Would NOT recommend staying here. The place is run down. If I had known this, I would not have reserved a room. Asked for partial refund, not likely I will get it. We left this place as soon as we arrived and decided to reserve a different place in Poncha Springs. Needs to be renovated.

Was Good hotel, no front desk staff anymore!

Stayed here 3 times now. Only the first time was great! The hotel itself is nice and has nice mountain views. Good internet. Problem is the past 2 times there is no front desk worker. Some old maintence man eventually comes to the desk, then he has to call someone to check people in. He said he cant operate the computer and check people in. last night took 10 minutes as the person he called did not answer right away. i was going to stay there again next week friday, i booked on there website. today i decided to switch trip to Thursday, found there is no way to cancel or change on there website. I have called this hotel at least a dozen times all through out today and they do no answer, the calls go to a call center and they take my info and no one calls back. i also emailed and no reply. If i ever get ahold of them i just going to cancel now and book my Thursday night stay somewhere else. This place has no front desk staff anymore. first time i stayed a really nice helpful lady was working the desk, past 2 times no one there!

Property outside was beautiful with Hummingbirds galore!! Room nice and comfy bed...however, I didn't like the check in process where front desk calls someone and reads my credit card info out loud to the person on the phone-in front of other guests-even though we prepaid!!!

The property is a 1970's gem. Not much has been updated since it was built. It was super quiet and the beds were super comfortable. It recieved such a low rating due to staff. There wasn't any! We got in just after 11pm. There was no one to be seen. We called on their radio, walked around searching for a deak clerk. We tried calling the number to the hotel and spoke with reservations a on the phone who tried multiple times to contact some one to help us check in. It was 1:20am before we got in the room. This morning was not any better. The only employee on site was the chef for the restaurant who told me that no one would be available to hear my complaint until 3pm. Overall if your looking to party and run carelessly around a place this is the one to go to. No one is around to stop you. It would be a great place if the got some caring staff. The view and the bed was worth the money.

Terrible!

When we arrived, there wasn’t anyone in the lobby front desk area. But however, there was a note to use the walkie talkie to let someone know we were there to check in. We finally were checked in and given a key. A real key. Our room was in the basement. The room was very dirty. The toilet had poop in it. It wouldn’t flush. The bed looked like something out of the 70’s. I strongly suggest rethinking about staying here. It was gross!

The Shining?

The check-in person seemed weird, and he had to call someone to do the check-in (I don't know why). There was no one there when I checked out. The hotel needs a sign out front.

The balcony view was beautiful. It's open, making it easy to connect with other guests. The space is quiet, clean, and faces the mountains at the back of the property. We especially enjoyed watching the many hummingbirds at the active feeders. One downside is that there's no way to control the temperature in the room. One of us slept well, while the other woke up feeling hot. If you prefer a cooler sleeping environment, consider bringing a portable fan—and don’t forget an extension cord. Overall, we would definitely stay here again.

While the check in process was fairly easy and welcoming, make sure to not walk out of the far exit on floors 3-5 to the outdoor stairwell because the doors will lock behind you and you will be stuck outside above the 3rd floor with no phone service. Banged on the door for 30 minutes before I could get someone to let me inside and the front desk lady said that it’s an exit only and then you have to jump off the 4th floor if you wanna get out, so good luck.

The location is a challenge for anyone running a hotel. Not in a community and at a very high altitude, it's got to be difficult to keep up. It does feel like investment dollars are needed. The only complaint we had was there is ZERO signage for this hotel right now. Not sure why, maybe waiting on a replacement, but not even a piece of paper in the window telling you this is a hotel.
