Great place to stay! The internet could be faster. The room used Roku on the TV to log into your streaming services and was buffering A LOT the night I stayed there, so I just ended up watching something on my phone. Still giving it 5 stars because I can overlook something like that.

Great Find near the National Park

I stayed here with 8 of my friends while we visited Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. The staff were friendly and accommodating. We loved the fire pit and the central location. It perfectly fit our needs.
