Our second stay at this Wingate location this weekend was a huge success. Let's talk COVID first:…read morethey are doing a great job with regulations, cleaning, and adhering to policies set forth by NYS. Hand sani at every turn and I didn't see a single unmasked person throughout my stay. I should also note that the hotel was only at a third capacity, so we really didn't see much of anyone other than the staff throughout our one night stay. We felt safe and at home throughout, and this hotel put cleanline at top priority even before the pandemic. Onto more fun stuff! The staff here is top notch. So friendly and helpful and a pleasure to interact with. We brought our dog, Freddy Sue, this time around, and I would absolutely recommend this hotel to fellow dog owners looking to take their pup to a dog friendly town. It is a $70 charge which is steep, but was worth it to us in terms of peace of mind, especially with the off peak rate of this hotel on a Saturday to Sunday being $140. The beds are SO comfortable and I had such an awesome night's rest. Of course, the location cannot be beat. In the non-COVID times, we bopped from restaurant to restaurant drinking our way through the town and it was amazing to be able to come right back to the center of town as home base. For the price and guaranteed positive experience, I doubt we will ever stay anywhere else when we come to visit Ellicottville. Happy exploring!

First, they are in the middle of renovations so I can appreciate that. But, the room was 450.00…read moreand included breakfast. The room was laid out wrong with a tv above a fake fireplace and a couch about 6 feet away meaning you had to look up to watch tv. As for the breakfast, it is cool food like vending machine muffins and bulk cereal. No hot food or waffle maker. Even the orange juice was little per-filled sealed cups like it came from a hospital cafeteria. They are remodeling the lobby but they should be doing something with the dated rooms. No charging stations and the couch was old and ratty. We will not be back to this place. UPDATE: I complained on my survey and was contacted by a customer service representative and they gave the company response "sorry for your bad experience we will try hard" which I replied, typical response, I don't believe you even read my additional comments. I said that there was a time when customers were compensated for bad experiences but now it is , we got your money, sorry. About a hour later a got a reply that half my money was being refunded. So at least they are trying so I changed my rating to 2 stars for the effort.

Last year, we had multiple fruit loops stuck to our shower curtain.. Like neon green cereal (I get things can be missed but this was so obvious) This year, someone's used contacts were in the same shower & also candy wrappers / garbage under the beds. The lights in the one bedroom just didn't work. It's humorous at this point. This place is such an ideal location, which is why we continue to come back, but the hotel is in serious need of renovations & a new cleaning crew.

They have an amazing pool area where you can purchase day passes for 20 bucks per adult and kids are even cheaper. They also have summer passes. I was told you have to book it the day before for weekend day passes but during the week you may be able to do it last minute. The servers from the restaraunt come right up to your lounge chairs if you want to order drinks/food. You are not allowed to bring in your own alcohol but we brought our own food and no one yelled at us. I will say it was difficult to find 5 lounge chairs together so maybe plan to get there early if you have a big group and it's the weekend.

"Breakfast" would be a stretch with a couple cereals and some prepackaged breads. Half the tables and chairs at breakfast because owner said they were broken. Even a broken chair in our closet. Breakfast starts at 8...sharp. In a town with a ski resort where the resort opens at 8:30. Why it doesn't start 2 hours before the slopes starts I don't understand. Talked to another unhappy guest who arrived at 1:30. Check-in not until 3 and they asked if they could just change in their room (after owner determined it was ready) and they told him it would be $35. Absolutely ridiculous. Will NEVER be back. Used to stay here all the time under the old owners and these new owners couldn't care less about the guest. Just cutting costs and making sure every extra penny is captured from the guest. Good riddance.

After reading mixed reviews, I wasn't sure what to expect staying here for the first time. However,…read moreI was pleasantly surprised! The rooms were much larger than a typical hotel room, there was a ski storage locker right outside the room (with tile floors and a bench right when you walk in to keep all your messiness "out" of the room), and there was a mini-fridge in the room (great for all the snacks needed for a good ski day)! On the downside, there was no microwave- how do you have a minifridge but no microwave?! We were also glad we brought our own breakfast, as the continental breakfast was pretty sad- I'm sure most people could find something if you don't mind eating a bunch of prepackaged food...the only eggs they had were hardboiled. The best part? Depending on when you go, they offer two lift tickets from 3pm the day you arrive until 4:30pm the day of your departure. The room pretty much pays for itself with this deal. This coupled with the excellent service from the staff and the oversized room make it a 4 star review!

