Friendly staff. The hotel was modern, clean with recently redecorated rooms. Well run hotel in a fantastic setting near the interstate, yet it was walkable, with a small quaint town feel. We will be back.

Keep an eye on the weather in fall. This pass can be snow covered and icy when you do not expect it. And the drop-offs without guard rails are plentiful. Colorado Highway department has a webcam near the summit.
