The room was what we expected, but the breakfast was to pricey for what we paid. We would stay there again but I wouldn’t pay extra for the breakfast.

Easily the best place to stay in cripple Creek. Complementary breakfast was OK, but hey, it was free! The next spec place in cripple Creek would be to stay at the new hotel/casino, but then you would be staying at a casino. I really appreciate it The quiet seclusion of this place while still being quite close to all of the action in town. Very homey and clean and the beds were very comfortable.
