This motel is in a good location..you can walk to shopping and food. Its about 5 miles from the entrance yo Rocky Mountain national Park. The property itself is old and tired. They are renovating it but materials are cheap. Youre paying good money. Go to a more modern place. Our floor was not swept. They redid the floor with vinyl after ripping old carpet out. It was noisey. We could here suitcases rolling and people walking . This place is average. Plus side, there was a big bull elk and three cows in the back yard.

As we knew, this property was a bit rustic. The bed was old and lumpy and there were stains on the carpet. Breakfast was very simple. But the staff was friendly and the location was perfect. All in all, for the price it was fine.

DON’T STAY HERE!!

This hotel was the worst! Old, dilapidated, and run down with staff that are extremely unhelpful. Booked a suite that was listed as being handicap accessible and there were two huge stairs to get into the room. Staff couldn’t understand the problem and wouldn’t accommodate with a different room. They also charged my debit card for the entirety of the stay before we even checked in even though it was a pay at the hotel reservation. They have yet to refund my money from a 3-night stay. Needless to say, this place is garbage.

Need better service

The motel is pet friendly, but hotels.com says it is $20 per night to have a pet and they charged me $30 per night. They have not responded to my request to rectify this. The floors were dirty enough to make my feet black. The worst was getting locked out of my room, at night, because they hadn’t set my key correctly. They did not answer their nighttime phone, and I ended up having to call the police to get back into my room.

The staff were super helpful and accommodating. I booked 2 rooms for 2 nights and 1 for a single night. They did not have the rooms that I booked but literally did everything they could to make it right. We got what needed in the end. The rooms were small but comfortable. Very clean. I would recommend this motel for its value.

While I understand that summertime rates are higher than other times of the year, $213/night was excessive for the quality of the room, amenities, and continental breakfast

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The room was comfortable, but a few amenities were missing (e.g. no cloth hangers) and we had a couple of equipment problems (a light fixture and in-room Keurig coffee machine were not working). However the staff was nice enough to bring us a new coffee machine. The price was a bit high due to the touristy area but it was acceptable for a 2-bedroom suite with a mountain view.
