www.blackbearlodgenh.com with 107 different hotel suites that each include a full kitchen and sleeping for up to six, (four is a more realistic number), is the HOCKEY HOTEL in Waterville Valley. Located about a 250-yard walk from the ice rink, it is used by different Canadian hockey teams from New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, New Found Land, Prince Edward Island, Ontario, and Quebec all throughout the summer.
Most groups load up on groceries at Hannaford's in Plymouth, 20-miles away, at Rt 93-Exit 26, on the way to Exit 28-Waterville Valley, and then cook-it-themself in the suite kitchen which has a full stove, big sink, dishwasher and microwave and countertops.....a regular full kitchen and not an abbreviated teeny-weeny hotel kitchen.
Buy it at Hannaford-Plymouth......eat it in Waterville Vally......and avoid paying four dollars for a half gallon of milk at the Waterville local food store in town square ......Jugtown.
Plus, the Black Bear has an indoor-outdoor swim pool and a large outdoor hottub.
Unlike the Black Bear ...... the nearby Snowy Owl has no kitchens, what-so-ever, in its' small, cramped, dorm style rooms that sleep four and has a restaurant in the Snowy Owl basement. If you want a hotel suite with a real kitchen then you want the Black Bear!
