You don’t stay here for the quality of the property, you stay for the amazing view and convenience to great hiking. It’s definitely a facility caught in the 1980s but the views and places to explore are worth it.

We had the hotel to ourselves. Staff was amazing and they washed our laundry because their guest laundry was down.

4/10 Fair

When I first looked at the photo of the exterior , I was reminded of the hotel in ‘The Shining’ The desk clerk had the vibe of a stoned elderly hippy and had to call someone else to take my credit card info. The lovely views of the mountain were a plus. The 1970’s decor did distract from dingy towels, etc The construction has a wrap around balcony which can be entered from any room but definitely did not feel secure. The graffiti by the entrance is off putting I’m sure this is an affordable ski lodging base for groups of young people and families. On arrival and departure other putative guests stopped us to ask if the hotel ‘was okay’ … of course we knew why the gentleman who asked upon our arrival was asking after meeting the desk clerk. On departure, we answered by saying ‘we’re still alive’

Property outside was beautiful with Hummingbirds galore!! Room nice and comfy bed...however, I didn't like the check in process where front desk calls someone and reads my credit card info out loud to the person on the phone-in front of other guests-even though we prepaid!!!

Wonderful stay! It was enough for what we needed. We stayed one night, it has a nice trail with a river running by it and a small pond with fish. Staff was friendly and informative. The place itself is a little outdated but it was ok! It had a pool, a gym area, a sauna, and hot tubs with a view. Very nice place. 😊

The Shining?

The check-in person seemed weird, and he had to call someone to do the check-in (I don't know why). There was no one there when I checked out. The hotel needs a sign out front.
Philip, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Service was great, hotel is from the 70s and needs an update.
Gracie, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Nobody at the front counter, you will end up waiting 3 hours in order to simply check-in... This is your typical trucker stop lodge with zero frontdesk staff.
Hendrik, 1-night trip

Would NOT recommend staying here. The place is run down. If I had known this, I would not have reserved a room. Asked for partial refund, not likely I will get it. We left this place as soon as we arrived and decided to reserve a different place in Poncha Springs. Needs to be renovated.
Mark, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

I’m not sure if they used ai or special filters for Expedia photos, pretty gross overall and all the amenities are super run down. Also deceptively far away from town.
Joshua, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The balcony view was beautiful. It's open, making it easy to connect with other guests. The space is quiet, clean, and faces the mountains at the back of the property. We especially enjoyed watching the many hummingbirds at the active feeders. One downside is that there's no way to control the temperature in the room. One of us slept well, while the other woke up feeling hot. If you prefer a cooler sleeping environment, consider bringing a portable fan—and don’t forget an extension cord. Overall, we would definitely stay here again.
