The room was a good size and very cozy, however, there was hair on the shower walls, the heat was not on when we checked in. We walked into a 56 degree room which took a while to heat up. There is a piece of the wood floor with yellow caution type tape over it because it is loose when you step on it.

We visit Grand Lake a couple of times per year. This is our favorite place to stay if we do an overnight trip. Its clean, quiet and warm in the winter. The rooms are a nice size and beds are comfortable.
My kids and I spent a magical Christmas Eve there!
We lit up the fireplace and woke up to a magical, gorgeous white Christmas never to be forgotten. Danny at the front desk and Christine the bartender deserve all the kudos, blessings, and brownie points... Danny was so kind, friendly and welcoming. And Christine is an amazing woman who makes you feel like a friend and makes an UNFORGETTABLE blueberry lemon sour! Thank you for a magical stay!
