Stowe, its not me, its you.

Stowe, its not me, its you.
We were extremely excited for this visit - 11 years after our last, which made the overall disappointment so much more bitter. TL;DR - keep driving to Tremblant.
We were looking forward to the new facilities and hotels. It started great. Good reception after the long foggy and rainy drive. The room was tiny. Even though it was supposed to be a studio - it was smaller than most normal hotel rooms we have stayed in. Traveling with our 9 year old - once we pulled out the couch, there was barely room to step on.
The ridiculously icy conditions on the mountain with the wind hold on half the lifts including the gondola while asking for $130/day tickets was pretty ridiculous. But at least the hot tub was good.
And then the phone in the room didn't work and there was no maid service. We asked the front desk. They checked and said they will send someone right up. Nothing. We asked again the next day nothing. We checked out today and they told us we 'rented from a thrid party provider' and had to call some special number??? Even if that was the case - for 3 days we had no trash pickup, towels.... even a phone!
Beyond the vallet/bell boys - the staff was not helpful in the least - especially the hosts in the restaurant.
We checked out a day early even though we had prepaid... We may see you in 11 years again, Stowe. But I won't shed a tear if we just never do.
