting where they welcomed us warmly and explained a few rules of the hotel. One... More

This is our 2nd annual ski tour from the UK to Waterville Valley staying at the Snowy Owl inn. I've organised many school skiing trips to Europe and the Snowy Owl far exceeds the standards of comparable hotels in France, Austria and Italy. The rooms on both visits were clean and warm. The maids made the beds, vacuumed daily and... More

We are in the middle of our stay with a school group. I stay in hotels with school groups regularly and I have never been looked after so well. Everything is so well organised. As for armed guards, I've not seen them....but then the groups that are here don't need policeing...maybe complainants need to think about their behaviour. Rooms are... More

The good part is ....a great location...but that is where it ends. It really could be a wonderful place. The layout is really family friendly. Could be is the key word. The "Inn" is very old and warn. Carpets are torn, windows do not keep out the cold the linens are old and worn. There are not any updated televisions.... More

The comment below is true. There are officers with weapons at 3 locations...atleast in WV. However the argument below is flawed. If there is a circumstance where a child is anywhere near the weapon, maybe that's why they need it. Shouldn't you monitor your child? Also, there are several bars in the area; this means intoxicated people around your children... More

The horrible reviews are all true. Don't stay here. I can deal with the dirty rooms. I can deal with ridiculous rules. I can deal with bad food. I can't tolerate two deputy dogs patrolling the halls, literally, with guns in holsters like they are walking the beat in a crime ridden neighborhood. What exactly are the guns for??? Under... More

There is always a first and the Snowy Owl Inn takes the cake. Don't let the name fool you. It may sound like a cozy / nice place to stay but its far from it. The staff seems to make it a point to be as nasty and unhelpful as possible. The Inn also hires police officers to walk and... More

We stayed at the Snowy Owl Inn for New Year's Eve ski weekend. There are no "ski-in, ski-out" accomodations at Waterville Valley. This location was excellent. There is a cute little shopping complex right next door - and a nice indoor ice skating rink. The Inn was lit-up with white lights on the outside...all wood...very very cozy inside. The lobby...

The Snowy Owl Inn is located in the heart of Waterville Valley, close to a few shops and restaurants and about a mile from the slopes. We stayed there in the off, off season, early November, so the hotel was about 98% empty. We arrived late, about 7:45pm, and the lobby was empty of personnel and mostly dark. I called... More

We arrived on Friday afternoon for the NH Highland games. These were very last Minute reservations and we were lucky to find a room. The suite we stayed in was roomy, relatively clean and well stocked with dishes, utensils, and cookware for someone staying with a group or family. There is a nice gas fireplace in thea living roomin as... More
