Alpine Trail Ridge Inn

Alpine Trail Ridge Inn

10/10 Excellent
"Overall a wonderful and affordable property. The beds were comfortable. The only concern was that even with the ac running, the bed nearer the window area would get extremely stuffy at night, I had to go out and buy a table top fan because there was so little air circulation. However, overall a great stay with friendly staff, SUPER close to the entrance to RMNP."
