Perfect after hiking. Nicely remodeled, comfortable room. Attractive mountain cabin theme. The owner is welcoming and most willing to assist with any need or request. Glad we chose it.

10/10 Exceptional

Staff super friendly and provided us with generous amount of snack/food. They’ve renovated an old motel so everything feels new. The walls are thin and rooms are small but having a fridge and microwave was super nice. Our family enjoyed staying here for going to Kirkwood skiing trip.
Akie, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Room is furnished with 5ft fridge and microwave. Room is cozy and has a big TV for days when your snowed in. Cute little room enough for two people with queen bed.
Vanessa, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Convenient location and nice property. Friendly front desk and generous supply of water, coffee and light snack at the front desk. I think the price is convenient. We liked the place and are coming back. At the time of our stay, people who were staying downstairs were so loud till late night and I could not sleep well. This is not property issue and I hope guests would be a little more sensible.

4/10 Fair

I would have rated this as average until I saw they charged me more than the price stated on Orbitz. Due to the fact that I tried multiple times via phone and email to contact the property prior to my stay with no success, I don’t have high expectations in getting this made right. The AC unit was broken in my room, which they were aware of before I arrived, because they put an extra fan in the room. Unfortunately it was hot enough that the extra fan didn’t do much. I ended up leaving a day early because it was just too hot. The room itself was fine… I killed a beetle and a big spider, but the place is in the mountains. The owner is very nice and seems interested in making sure guests are happy. Until I saw the overcharge, I was on the fence about booking again. With that and the fact that you can’t get a hold of them unless you’re at the property, I would absolutely not stay here again.

Beautiful newly renovated property

The Woodfords Inn is a lovingly renovated property. It is clear that the owner has a vision for what a nice, modern motel stay should be. The flooring is new, there are beautiful red Galanz fridge/freezers and matching microwaves. The new bedspreads are soft, fuzzy and warm. The towels are even embroidered with the inn's name. The host showed me to my room to demonstrate the use of the key. Breakfast is continental: yogurt, croissants, cereal, candy :-). Good variety of k-cup coffees.

Nice property but room was very dirty

This is a nice property with beautiful surroundings. And the owner is very nice and offers free snacks and beverages in his office. But unfortunately, our room was quite dirty. The shower had pink mold in the corners. The corners of the bathroom and wooden moldings had dirt and dust. The toilet had a mold ring from where the water line sits. The back of the white front door was full of black marks. The bathroom door had a huge stain which I'm hoping was from a spilled coffee. We could feel dirt on the floor when walking barefoot. Given the other reviews, perhaps we just got a bad room. But these issues combined with the price we paid at $200 / night is unacceptable.

This is a very nice motel. Clean rooms, very accommodating manager. I was looking for a one night place that was clean, quiet and simple. The Woodford Inn was all of that. When I returned to the area next year, I will spend more than one night, it’s a wonderful stay.

Great service and nice room!

Convenience of check in and out. Left key under the mat since we came in later than expected. The continental breakfast was perfect including lots of beverages to choose from.

Han was very accommodating to any request I had. I will be staying there again next year.
Arthur, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The manager Hahn was very hospitable and always very attentive to anything you need. In addition to that they always had lots of food, coffee, snacks, and other items for free in the office at all times, fantastic coast. Great property and I highly recommend it. That said air conditioner is quite loud, refrigerated at work and the lighting is a little difficult, but since we were up there to be in the mountains, the scenery around was breathtaking and we had a fantastic time… Our second time there. We look forward to coming back many times.
