For $100 or less, The Pine Hill Arms would be kind of reasonable. For $158 ($176 including taxes) it is 2 star. The good - great location - Pine Hill is great. The bad - we stayed in a Queen and the bathroom was not only small but falling apart / very bad workmanship. The common areas are not clean and the place where they leave coffee / bagels is dark with no windows. There are cables in hallways that are definitely not up to code and no AC in room. We were the only ones there and didn’t see anyone the whole time (no staff). Bar and Restaurant closed but not mentioned on the website. This place needs to be taken over by someone who really cares for it - it is a great property but it’s been let to go bad

Probably the worst hotel experience of my life. Stayed in February and the was NO hot water and NO heat. Went to bed in winter clothes and woke up sick. Terrible mattress and stained. Incredibly small space (and we live in NYC and know small spaces). The bathroom was so narrow my husband could not fit through the door without turning sideways with his shoulder width. If you are overweight in the slightest you could not use the toilet! No toiletries (peaked in another room and there was some must have forgot to restock ours). Very uncomfortable and sketchy overall. Bar and restaurant closed for season so could not comment on that.

We have been staying here for four years. The owners are really nice, and rooms while a little cramped, are clean

Our family has been staying at the Pine Hill Arms for the past four years. Our kid is on the Belleayre ski team - so it is such a gift to have a clean, affordable option like the Pine Hill Arms SO close to the mountain. We stay almost every weekend during ski season.
The staff, Peter (and previously Jane), are very kind and go above and beyond to make our stays smooth.
The hotel is older (as mentioned in another review), but everything (rooms, lobby, linens) is super clean. The beds are comfortable, you can sit by the fire in the lobby after skiing, and the town of Pine Hill is very cute. The hotel's restaurant is closed right now (such a bummer - it was really really good), but hopefully they'll find a new operator.

We booked this hotel for 2 nights for a skiing weekend at Belleayere Mountain. We ended up staying only one night and paying extra to book a different place for the second night. The carpet is thin and dingy, the place has an odor, and the rooms are below average. There was no hot water. And the bed was so uncomfortable - felt like an air mattress. The only plus point was that it was a 5 min drive from the ski mountain. For just a little more money, you can book a room at one of the many nicer bed and breakfasts in the area.

Omg, worst hotel we have ever stayed at! The building is so old and fragile, the floors are all crooked and uneven by literally 3-5 inches difference. I have no idea how this building passed inspection to be in business. There are tons of big gigantic flies inside the rooms. So gross 🤮 !! One of the rooms we book has no heat in winter, have to rely on portable heater. I just couldn’t imagine such hotel exits.

We came from Raleigh, NC. I had such a difficult time trying to find a place to stay. My fiance was coming to see his youngest daughter graduate from High-school. He has not seen her in 14 years. We needed something decent that was close to Roxbury NY. I booked a room at this establishment. I was contacted shortly after my booking. I did inform that we were coming from NC. We were definitely not going to make 6pm check in. I was told that was not a problem and the door would be open for us. We experienced more traffic than expected. I called multiple times and left a message. I did receive a call back. I let a female know we were going to arrive even later then we expected. I was told that was already expected and the door would be left open. I didn't have any worries until we arrived. Locked. I called the number and we were told once again it was supposed to be unlocked and available for us to get in. We had to wait to have the owner? Let us in. 20 ,30 minutes later. We have been in the car a very long time. Do not trust the pictures. I know in the agreement 7 days before. I couldn't stay here. I wish, I was offered something for their mishap, but was only offered complementary coffee as the door hits me in the butt. I'm at a loss with nothing to make up for the 2 extra days I paid for. Really? I understand the policy, but ... Great way to welcome guests by making them feel unwelcome.

This hotel is really going to be a flying hit or a dreadful miss depending on each person's taste. If you like older buildings, history, rustic living - this place was quite interesting. However, if you're indoorsey, non adventurous, and like the frills of a large room & this is not for you. Hotel has no typical amenities (tv, fridge, microwave), does have ac, soap/shampoos, coffee in lobby. No phone service in the town made it difficult to find restaurants & things to do - this was also true of surrounding towns (you're in the mountains, duh). As a "not social butterfly" we enjoyed self check in. Overall, if you're easy going and just need a place to sleep between your hikes, this place is a good option. If you want fancy, this is not for you.

Food & drinks: Great cozy friendly atmosphere, even better food!
My wife and I loved an affordable, comfy, and clean place to stay while we skied at Belleayre. Coffee in the AM was great and were total coffee snobs! We used to frequent this area several years ago and a few things have since closed down, meaning you’ll need to drive over to Arkville for general supplies. Most places nearby seemed to open around 8am and close on the earlier side. Although we visited during the week and saw that they would make you breakfast on the weekend.Expect traditional Catskills lodging.We’ve eaten at the tavern in the past and it was great. Didn’t make it on our last visit.

Where's WeeWoo
No frills and close to the mountains. There is no service really, we didn’t interact with any staff the 2 nights we stayed there. Our shower didn’t have a shower head which we noted on a sheet of paper when we left. The walls are very thin and we could hear the groups next to us discussing crack cocaine at 1 in the morning ?

The restaurant and the comfy bed was the best part of our stay!! I will admit it’s my fault I didn’t notice that it stayed that all room are on the 2nd and 3rd floors but their stairs are insanely narrow. We chose the double room and that’s pretty much what it was…. A double bed with a sink and an end table. Then what looked to be an old closet was the shower and toilet. The whole room was at a slant and to sit on the toilet was very tight to say the least as well as the toilet having the same lean. Again, the bed was super comfy and my hubby and I were forced to chat as there wasn’t a tv in our room oh, and no phone. The walls are paper thin as you could hear the people not only talking next to us but below us too!
We are at the restaurant downstairs which was amazing and if you’ve had the fried chicken, I don’t need to say anymore, it’s fantastic! The lady that checked us in was nice also.
I will make sure to read all amenities and look more closely at room pictures.
Quiet country inn.
