Would stay again.
The steps still had snow on them. The people in the next room continued to make noise well into the night. Overall, except for noisy neighbors, the stay was fine. The check in was, for us, unique and worked well. We would stay there again and hope for a quieter night.

Unique DIY Experience
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.

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.

Nice room!
The room had recently been remodeled and was really cute for a motel. The owners texted us as they said they would to tell us what to do upon arrival. It was a pleasant overnight stay.

Very basic room. Loved the pine trees. Zero contact with the owners except for a text to say where to find a key. Couldn't find the ice machine.
