Top hotels in West Branch

Stoweflake Mountain Resort & Spa
Didn't realize we booked a hotel room outside of the hotel (was not connected to main building). Was more of a motel. Housekeeping only came once halfway through our scheduled stay so our garbage piled up. Condition of the facilities was old and tired. Feels like the financial health of the resort ...

Beautiful resort! Would love to come back during ski season! Not all the shops were open while we were there which was understandable considering it was off season.
