I'll be back with my little charcoal grill one cold day to wait out the weather and enjoy the off se
Pros:

This is hands down my favorite place to stop from coast to coast. Mountain views, tiny town vibe. I think i want to move here tbh. The room is great, nice decorations, good heat and air. The back patio and dog area are what sells this place. Very well kept up with, private. Feels like it's your spot. 10/10

Cons:

I like checking in at the desk better than the no contact thing. It was nice pulling right up to the room and not having to check in since they text the door code. I just like asking the desk ppl where they like to hang out is all.

Basic, clean hotel. Perfect for an overnight on the way to somewhere else.
Pros:

I booked a night here on my way to Estes Park. The room was clean and comfortable. TV and wi-fi were good. Convenient location.

Cons:

The door code I was emailed didn't work. I couldn't get the coffee maker to work. Thin walls, it might be noisy with guests on both sides.

Pros:

Just outside of BV, this was a perfect spot for us. Our room had a little outdoor area attached and that was great for the dogs and letting our hiking gear dry out. This place looks like it was recently renovated and they did a great job. It was very nicely decorated, not cluttered, and very clean. Excellent proximity to all things hiking, hot springs and yummy restaurants. It was also very easy to communicate with the manager when we had questions.
