Georgetown Independent Hotels & Suites

First and foremost, if you're looking for a getaway to the Rockies for a weekend from somewhere else in the country, this place is perfect because its only about 1 hour 15 minutes from the Denver Int'l Airport: Straight west on I-70, exit at Georgetown, CO, and it is directly south of the Interstate. Just far enough that you don't hear the traffic, but close enough that if you're arriving at night, you're right there when you get off the highway. The rooms face a babbling mountain river and have a great Old World ski chalet vibe. Everyone on the staff was very friendly. The hot tub was clean and hot. The fireplace was warm. Have to also point out, they don't use keys for the rooms or hotel. They use keypads with a PIN number you choose. This is very convenient. No need to always remember to grab your key and no risk of being locked out. That said, please CALL AHEAD to set up the PIN code if you're going to arrive late at night after the lobby closes. Georgetown is very centrally located to all sorts of activities nearby: Jeeping, hiking, fishing, skiing, etc. Keystone and Breckenridge are close by as are all sorts of great off-road trails. Georgetown itself is very quaint and has a number of great little restaurants within walking distance. All said, it is a great place for couples especially! Enjoy!

Almost didn't stay upon arriving but decided to look inside. Glad I did! Staff was very friendly & room & Bed very comfortable. Inside had been updated while outside retained CC old mining town appearance.

My husband and I just returned yesterday from a two night stay at Silver Lake Lodge. Beautiful spot in the mountains. We will return. Our 34th anniversary was a delight at this retreat. Staff is amazing, food is great....and plenty of it. Not happy that we didn't get a breakfast at the hotel on Labor Day and had to stand in line at a pancake breakfast a couple miles away....not very enchanting, especially since this is a Bed and "Breakfast". Beautiful, but not quite what we expected. We had the Alpine suite, which is on the lowest level and people walked on the main floor all day and evening long, starting at 6:30am. They are beautiful hardwood floors which are not quiet at all! Not exactly what we wanted for a relaxing sleep in morning or a nap in the afternoon. Needed someone to take our dishes up to the kitchen. When we asked we were told 'don't make a special trip to bring them up'...what, we have to do it? Finally a day later I was done looking at them and we took them up. Mountain views from this suite are limited. Anyone on the balcony having a conversation could be heard in our room. It is a little more secluded than all the other rooms, which we did like. You can have as much or as little interaction with other guests as you like. We tried to balance what we did, worked out great. Hiking was great as well. Don't let the people who poopoo St Mary's not being a glacier anymore stop you, go anyway! Thank you Jim and staff for a nice visit. See you soon!

Cool relaxing environment. All the things you might have forgotten they have there for you.

Location worked well for us. Desk staff was very efficient and helpful. Towels were very thin, sheets were nubby, carpeting inside and outside of the room needed cleaning/replacing. Be advised that there is no continental breakfast. The room has a small microwave and fridge. It does not have a coffee maker.
