10/10 Excellent
"The hotel was established in 1902 and remodeled in the mid-fifties. Don't stay here if you are looking for modern perfection. This is a place you come to to feel history, to step back (over a hundred years!) in time, to slow down. I enjoyed the deep browns of the wood paneling, the soft, burnished leather of the sofas and easy chairs, the quiet of the forest and mountains which surround the little town of Redstone. There is a richness and depth of experience here that you will not find within the sterile walls of a Holiday Inn Express."
