It was clean. The rooms are in need of updates. The photos look better than it is. The beds were uncomfortable. We never could get the air conditioner to cool us off , it was stuffy. The best part about it was the elk coming in the courtyard. There was a lot of elk activity there.

We needed a room that was disabled accessible to share with my brother and they were able to supply that. We weren’t sure what to expect from the outside because it looks kind of dated with window air conditioners and dated look, but the inside was great! The only thing that bothered us was the sliding bathroom door which was difficult to manuver..they could fix that with a simple knob. Otherwise we would stay there again!

We really enjoyed our time here, loved the DVDs, popcorn singing with Cowboy Roger at the fire. Great facilities. Our only negative was that our room never had a service we always came back to our room after a big day and had to make the bed! But other than that, a great choice we made choosing this place for our Rocky Mountains holiday. I would choose it again.
