Don't let rustic exterior fool you - room was nice
I was a little nervous when we arrived as the exterior didn't look very modern and a bit more rustic than I expected. But once we opened the door to the room - all concerns were gone. The interior was very clean and modern. We were extremely comfortable here. Thank you

Good value
The room was comfortable and cozy with a nice view. Location to RMNP is great. Breakfast was disappointing. The hot tub is really nice but I had to ask for it to be unlocked every single time I wanted to use it which was kind of annoying.

6/10 Good

Poor people skills
Walls are thin so we heard everyone around us. While enjoying some alone time, with no do not disturb sign available. We were disturbed by the property maintenance guy with an issue about a doorknob. Instead of leaving after knocking with no reply, continued to knock until we answered. Breakfast was cleaned up almost an hour earlier than they said was available as well. And the snow maintenance on the property was poor. The room was comfortable and clean, but the staff was not great.

Comfortable bed, but poor breakfast.
It had a very comfortable bed. That is the most important part to me when I stay in a hotel. However, if i had known that I was going to have to walk outside about 200 ft To get to the “free breakfast” in the lobby. (It was in Jan. And below freezing.) I would not have stayed there.

Economy stay without the economy feel.
For the price of 57.00 per night it was a lovely stay. I always appreciate a property that doesn’t douse with toxic cleaning chemicals yet was still a clean room. Rooms have a nice view of Estes Park and easy access straight out the door which makes it very pet friendly. Continental breakfast was like a gas station selection though. And the queen sized bed was the smallest queen I’ve ever been in but very comfortable overall. Room service is by request only so it was an uninterrupted stay with my husband and dog. We will stay here again in the summer and hike Gem Lake trail!

Gross rooms - dont stay here!
Room was gross with stains on the floor, rusted drain and broken headboard. Room had a dispenser for body wash and shampoo (not separate, supposed tobthe same stuff), but mid shower learned it was empty! Spoke to front desk and was told management would contact me but they never did. Do not stay here its gross and has terrible service. Total dive motel!

Dont stay here!
This place is a dive! Literally the worst and most disgusting rooms Ive ever stayed in. My room had stains on the floor, a broken headboard and a rusty drain plug in the bathroom sink. Spoke to the front desk at checkout and was told someone from management would be in touch, but nobody contacted us. Dont stay here!

Not a great stay. Not given the room we booked. Rooms in general were clean and modern, but we were charged $20 for arriving 45 minutes early. No shampoo, soap in room. Breakfast was not great, just packaged muffins and cereal. Staff was not helpful with our concerns and would not refund for the lower cost rooms we got.
