Top Arkansas River Hotel Reviews

Silver Ridge Lodge

8/10 Good

"It was honestly a near perfect stay, and an excellent value. Perfect for pets. I had some reservations because it was not a chain and I have to say I was overwhelming surprised. The accommodations were very clean and neat. They could do with some updates, particularly in the bathrooms. The property is starting to show its age. It would be nice if they staffed up a little more. It was clear they were operating on a skeleton crew, but they were so friendly and attentive. It would have been nice to have at least a computer and printer, at least one. But the wifi access and tv offerings were first rate. That made it very convenient. As I say I was so pleasantly surprised. It was a near perfect stay. I'm happy to offer up this review."

Browns Canyon Inn

"Staff was great, room was excellent and appeared to be recently updated"

Tiny House Leadville

10/10 Excellent

"Booked a spot here last minute, which can always be sketchy. All went well though. Spot was clean. Maybe it’s because it’s the off season but things were nice and quiet despite proximity to downtown. We would have stayed another night if our plans allowed."
