Staff extremely warm and friendly. Gorgeous views, close to Cumbres and Toltec train, quiet and peaceful. Room was clean, however facial tissue was almost out, and bathroom tissue was of very inferior quality. We would stay there again when in the area.

Sadly this was not what we had expected. Squeaky uncomfortable bed, tiniest shower and bathroom I have ever seen. AC only in the living room not the bedroom. Mouse droppings in the bedroom and very loud guests around us all night. Would have probably been better off in a tent.

Great little place at a great price

This was a well-priced hotel in the location I was seeking to ride the nearby scenic railroad. The lady at the front desk was ready for my arrival and helped with a tip for a nearby restaurant! The room was clean and had all the amenities to make our stay easy.
