Pros:

Hotel einzigartiges Flair mit Live Musik am Abend und uhrigem Western Look. Zimmer tolle Echtholzausstattung kein Teppichboden. Betten super bequeme.
Zum Rockie Mountain National Park 3 Minuten Fahrzeit Lage einfach super.

Leider mussten wir wegen Höhenkrankheit vorzeitig abreisen da es wirklich sehr hoch gelegen ist.

Good value and close to park entrance.
Pros:

Close to entrance of Rocky Mountain National Park. We enjoyed Happy Hour on the deck with live music while enjoying the view of the mountains and lake. Our Happy Hour waitress was super. Room was large and comfortable. It's very easy to get to the park before 9AM, which means you don't need a timed reservation.

Cons:

The receptionist was eating a bowl of Cheerios while checking us in?!

Pros:

הכי אהבתי את העיצוב של המקום. יפהפה! ואת המיקום - דקות משער הכניסה לפארק הרוקיס.
