Alpine Trail Ridge Inn

Alpine Trail Ridge Inn

8/10 Good
"The room reeked of cleaning chemicals. I have migraines and cleaning chemicals trigger them. Whenever the fan or AC kicked on it smelled like vomit. Opening the windows helped and not running the AC. Pls consider not using such strong smelling chemicals for cleaning. There was hair on the bathroom sink when we arrived. Beds were comfy, the room was clean. We spent 13 hours there, 8 hours for sleep. Super expensive for what you get. Its an old Motel, no lobby. You check in on a kiosk."
