Cortina Inn disaster

[BeanoNYC]

I always stay at the Happy Bear on the access rd, not fancy, lots of history and nice people.

I liked the owners but I heard that it was sold. Any word on the new owners. Man...Happy Bear sure could talk up a storm. I like it because it's cheap and I can stumble home from the bar at the Garlic!

We spent 2 nights this weekend at Cortina Inn. It was worth $59 including buffet breakfast, although we were hoping to use the pool:

It is as GREEN as you see it on the photo, I could not see the bottom.
Needless to say, we did not swim in that. Some people did - they must have never seen a clean swimming pool.

From someone who was a pool engineer at a younger age, looks like either filtration problem (or lack thereof) or too many chemicals added to cloud things up....either way, not good.

Killington is lame. Let's move on. I feel like these conversations hurt our group kharma.

I found this rather amusing. When I saw the thread on this forum (Alpine Zone), I thought it was about a serious event in Cortina, Italy.

I stayed at the Cortina Inn extensivly in the late 80's and into the late 1990's and the service used to be par none in Killington. Snow would be cleaned off of your car in the morning after a storm and we used to get a welcome back gift package in our room when we returned for the season and the food was excellent.

We last stayed there in November of 2005 and the inn was not up to the same service level as before. Snow was not plowed in the parking lot, a friend of mine actually got stuck, and this was 1 day after a storm. The food was not quite as good, but still decent and the rooms in the old wing where starting to show there age with worn out carpet in our room and a malfunctioning T.V.

The old owners where Bob and Brenda Harnish and since they sold the inn around 2001?, service slide downhill.

Killington is lame too.. so is the Cortina inn.. The important thing is to know that the suck separately. This was almost another Killington bashing thread but turned out that for once it wasn't their fault.

I have to agree with BlueHill-- send me to Italy, as opposed to K-Mart. At least no one is spelling the inn "Cortinna" in the posts anymore. Ski jobs are not a labor of love, they are a labor of necessity. Do it if you have to, and stick it out to earn your turns!!
