Another pleasant experience
Have stayed at the Inn many times for quick getaways. Excellent location. Breakfast has scrambled eggs which I appreciate. Much better than most places having empty carbs.

2/10 Poor

Don't Trust All the Positive Reviews
Room has not been updated probably within the last decade. Mattress was most likely old or of low quality because it was out of shape. Bedside lamp was broken. Manager said he would get another lamp and I would also be compensated. They never brought in another lamp. Carpet was coming up and was a hazard on the outside balcony walkway! They failed to contact me after I sent them emails through Hotels.com and to their web site asking them about compensation they promised.I figured they would contact me because, before my trip they had no problem contacting me when i needed questions asked.Don't trust all the positive reviews about this place. This hotel is not worth it even though it might be cheaper than other hotels in the area.

2/10 Poor

Quality and cleanliness of the room was one of the worst I have seen. Poor lighting, ac unit was in living room and inadequate for the space and to cool the bedroom. Hair in the bathroom and bathtub. Felt dirty and no lighting in parking lot. According to the front desk, they have electrical issues and no other rooms with adequate lighting and AC were available. The room should not be rented out in this condition. Won’t ever go back.

Disappointed!
The floor in our room was discussing. It turned our socks black. Asked to make sure they cleaned it since we were staying another day and they did not! The breakfast was good but they failed to replace items in a timely fashion. Don't know that we would stay again.

Wonderful motel!
We got in late, after the office had closed. The key was left for us and when we got to the room, the curtain was open and the light was on. It was so welcoming after a long day on the road. The room was clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. This is an older motel but they have done a good job of keeping it up and current.

10/10 Exceptional

Accommodated a late check-in. Friendly, courteous staff. Clearly an older property that has been tastefully remodeled and updated. I had a simple, single (but suitable for a couple) accommodation that was clean, neat, and just what I needed for a business trip to Estes Park. The hand written thank you note from the housekeeping staff was a nice personal touch. Great independent lodging that sets itself apart from the ‘who cares anyway’ franchise hotels.

6/10 Good

I liked the location of this property as well as the prairie dogs in the backyard. The house keepers are so friendly and helpful!! You park right in front of your room so no problems there. Despite these perks, I would not stay here again. We had problems locating the front desk worker. The safety lock on our door was coming off and the door to our room did not shut well. The rooms have very limited amenities. It also was not as easily walkable as we had hoped and there is limited food in close proximity. Overall, safe and clean inn but not what I would look for in the future.

The property is on the older side but is clean and comfortable. The carpet near our spa area was lifting and a sharp nail was sticking up so had to be careful around that space. The breakfast was basic but adequate. Nice outdoor feel with the trees lit up with lights. Close to town and food.

I did not like the arrival. The attendant was not welcoming, he did not inform us about the hotel and for example about the music night. He wanted me to sign the check in form on his tablet without showing me first what i was signing. Also find some dirty around and under the drawers. Poor breakfast. On the other side nice view on the mountains.
