Cozy cabin feel.
Rimfire is a dump. Sad that the money is being re-invested back into the buildings. The room photos are misleading and the staff is not friendly at all! Seems the owners are aware that college students are staying there and are taking advantage of the situation. Parking in bad in the parking garage.
This place looks like it is straight out of the 70's. It looks like it once had that cabin appeal but it's never been updated since. My particular room was only partially cleaned; there was a half cup of coffee, a half full coffee pot and an almost empty glass of water on the table when we first checked into the room. Pretty off-putting.
Also, the hot tub bleached our bathing suits and made our legs itch/burn.WAY too much chlorine or other chemicals. Unfortunately the front desk didn't seem to care that our bathing suits were ruined.
The upside is that you are right in the village and are close to plenty of things to do.
We had a terrible experience at Rimfire. We love Snowshoe, but will never stay at one of the Snowshoe managed properties again. The toilet overflowed and it was several hours before we were moved to another room. We had to find a public restroom to utilize. And we were told to stay by the phone in the room and wait for a call about a new room. When we were moved, it was to the other side of the building. We had to change lockers for all our ski equipment and we missed at least two hours of skiing. The fireplace didn't work in the new room, but we were just too over it to complain. The staff person at Allegheny Springs where we had to pick up our new room key was extremely rude and I heard her talking about a guest who called for additional towels while I was waiting. When we ultimately requested some kind of credit through a manager for Snowshoe rental properties, we never received a call back as promised.
Don't waste your money.
The location to the slopes is the best part of this hotel. The apartment-style suites with fully stocked kitchens and a spacious living area brings a home-y feel. The ease of access to the parking garage and Starbucks is also clutch.
There is no front desk or reception area. The rooms need maintenance ( tv cables all over wall, drywall cracked/busted, TV mount is broke) TV over fireplace is grainy and cable reception was poor. Had guitar picks on floor and previous guests phone chargers left on floor. There was no soap in bathroom to wash hands. Had to call and ask for some. I guess this is why it's only 3 stars? For 200 plus a night this place is nothing more than a Days Inn with a fireplace. Not impressed!
