Very well taken care of property, obviously well cared for and maintained. Our room was huge. The pool was also clear and clean. Staff was friendly and helpful. The only fault I can find is that the breakfast wasn’t very good. Not due to poor preparation or care, I just think the food itself was low quality. One of the better hotels I’ve been in, might be the best hotel in Keystone

We stayed 5 days and they did not change 1 thing on the breakfast. The eggs were watery and the sausage was pale like it had been boiled. The biscuits barely warm. You had to ask for toilet paper, there were no spare rolls. The tiny soaps were a joke. They were like single use, actually you needed 2 at a time to get any lather. The towels were odd also. The hand towels were kitchen towels. They advertised a pool and hot tub. But when we arrived said it was closed bc of an incident with the city water. But said it ahould be open in a day or 2. I asked again after day 2 and it seemed they were doing nothing to open the pool. Big disappointment for our daughter and her friend. I would not stay here again nor recommend it.
