It was a cute, quaint, and cozy inn, converted from the original 1830 town post office and general store. This was a pleasant surprise, as we had not known this before booking. The room had a great Casper mattress and MyPillows, which made for good sleeping. However, the room was also a bit drafty and very dry. There was also no cell service there, which did make the stay a little unpleasant. However, if you are looking for a place to really get away and off the grid, this is a really quaint old inn with friendly staff.

You should complain to your service provider if you did not have service here, we don't provide cell service only rooms. And yes the air in Vermont is cold and dry in the winter.

I pulled up in the evening to a very confusing sign not sure where to park and was scolded I was in the wrong area from a guy through a window upstairs. I went in to The laby no one downstairs at 9 PM called hello and no one to greet me finally looked around and found my name with a K went upstairs to my room 2 AM outside hallway noisy creaky lots of people leaving I thought it might be early morning for breakfast but it was not. Another grouping around 8 AM noisy I finally got up at nine and went downstairs to know people … There was no one in the lobby again to say goodbye only a note to drop your key into a locked box I never saw a person anywhere on site not even a small station for coffee or tea.

The parking lots are very clearly marked, you probably pulled in to the neighbors lot that has 3 do not enter signs in their driveway to avoid our guests pulling in to their lot. Its very frustrating for them when people ignore the signs and just pull in to their lot

False advertising
This rustic, dormitory style "hotel" was advertised as 12 miles from Rutland, VT on Hotels.com. The mileage from Rutland on my car was almost double that. A representative at the "hotel" said that Expedia was responsible for the advertisement and the information about location was not the responsibility of the "hotel". I did not know that Hotels.com is owned by Expedia. What say you, Hotel.com?

We are 12 miles from rutland as the crow flies. The map information is provided by the site you booked on not by us. All we provide is an address. To leave us a poor review based on things beyond our control shows exactly what is wrong with the review system.

It was just rather sad as I was the only one at the Inn due to it being end of ski season. There was no breakfast; a v nice Colombian was care taking the Inn. But the room was sweet - all wooden with Nice clean ironed sheets, very comfortable Bed and nice clean white towels. I would stay again. Caroline.

Solidly Ok Hotel
The hotel itself is fine - comfy bed, good wifi, working televisions. There's nothing around the hotel, so you will have to drive to get to anywhere (food/bars/etc.), but that's just the nature of the area I think. There seems to be one proprietor, and he met us at 1am to give us our keys, so that was nice. If you're looking for a basic hotel to stay kind of near Okemo, Salt Ash Inn is a solidly ok choice.

Great stay at Salt Ash!
Very friendly, comfortable accommodations. The Inn is old, so expect yester-year charm. There was a heavy snowstorm 1 night, and it was a bit of work to get our cars dug out of the parking spots in the morning, but once we dug out, the roads were plowed and we were off to Okemo. Having access to a refrigerator in the communal dining space was great for storing a few breakfast & lunch items. The bar closed early each night, but not a huge deal.

Affordable place to stay near Killington, Okemo
This is a great place to stay near both Killington (7 miles to Skyeship base) and Okemo (10 miles to Jacson Gore base) ski resorts. The room was spacious and clean. Check in was a a little funky - the key is waiting for you inside a reception area accessed via the bar, but was fine. The parking was a little confusing: the spaces are behind the main building (the owner prefers that you not park in "front" of the building - we only paid attention to the signs after we had turned into the private lot - sorry!). The price was very competitive compared to other places in the area. Great experience; would definitely stay there again.

Was as expected for the most part. Roon was advertised w fireplace but the room we got had none. Cleanliness for the room was good. However the place overall seemed like a work in progress. There was a defunct appearing bar downstairs that had a mattress laying on a pool table. Wind storm came through in the night. Power out. No generator. Back up. Not the end of the world but coupled with the gunshots that were heard earlier, the noise of the wind storm and the total darkness we were now in it was the perfect setup for a scary movie plot. A fee screams from down the hall would have made it just perfect. Overall none of this would stop me from from going again. All the weirdness just made my lady snuggle closer 😁. She might not feel the same about a return trip. But shes a city girl so......... Enjoy your stay, maybe the bar will be up and running by the time you get there.

Do not stay here!
I normally love staying at B&Bs and little places like this, but this one was the exception. This place looks as though it is falling apart- extremely run down and not kept up. The front porch uneven and sagging. I would have been ok with that, but when I went into my room it was even worse. The smell in the hallway was fresh but the room itself smelled musty. The bed linens had not been changed and were covered in dark hairs and had stains. It was disgusting. There was a closet in the corner of the room covered with a blanket- inside were dirty pillows and linens that smelled like urine. The bathroom was large and appeared clean, but the tub had a giant crack in the bottom. The tub had a clear bath mat glued on top of the crack to prevent leakage, but I felt like it could give way. There was a thermostat in the room with a sign saying not to adjust the temperature and you could not adjust it at all. The temperature dipped down low that night and it was freezing in there with no way to heat it up. No breakfast offered. No cell service in the area, but they did have wifi. The owner seemed nice but I only saw him once when I checked in. The owner reserves the front parking lot for himself so I had to walk farther with all of my bags to my room. Keypad locks on the outer doors were broken so anyone could have gotten in, did not feel safe.

We had to leave the hotel immediately because there’s were 40 dead bugs on the bedspread, when we feel the bedspread back they were 20 dead bugs on the top sheet when we peeled the topsheet back there was 15 dead bugs on the under sheet. The guy around the hotel was friendly and said he would change the sheets for us but at that point we had seen enough.

Very misleading
Pub is closed most of the year, which I learned when I called the desk inside of the inn. The upstairs is very hot in the summer - a small a.c. unit would have made a huge difference. Not a very pleasant stay overall.

SALT ASH INN DISASTER FOR THIS TRAVELER
Never Again. After 5 hours of driving to visit the Coolidge Homestead, I stopped at 5pm at Salt Ash Inn. I parked in small gravel lot in front of Inn but was disturbed by signs saying Private Property do not enter. On other side of hotel is a small patch of dirt like a walking path and another sign in front of garage that also says NO Parking. I figure Id go inside and ask. There was no one to ask. A sign was left for me welcoming me and a key to my room. No One was at the Inn...the bar had chairs up on table. On my welcome note was a number to call if I had questions. I dialed number and I was then asked for an access code. I was very angry and hungry. I walked outside to my car and saw 2 young men coming out of a barn like structure which I thought was attached to the Inn. I asked if they worked at the Salt Ash Inn and they said No and informed me the Inn was closed for the season and told me I could not park where I did. I asked "Where am I supposed to park?" and they said they didn't know, but I can't park there. So I am out the 74 dollars I paid for the room because I was not going to stay if I could not even be sure of where I could park and staying in what seemed like an abandoned place. VERY DISAPPOINTED is an under statement.

It's a 200 year old building in VT. The heating design for the building is to get the building up to 68 degrees when it is -20 outside. We do not heat empty rooms and unused space. It's part of being eco friendly and being able to offer rooms at affordable prices.
