This is a budget hotel, so I didnt expect fancy. Location is great, very pretty, although it's VERY hard to find the entrance. The room was clean. Bed was much too hard. But the price was right for 1 night. I stayed in December, so it was too cold to enjoy the outdoors. But it looks like it would be quite beautiful in summer.

Staff was very receptive and helpful. Location was great, room was nice and very clean. Only issue I had was on the bottom floor and what sounded like Mark Henry and a small elephant were moving around at 4 am onward which made sleep impossible. Highly recommend you request the 2nd floor.

There was a random Dorito under our bed from the previous visitor.... But the staff was very accommodating. We had to check in late due to me having to go to the ER in Denver for an injury. They did accidentally leave the key to the wrong room but some one came to the property within 10minutes to give us the correct key.

The TV in our room was not hooked up and annoying after being out all day and wanting to just come home and relax. The assigned parking places are stated in the rooms, but not outside of the room so when we got home, somebody had parked in our place. There was no way to let the person know that took the spot that it was reserved for the room. Other than coffee, no beverages were offered for breakfast and it was minimal at best.
