No house keeping Monday which was fine. Every day after only made bed and put towels on bed. At one point did take clean bundle of towels out of bathroom along with dirty. Kept leaving tip envelope out. Garbages never emptied. There was a washcloth between bed and nightstand upon my arrival and it remained there the whole time.

Wonderful motel!
We got in late, after the office had closed. The key was left for us and when we got to the room, the curtain was open and the light was on. It was so welcoming after a long day on the road. The room was clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. This is an older motel but they have done a good job of keeping it up and current.

Meh, it was okay. Clean, but outdated. The staff was friendly and accommodating. You get what you pay for, so if you’re expecting something super fancy, this is not the place for you.

Accommodated a late check-in. Friendly, courteous staff. Clearly an older property that has been tastefully remodeled and updated. I had a simple, single (but suitable for a couple) accommodation that was clean, neat, and just what I needed for a business trip to Estes Park. The hand written thank you note from the housekeeping staff was a nice personal touch. Great independent lodging that sets itself apart from the ‘who cares anyway’ franchise hotels.

The air conditioner rattled all night long, keeping us awake. The pool was dirty. The hot tub didn’t work. They were out of regular coffee in the morning. Shower curtain was nasty looking, needed to be cleaned or thrown away. The panels on the door in the bathroom were dirty/dusty and I didn’t want to hang my towel on the hooks. It was just ok. Wouldn’t stay here again.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
First room had a broken sink faucet. Maintenance not available on Sunday to fix it. Second room had a shoebox sized air-conditioner from the Vietnam War era which did not adequately cool the room, and an outside door which did not close flush with the frame. Third room not clean with hair in the tub, shown to the housekeeper who removed it. Both double beds with stained sheets. No hair conditioner, just shampoo. Had to go buy a full sized bottle of hair conditioner. Housekeeping only the first day on Monday, but no housekeeping today, on Tuesday. Dated, run down motel room, with little to no repairs.

The property is on the older side but is clean and comfortable. The carpet near our spa area was lifting and a sharp nail was sticking up so had to be careful around that space. The breakfast was basic but adequate. Nice outdoor feel with the trees lit up with lights. Close to town and food.

I did not like the arrival. The attendant was not welcoming, he did not inform us about the hotel and for example about the music night. He wanted me to sign the check in form on his tablet without showing me first what i was signing. Also find some dirty around and under the drawers. Poor breakfast. On the other side nice view on the mountains.

Not worth the money
Would NOT recommend this hotel. We stayed in room 115 at the end of the complex. Our check-in was after 9pm, and thankfully my wife called ahead to make sure someone would be there. There would not. They left our room key in that late check-in box outside, which was fine. There were no external lights available at that location and we had to use cellphone flashlight to confirm our room. All the parking spaces by our room has been taken and had to park 10 rooms down from our room. The light switch inside the door did nothing, no way to get light until you got all the way into the room. Once inside, we found a kitchenette with no paper towels or any furnishings, a king-sized bed whose comfort level should be classified as a war crime and tiny square bed pillows that were terrible. All for a room that books out at 230/night and isn't worth half that. Oh, and their wifi is a joke, 1mb download speed. Are you serious?
