Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Very cozy environment, pretty good pricing for a small Colorado town. Super easy and convenient check in which was the best check in I have ever experienced. Honestly the only reason it’s not a 5 star is the king size bed mattress I slept on absolutely was blown out and very uneven and needs to be replaced. The furnace in the room was super old and dated, BUT it did work and I didn’t freeze… and lastly bathroom felt very small, you have to close the door to be able to use the toilet at all.

This is my second stay at this hotel, and it was as good as the last time. The owner is very friendly and informative. Though the area is in a quiet area to begin with , try and get a room to the back side as the view and quiet is really nice Mark S.