That was really nice. Pool was open but way too cold for our liking. Would I come back maybe? But maybe at one if the other hotels. Employees were courteous and helpful.

Since there is no night skiing available the snow isn't super packed down. The staff was attentive, helpful and friendly. Since this is a private club it definitely feels like it's own community and seems very family oriented. When I have gone there aren't wild and rowdy teens which is a plus. The good news is that on weekdays anyone can buy a pass to check out this awesome place. You can buy online to get a small discount. I have only gone during the week and there haven't been serious crowds or lines. I am not sure about the weekends but since it's members only I'm sure it's not nearly as busy as some of the other local public resorts. The lodges are cozy and accommodating. There is now a cafeteria here in the main lodge which has plenty to choose from. You are also free to bring your crockpots or picnic style lunches to enjoy. There are tons of indoor and outdoor seating options, many large grills for anyone to use and a cool fire pit to sit and relax. There are rentals, lessons and a specialty adaptive ski program available. During covid masks were worn inside and outside and this was enforced by staff. Hand sanitizing stations were set up all over. There was also a large, outdoor, well ventilated tent this year to provide extra seating during covid. Another fun perk that makes this place unique is there are many gorgeous homes on the hills and around the trails. It's fun to see them when you are on the lift and skiing down the hills.

Holiday Valley is the best "local" ski resort (in my case local means a 3 hour drive each way). I…read moream willing to make the drive since Holiday Valley provides a great ski day. The resort has 750 feet of vertical, but it skies much bigger than that, the large variety of slopes and challenges provides a rich experience. Parking at Holiday Valley is free, but on a busy day you may have a bit of a walk, especially if you are heading to the Main Lodge, but you can park at one of the other 2 base lodges, they are smaller but still very nice. My biggest complaint at the Main Lodge is that you will encounter a couple of sets of stairs to get to the slopes. Inside the lodge there are plenty of seating, bathrooms, rentals, ski shops and the usual ski lodge food. The Tannenbaum Lodge does provide a couple of rooms where you can leave your bags and bring your own food, which is very convenient. From the Main Lodge you have 2 primary lift choices, Cindy's Quad and the Mardi Gras Express; both keep the lines moving at a good pace and allow you access to the rest of the resort. The lift system overall works well to keep you moving and the lines at a reasonable level. This year Holiday Valley has gone to a RFID lift ticket which was a bit challenging to find the right location for the card to consistently activate the gates, once I figured it out it was pretty smooth. Holiday Valley offers plenty of challenge and with its location in the lake effect snow belt it usually gets great snow coverage. On my recent day trip I found the skiing better than my earlier trip to Lake open runs like Mardi Gras to rollicking narrower trails through the woods. The Black trails are always welcome with Champagne, Yodeler and Edelweiss usually worth multiple runs. Typically, 1 or 2 of these will have one side groomed and the other side moguls. There are plenty of glade tree skiing runs and a couple of terrain parks off of the Morningstar Express Lift. They even have a Double Black Diamond run, although it was not open this trip. For my most recent visit I took advantage of the Cabin Fever Days promotion to get a $25 lift ticket at selected ski shops; plenty of other people also took advantage of the promotion so it was busy for a Tuesday. Conditions were great, almost the whole resort was open. After a nice morning of skiing the Blue and Black runs, I did feel so good that I skied some of the moguls and took a few runs through the Happy Glades which is the first time I have been tree skiing in several years. I also did take a short midday stop at the Tannenbaum Lodge for a quick warm up. Holiday Valley consistently receives high marks as one of the best resorts in the East, it also gets more skier visits than any other resort in New York. I have been skiing Holiday Valley for more than three decades and I always have a great time. The drive there and back can be challenging at times, but that just means the resort is getting plenty of snow. If you are looking for a great day of skiing Holiday Valley should be on your list. In addition, the town of Ellicottville is a charming ski town and Salamanca offers a full-service Casino and resort.

There are miles of well maintained sidewalks in this town for easy dog walking. The pet friendly separate guest rooms seem to be far enough away from the rest of the inn to buffer any barking or dog noise, but when we were concerned about going to dinner and leaving the dog - the owners offered to text us if there were any real noise issues. They took the worry out of leaving the dog alone in the room, which made our stay more enjoyable. We will definitely stay here again.
