We stayed at the Common Man for two nights, midweek.
We arrived a little earlier than expected, and though we couldn't get early check-in (we didn't ask in advance and even so they apologized that the room was not ready for us). When we did return the check-in was prompt and easy (just be sure to have you license and car info ready). The room was clean and spacious. The TV was not working, and someone came within about 15-20 minutes to resolve the issue. The hot tub was great for apres-ski soaking. The continental breakfast was nice - the muffins (especially the chocolate ones) were delicious. We didn't feel like walking far after skiing, so we ate at the restaurant both nights. The first night the food was mediocre. The next night we both really enjoyed our meals and drinks. Lots of puzzles & games in the lobby area - we got hooked in by a puzzle the first night and stayed up way too late trying to finish it but we got it done before we left! Claire, the lobby cat, supervised our progress (though we think she may have been responsible for the missing pieces!). While working on the puzzle we overheard other guests checking in & out, and it definitely seems like they have regular clients and give them that extra personal touch. It has the charm and character of a quaint family-style Inn, with the amenities of a larger hotel. Only minor negative was off-site parking, which was a short walk away (though it was nice to have the garage to keep snow off!)
