Travellers describe The Inn at the Rostay as a clean, simple, good-value base with very easy self check-in, comfortable beds, and a convenient location for Sunday River and Bethel with shops and services close by.
Staff support is frequently described as friendly and responsive by text when needed. The hot tub and outdoor areas are appreciated, though the tub's temperature or servicing has occasionally disappointed. Room comfort is solid but sizes vary, some thin walls and road noise are noted, Wi-Fi reliability is mixed, and there's no on-site breakfast with fewer dining options on some midweek nights. Expect a practical, no-frills stay close to the mountain.

We had absolutely wonderful stay. There was a fresh snowfall the evening we were there and woke up to the most gorgeous scene. We ended up drinking coffee in the hot tub and making snow angels. I can’t thank this place enough.

Excellent value for your dollar. We stayed in a family room. Things we really liked- quiet, nightlight in bathroom, generous space for luggage by bathroom, hot water galore and great shower pressure. Things we didn't like-Double bed with bunk overhead mattress is a bit uncomfortable. Freezer was not usable due to ice build up. And the 'queen' bed was a double. Enjoyed the hot tub too. All in all we would stay here again.

Check in was super easy. Hotel is just out of town, so it is easy to find places to eat without traveling far. Comfortable night's sleep. You have to deal with a little road noise before falling asleep and as you awake, but nothing too bad. My only complaint was that the hot tub was not hot at all, 65 degrees.

Another amazing stay here at the inn at the Rostay. WiFi is super fast. Rooms are clean as always. I got to stay in the L building which has just been fully renovated and was the first person to stay in the amazing renovated rooms. The new hot tub is still new and running great. The rooms now have big flat screen smart TVs finally.

Hot tub well maintained, water 102, could be raised to 104. All jets working. The sink/shower took a long time to heat up. The shower head is HIGH and didn't have enough room to swivel, but if you can reach it, it can be hand held. Communication with staff is by text message. We liked the guest-accessible room with an ice maker, clean towels and amenities like toothpaste and soap.

The property is in a great location for the Sunday River Resort, restaurants near by as well. Quiet and easy process to stay for a short trip on the mountain. Few hairs in the beds, quite sandy in parking lot that tracks into the hard floors, season plays a factor understandably. Overall great stay!

This stay was really enjoyable. We were skiing Sunday River and found this place online. The room was very nicely decorated. There was a bin of garbage that was left from the people who stayed before us but other than that the room was really clean. The staff was really nice and helpful, they don't have an office but rather a phone number that you can call/text and they answer right away. The room was small, although there were two beds, with all of our skiing gear it was a tight fit and couldn't imagine having more than just the two of us staying there but again, for the price it was great! We would definitely stay again and recommend to friends.

Rooms
Rooms are comfortable, with updated decor in some units and options like bunks, but sizes vary and some layouts feel tight. Noise from the road or neighboring rooms and mixed Wi-Fi performance are recurring concerns.

The room was very clean, recently renovated. The bed was very comfortable, we had a problem with the TV but the owner came right over and took care of it. The bathroom was a bit small but met our needs. Table and chairs were too small and the decor seemed cheap. But the bed was the most important part of this stay. We got a good nights sleep. I would stay here again but it would be crowded with 4 people.

WiFi too weak to connect computer. Host was unable to improve the situation during our three night stay. Beds made a lot of noise with movements. Nice medium size frig was positioned in the room as the bed stand and was too noisy to be so close to our heads (had to turn off frog). Disturbing noise came from adjoining storage room (failing up-lift water pump). Stayed at Rostay in the past with no recollection of any issues. I plan to stay elsewhere going forward.

Drive-up motel entrance so we can go in and out of room close to car and not have steps or lobby to contend with. We could bring our ski gear in easily to room. Very clean, everything we needed, great king mattress, hot water, good heat. You do need earplugs because of the truck traffic that downshift in front of motel, and if you are a light sleeper, it could wake you in the early morning.

The Rostay is unique for its absence of staff. We received a text explaining how to check in; the door to our room was left unlocked, and the instructions for checking out, etc. were posted on the wall. The room was well-equipped with extra linens and bedding, a coffeemaker, microwave and refrigerator. The room was furnished with a small dining table and chairs, a desk, beds, and a large area for unpacking and hanging one's clothes. The bathroom was large with a long counter, ideal for laying out one's toiletries. One of the beds was a queen, and the other was a bunk bed with a queen or double on the bottom and a single on top. Each was equipped with a swing-away overhead lamp, and they were comfortable for sleeping. However, the bunk was so low that one constantly was hitting one's head on the edge, and the bedframe flared out and was a danger for stubbed toes, especially in the middle of the night. At this time of year, breakfast is not included, but there are many very good options nearby; The Good Food Store (take-out and groceries) is right next door. The Rostay does not provide housekeeping services during one's stay. (That was fine with us.) Even though we never saw any staff, we did not feel abandoned. We knew help was only a text away, and we felt relaxed and comfortable coming and going as we pleased.

