This lodge was perfect for our one night stay before an early morning hike. We had 3 beds, a clean bathroom, shampoo (etc), coffee, a nice TV. Only advice would be to bring a blanket as the bedding was a little light.
We really appreciated being able to stay here given the prices at other similar places. The outside might seem a little old school, but in the best eat, So clean and comfortable inside.
Unique code entry...no actual check-in. Went smoothly. Nice clean room. Close to restaurant and coffee shop. We'll lit. Good place...we would rent again.
We’re out here hunting and the set up worked good. Only issues were Fridge kept freezing our food and the beds were very small. Like not even full size. Could hear people banging around upstairs but not too bad. AC worked good. Room was very clean. Worked good overall. Room was 101
I really liked that the hotel was next to a grocery store. It was so convenient and made my stay cheaper than it would have been because I was just able to pop in and buy something to eat from the store.

It was a cool place...cabins and mitel rooms. We had two rooms, kitchenette and 2 TVs place looks a little rin down and no front desk staff.
Is a great place and affordable when you know you just going to use the place to sleep and you spend your time exploring. Clean , comfortable and safe. Is nothing fancy but the important is that is clean and safe

Very clean room. Easy access to Wolf Creek Ski Area.
All in all it was fine. Clean, lots of towels and soap. I turned a/c on but it never kicked on, which is fine because it's cool in the mountains. The shower only stayed hot for 10 minutes, with a big family that was frustrating. One last suggestion would be to remove the large screws that are sticking out over an inch above each bed at head level, my kiddo hit her head, thankfully minor but those could be dangerous.
