Excellent location and staff; cleanliness and noise leave more to be desired; okay on value
Pros:

The location of this property is amazing - it's centrally located and easy to access downtown, events, Rocky Mountain National Park, restaurants, and much more.

The hotel bar (and back patio firepit) is excellent and something convenient to do in the evenings - meet other people, enjoy some drinks without driving anywhere - and the staff was really fun and pleasant (especially the bartender, Conner)!

The room itself was large (much more than I needed as I was by myself, but that's what was available when I booked it) and the bed was really comfortable.

Cons:

I booked my stay last-minute. There were two rooms remaining, both "King Suites" or something and the difference appeared to be that one was ADA compliant or handicap accessible (on the first floor) and the other was advertised to have a balcony (at an extra $50). It was cold so I wouldn't have likely made use of the balcony, but many hotels that offer one have a view - so I booked it. They don't offer rooms with balconies so this is an inaccuracy on booking.com and one that cost extra money.

When I checked in (at 8:45am) in the morning I was told that my room was not available yet, but they would put me in the queue. Official check-in time isn't until 4:00pm - and when check-in was available they had to make a last-minute repair to the room (so I couldn't actually check-in yet). I finally got into my room about 4:30pm. At this point the time difference wasn't that significant and they gave me a discount at the hotel bar, which I appreciated.

Once I got into my room, the refrigerator was full of old food. I took it out and tied it up in the trash myself only to find there was ice build-up (with food in it) in the back of the refrigerator. I tossed the food I had and did not use the refrigerator. I would've called the front-desk but at this point I just wanted to lay down in my room.

I then went to take a hot bath, but the bathtub had some discoloration (probably spilled shampoo or something) and "hairs" all over the tub, and I realized it hadn't been cleaned - I certainly wasn't going sit in it.

I remember the breakfast being excellent (last time I stayed), but it seemed they weren't offering it in the morning when I checked out, which was a bummer because I was looking forward to it and we were talking about it the night before, and I'm pretty sure it was included in the price of my stay - but there was no one there when I checked out around 8:30a.

Welcoming experience
Pros:

I don't remember the lady's name, if I remember correctly she was a manager, but she was working on Dec 30, 2025. Such a sweetheart honestly. She offered us s'more and even left them out when she was gonna put the away. She always answered all of our questions and had a smile at all times. When we had to check out a day before she made the process really simple and helped us with any inconvenience we had. We would definitely stay there in the future if we are in the area again. Highly recommend, such a welcoming environment.

Wonderful time
Pros:

It was a wonderful stay.For my birthday weekend they upgraded us and had a nice surprise. They gifted a hat and some granola bars. Water as well. The smores where a wonderful touch. Just made my birthday feel special and wonderful. We will be back hopefully in the summer to try out the pool and other things. I know my son would love it. Thank you for upgrading and making it a nice time. Bed was comfortable and a really nice room.

Could hearr the people above us. But that is not the hotels fault.

Over all a wonderful experience!

Fantastic stay.
Pros:

The entire experience was fantastic, from the easy check in process, the girl at the front desk who is an absolute delight, the room, to the complimentary smores every evening. We will be back! (Only missing item is a microwave in the room so I can heat up my warmie in the cold weather).

Great hospitality in a Rocky Mountain setting
Pros:

Fantastic hospitality on the way in and way out. Super kind and informative staff quick to give you the lay of the land and amenities. I was needing to find a place to rest and recuperate after a tough day of travel. Love the fact you can roast marshmallows and make s’mores if you like by a fire in a warm, pleasant social setting.

Really nice...
Pros:

Great experience from the front desk to the bartenders and wait staff. Incredibly scenic setting, quiet and quaint and plenty to do for the adventurously inclined. A photographers delight with the mountains alone and the Elks, etc. who aren't hard to find.
