Quick Verdict: Omni Mount Washington Resort & Spa vs Black Bear Lodge

When Omni Mount Washington Resort & Spa wins: choose Omni if you want a landmark property with a large 25,000 sq ft spa, many restaurants and bars, on-site golf and ski access, and classic resort public spaces for a full-service mountain vacation.

When Black Bear Lodge wins: choose Black Bear Lodge if you need condo-style layouts (kitchen, sitting area), easy access to Waterville Valley village and ice arena, and basic resort amenities (indoor + outdoor pools, arcade, playground) at a smaller property.