I was sent a message saying I was in room 1 and that the door is unlocked and the key is inside. I showed up only to discover that someone else was already in the room. Strike 1. Then, I get sent to a different room and end up with the neighbors from heck on both sides of my room. They had the tv turned up so loud I could hear it through the walls. I holered to them to turn it down. They called the front desk and complained that I was yelling Strike 2. The front desk called me and threatened to kick me out. I told him why I hollered but he didn't care. So my complaint was totally dismissed. STRIKE 3 I will never stay here again and I don't recommend this terrible place to anyone. I left at 2 a.m.and will never go back.

Although there were some hiccups with the heating in our unit, staff, specifically Colin, was responsive, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure that myself and my family were well taken care of. Some of the best customer service we have ever experienced, including waking up early to ensure that the ground was properly salted in winter to ensure safe passage and frequent check-ins to ensure the quality of our experience.

Great place to stay close to Sunday river, and a 30 second walk to the 1888 barn venue next door. The room was clean and actually had antibacterial hand soap in the bathroom that no hotel ever has for some reason. Great water pressure in the shower as well as heat. The owners were present and friendly. I will be staying here again

I didn't know to check my email for directions. Figured it out when I called the number on the outside of the airbnb then I saw that I had a message. The person who called me back was very nice. Definitely would stay there again

Check in was super easy. Hotel is just out of town, so it is easy to find places to eat without traveling far. Comfortable night's sleep. You have to deal with a little road noise before falling asleep and as you awake, but nothing too bad. My only complaint was that the hot tub was not hot at all, 65 degrees.

The property is in a great location for the Sunday River Resort, restaurants near by as well. Quiet and easy process to stay for a short trip on the mountain. Few hairs in the beds, quite sandy in parking lot that tracks into the hard floors, season plays a factor understandably. Overall great stay!

Great place to stay close to Sunday river, and a 30 second walk to the 1888 barn venue next door. The room was clean and actually had antibacterial hand soap in the bathroom that no hotel ever has for some reason. Great water pressure in the shower as well as heat. The owners were present and friendly. I will be staying here again

We arrived a few hours early for a wedding. they let us right in, no issues at all. The location is perfect for a wedding at the 1888 wedding barn with a lit up path from the hotel to the barn for the wedding. Very friendly staff. Very clean and nicely set up. Will stay again when in Bethel.

Although the property was a no host property, it was easy and convenient finding our room. The hot tub was an added bonus, and the area felt very safe. Great barbecue food truck right by the hotel and a very nice little grocery store along with a Circle K across the street. Just would appreciate having shampoo, conditioner, and body wash that actually worked in the shower.

Très bon service de la part du personnel. Chambre parfaitement propre. Un grand garde-robe, une table et un petit réfrigérateur: pratique! J'y retournerais sans hésiter.

Check-in was quick and the family that own it were friendly and helpful. Our room was very comfortable and had a nice rustic cabin feel. We only stayed one night so it was perfect for our needs. The only disappointment was that they weren’t serving breakfast, which we were looking forward to. The area was very nice. We would recommend this inn if you’re in the area.

The Rostay is unique for its absence of staff. We received a text explaining how to check in; the door to our room was left unlocked, and the instructions for checking out, etc. were posted on the wall. The room was well-equipped with extra linens and bedding, a coffeemaker, microwave and refrigerator. The room was furnished with a small dining table and chairs, a desk, beds, and a large area for unpacking and hanging one's clothes. The bathroom was large with a long counter, ideal for laying out one's toiletries. One of the beds was a queen, and the other was a bunk bed with a queen or double on the bottom and a single on top. Each was equipped with a swing-away overhead lamp, and they were comfortable for sleeping. However, the bunk was so low that one constantly was hitting one's head on the edge, and the bedframe flared out and was a danger for stubbed toes, especially in the middle of the night. At this time of year, breakfast is not included, but there are many very good options nearby; The Good Food Store (take-out and groceries) is right next door. The Rostay does not provide housekeeping services during one's stay. (That was fine with us.) Even though we never saw any staff, we did not feel abandoned. We knew help was only a text away, and we felt relaxed and comfortable coming and going as we pleased.

The staff was attentive and provided all the information I needed. I would recommend this location. The area in general is lacking in service and experience in the off season.

The Jacuzzi was very nice and I met the cleaning lady and we had a great conversation. It’s great to see someone loved their job and the people they worked for.
