The room was very spacious but dated. The first night we were without a tv and gas logs. The second night they were able to get everything working. The carpet really needs to be cleaned or replaced. The gentleman working the front desk did try hard to get all issues resolved.

A dated property. Staff did not seem welcoming. Breakfast was in a very cramped space and started later than expected given the proximity to Rocky Mountain NP where guests want to get into the park. There were many people waiting into the breakfast room when it opened.

The room we got looked nothing like the photos. The bathroom counter had spackle on it to fill some holes. But the tub shower was brand new. The carpet was old and worn in spots, but the beds were comfortable and sheets were clean. The location was good, the breakfast was a nice option and the desk staff were helpful. We were in the area to hike, so we were just using the room to sleep. It was nothing to write home about and I would consider other options if I returned to the area.
