Needs a quality renovation

We were excited to see that this tired property was finally getting renovated. But we think our room was one of the ones that had already been “renovated”. It had definitely been repainted—very poorly—as if it had been done in the dark. There was paint slopped on the carpet, tile, etc. It was NOT an improvement over the way the rooms were before. Also, the towels are super thin and rough as sandpaper. Time to replace those! Breakfast continues to be lackluster. On the positive side, the beds are wonderfully comfortable and the rooms are usually quite clean.

Cortez, Colo

Good stay. Yummy breakfast, room was clean, but pool/hot tub was out of order. Looked like it was going to be that way for a while!

8/10 Very good

The pool and hot tub were out of order for remodeling I think, so the kids were pretty disappointed. Our room was pretty clean, except it seems like they got flecks of drywall mud on the carpet near. A couple of the walls inside our room and on the shelves near the bathroom and never cleaned it off, so not sure how clean the room was overall.

Unregulated Temp

It was not possible to regulate the temperature in the room to a comfortable level. Outside was freezing, but the room was either too cold or blazing hot. This interrupted everyone's sleep, which is kind of the whole point to a hotel stay.

Underwhelmed - do not recommend

Pool and hot tub under renovation not cited in their website. Restaurant was closed. Paid extra $ compared to others for those amenities. Towels frayed

Was convenient for our one night stay. Clean and cozy. We had a conjoined door which made it easy to hear guests next door. Our tv didn’t work at all and it took us a good hour to get the heater to work right.

We were only disappointed that the pool and jacuzzi were under construction/renovation - we were looking forward to warming up! But that was not the fault of the staff or any mis-administration.
