Clean and comfortable

I travel for a living so my top two things for hotels are cleanliness and comfort - I don’t care so much about amenities because I’m not in my room that much. This place did a great job with both! The place is so clean; absolutely spotless and shiny! The mattress wasn’t as comfortable as home, but it wasn’t bad and I understand it’s hard to get perfection for everyone’s desired mattress firmness. I had a choice of 2 pillow firmness and one was perfect. Overall, a VERY restful sleep! Super quiet her as well (we are here in the fall, a slower time). Overall, one of the nicest motels I’ve been in without a doubt.

Comfortable rustic stay near RMNP entrance

Comfortable rustic inn with lovely mountain views. The rooms are thoughtfully designed and decorated. The owner/manager welcoming and warm without being intrusive. Exceptionally clean. The bed is very comfortable. It's an area where we wanted to be out and about so didn't need a lot of services. It was perfect for us.
