Top Gardner Hotel Reviews

Great Sand Dunes Lodge

8/10 Good

"Well, we were delayed getting there because of a major traffic accident. The manager left a key out for us and we found our dome easily. The bathroom was right there, was very clean, and very private. Unfortunately, the battery in the remote control for the heater was dead. By some stroke of luck, my husband found a Triple A battery in his truck. But the heater only blew out cold air all night, so we turned if off. Without having someone to call to fix it or ask for extra blankets, we spent the most freezing cold night of our lives. At one point, we put our jackets on. LOL. It would have been nice if there was someone to call, or if we could have moved domes. The next day, the manager was not that friendly. She offered us a free battery to replace the one my husband used, LOL. No apologies for the freezing cold dome, etc. Having said that, we really liked the property. I wish we could have gotten helped and enjoyed our dome. We would give the property another chance if there was actually someone to call when things go wrong."

Days Inn by Wyndham Colorado City

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and quiet. Helpful staff"

Best Western Rambler

10/10 Excellent

"I have known about the Rambler Hotel /Motel ever since I was a small child growing up in the 1960s, however I have never stood there until this past Sunday. I knew growing up that it was a small motel just off the interstate and a few years ago I knew that they had added the new two-story edition. With the passing of a family member and being asked to participate in the funeral I knew that I would spend some time in Walsenburg so I started to look for a place to stay while I was there. I chose the Rambler and booked my stay, I looked over my reservation and noticed that I was on an exterior room so I called the hotel directly and requested an interior room with handicapped amenities and I was given the room directly adjacent to the swimming pool. When I walked in I was delightfully pleased at a nicely appointed room with everything that I would need to be comfortable. I asked for an early check-in and was accommodated. The continental breakfast was nice and having somebody there fixing eggs and hash browns was an unexpected delight. I have nothing negative to say about my stay from check in to check out everything went smoothly. I could not have asked for more enjoyable experience."

Mountain Cabin w/ Stunning Night Skies & 360° Views -Fast WiFi

10/10 Excellent

The Lodge Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Sunrise looking at my Blanca was beautiful, weather was very nice. The lodge was a condo clean, short drive to where we were going, Would recommend"

Rustic Cozy Cabin at the base of Greenhorn Mountain.

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was as good or even usually better than we expected. Stayed at a lot of places-and every once and a while owners try to think of every little thing that would be there to make staying almost like at home-this is one of those places-great place-peaceful -and just what we needed."

'The Hideaway' - Tucked in the Beautiful Wet Mountain Valley.

8/10 Good

"LaVonne was absolutely responsive and lovely. There was no cell phone service or WiFi and the property is quite remote. She tried to resolve the issue but it was not in her control -- Hughes net could not respond until Monday. It's a quiet and beautiful setting."

Dodgeton Creek Inn
