We stayed here for a night after exiting the Rocky mountain national park via Grand lake exit. We booked 2 queen beds room for 4 of us and it was so spacious and very clean. Some rooms have walk in shower one of my friends got it , that was really spacious. check with hotel if you are specific about having shower bathroom. Staff is friendly. Have refrigerator and microwave included and downstairs we have restaurant which has good food choices. It would be good if they include breakfast free for the price else everything was wonderful! The area is so quiet and calm and felt safe.

We booked here as it was convenient to the entrance of Rocky Mtn National Park. We thought it was closer to the lake than it was but still had a decent view. We liked the music at the bar and the food was good but expensive. They could probably use a little more help. Strangely there were no signs leading to the breakfast area in the lower level. It didn't open until 7 am and was expensive ($14 each for basic breakfast and $4 each for small juice) but it was very good. We recommend the hotel, just be aware of the prices.

I was pleasantly suprised from the moment I opened the door. Not only was the room spacious and charming, it just felt clean... and it was! The bed was comfortable and the shower hot. If I could change one thing, it would be the pillows. They are terrible!! They are like lumpy bricks. Lol. That said, I would absolutely stay here again. I have photos to add but it wont let me for some reason. Rest assured, this place is super cute and cozy!
