Traveled with family
Disliked: Cleanliness
The room smelled moldy and musty, so disgusting it made our eyes burn. It was like a mix of urine and mildew. We had to open the window for the evening (and the front door as much as possible) which was not safe since we were on ground level. It was also loud from the busy street and no ice machine. We left as soon as we woke up the next morning. I called and spoke with the owner to inform her and she was very dismissive and said “I was just there and didn’t smell anything.” Way to lack accountability! It’s a shame because the location is great. Please clean and update your hotel properly! Guest should not have to pay a premium rate and have to suffer like that. And if a guest is kind enough to call you first to inform you, be kind!

They reached out to us to make sure we had all our info for our very late self check in. The place was nice clean and SO quiet. We were in heaven, and sad we had to head out so early then next morning. We will for sure stay here when we come back! Thank you!

ADA noncompliant

Unfortunately, this property is not ADA accessible or compliant. My sister uses a mobility scooter, we were unable to stay since our assigned room on the second floor was only accessible via stairs.

Perfectly Quaint & Cozy

This was the perfect place for us to call home while we explored the area. The owners are wonderful and shared lots of helpful information. Our clean, cozy room had the most comfortable bed and lovely-smelling linens! We’ll definitely stay here again when we return to Keystone!

A true gem in Keystone!

This was hands down the best hotel we’ve ever been to. Service and attention to detail was outstanding. Location was perfect and the charm was unbeatable. We hope to be back someday. Could not recommend more if you’re heading to the Keystone area.
