North Franklin hotel rooms a the Independent

"Was a very pleasant experience."

"Our reason for staying here was not because we were interested in the Sugarloaf Mountain area, but because it was the only hotel we could find for that night of our trip. ~ So, I would recommend it to anyone interested in all that Sugarloaf Mtn. has to offer. It's a beautiful hotel. We at dinner at the "45 North" restaurant located in the hotel because we didn't want to drive around looking for somewhere else, BUT order was very tasty, especially for the prices. ~ We didn't use any other amenities, but I'm sure they're top-notched. ~ We would not stay there again, because it was located out of our way and way too above our budget. Again, though, if someone likes what Sugarloaf Mtn. has to offer, I would highly recommend. "

"Not too many food options while we were there in April. "

"The reception area was warm and inviting. So easy to get to room and store skis on same level as snow access. It made it so comfortable and easy for the first time on the mountain. The restaurant had a happy feeling and great food and prices. It is not brand new but the place, you go to relax and meet others. Free parking and on shuttle route."
