We had a great stay for two nights, the lake is right across the street where you can rent bikes, kayaks, and pedal boats, the hotel across the street is triple the price of what this hotel was and the lake is only a two minute walk. We enjoyed the breakfast, they have a chilli station, cereal station, granola station and different types of breads for the toaster, the only hot food besides the toaster items is the chilli, no sausage, bacon or eggs, a decent selection of cereal. The only downfall was that they only had three washers which were all in use and three dryers, two of the dryers were broken, so we had to find a different place to do laundry. There is a desk in the room but no plug at the desk to plug in your computer. Room was clean, bed and pillows were comfortable. I would highly recommend this place, it’s only a 8 minute drive to the entrance of Rocky Mountain National Park.
