Old place - needs major update including a working heating system. They had a small plug in electric heater in the room. No room to move in tiny bathroom. We did not feel safe as the door in the room was thin and you could see light! I do not recommend staying here. Find a place closer to town.

It snowed and rained on us in the Rocky Mountain State Park, so we were sad that our trip was ruined, but the front desk staff at this hotel made our stay memorable - he gave us the 2nd floor corner room (with windows on 2 walls), and muffins and yogurt since we had to check out at 5am and miss breakfast - really appreciated it!

Close to Rocky Mountain National Park, restaurants and loved seeing the Elk grazing by the pool during breakfast. Hotel breakfast isn't that great.

Very overpriced for basic but clean rooms. Front office was helpful. Breakfast was basic and items were not refilled when they were finished. Tables were dirty. No one was around to help with breakfast. There are many better hotels and inns to stay in and much better prices. Unfortunately the inn chose to take advantage of the Memorial weekend and shortage of accommodation. Very disappointed
