Great room with a balcony and view of the mountains!! We had windows with screens that opened and provided a wonderful mountain breeze. The room was decorated well with a log type bed and had a lot of character!

We stayed here for a night after exiting the Rocky mountain national park via Grand lake exit. We booked 2 queen beds room for 4 of us and it was so spacious and very clean. Some rooms have walk in shower one of my friends got it , that was really spacious. check with hotel if you are specific about having shower bathroom. Staff is friendly. Have refrigerator and microwave included and downstairs we have restaurant which has good food choices. It would be good if they include breakfast free for the price else everything was wonderful! The area is so quiet and calm and felt safe.

The Inn was very clean and in a great location! Pull out of the parking lot, make a right turn and you're a few minutes from Rocky Mountain National Park! Make a left turn and you're minutes away from restaurants, coffee shops and the lake!

We booked here as it was convenient to the entrance of Rocky Mtn National Park. We thought it was closer to the lake than it was but still had a decent view. We liked the music at the bar and the food was good but expensive. They could probably use a little more help. Strangely there were no signs leading to the breakfast area in the lower level. It didn't open until 7 am and was expensive ($14 each for basic breakfast and $4 each for small juice) but it was very good. We recommend the hotel, just be aware of the prices.
