The place was great. Very clean and in excellent condition. The views from the rooftop deck were beautiful. If I had to pick anything that would have improved the stay I would say a hot tub to soak in after the long drive in. The beds were very firm. A little more than I like but just something to keep in mind and the hair dryer in the room did not work. These are very small things as the overall experience was great.

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.
