Nice, but not what we booked.
We booked a studio suite and the description said it included a private hot tub. Upon arrival there was no private hot tub. We inquired at the front desk and they said the room we booked didn't have one. There were no other options for our stay according to the front desk. We probably would have looked for a different place to stay and saved some money had we known there was not a private hot tub. The room was clean and staff very pleasant. Just disappointed with no private hot tub.

Great Stay
I had a lovely visit to the Chipeta Lodge and would certainly stay there again. They are in a great location near a large park with a beautiful view. The staff was friendly, the accommodations were clean and unique, the complimentary breakfast was delicious, and my room had it's own hot tub.

Great hotel, but they double charged us on top of what Expedia charged us and said it was Expedias fault. We are trying to refute the charges.

Loved our stay!!
we had the BEST time at Chipeta - the breakfasts were amazing (Amy was especially awesome, she was so kind + gave great recommendations and even went out of her way to help us with some info), our room was beautiful and perfect for our two dogs to join us in, and the area is gorgeous - and close proximity to the hot springs was a huge plus. this is our favorite place we have stayed in CO for certain and we will definitely be back soon!
