Though the reception clerk was nice and helpful, the property is dated. The toilet ran constantly. The heater wouldn’t work as it should because the filter needed changing. The unit had a very strong smell of Clorox that meant we had to air the room out before we could tolerate being in there.

The fireplace was supposedly not working because of gas in another room, so was told it was turned off. However our room’s fireplace had the pilot light going and at 6 am the flames came on and then went off! The room smelled like gas. The staff had to come turn the pilot light and gas off for the fireplace! I had a headache that morning from the gas being on in the room. I was very disappointed with the room and staff!

Location is great, short driving distance to the restaurants and to Rocky Mountain. Check-in was pretty fast, the room (especially bathroom) was very clean. We also had a great sleep at night, it was so quiet there! The only downside was breakfast. Only unhealthy options, nothing was delicious at all! Paying 200$ per night you usually expect better quality. Overall it was a good one night stay for us

Quality and cleanliness of the room was one of the worst I have seen. Poor lighting, ac unit was in living room and inadequate for the space and to cool the bedroom. Hair in the bathroom and bathtub. Felt dirty and no lighting in parking lot. According to the front desk, they have electrical issues and no other rooms with adequate lighting and AC were available. The room should not be rented out in this condition. Won’t ever go back.
