Room was close to the free trolley which will take you shopping area downtown and the Stanley Hoel. Room was nice and the bed was comfortable. Entrance to the hotel could be better marked.

I really enjoyed my stay here. The room was clean, quiet and comfortable. The pool was a bonus, warm and relaxing, not cold like most hotel pools. It’s a not in the downtown area. I chose this hotel because it is a short walk to a coffee shop, a brewery, and the Hot Springs Aqua Center.

We got a suite at the end of the 2nd floor and the traffic noise woke my family up several times thoughout the night. I realize that was not entirely the motels fault. Unfortunately the room was not very clean The tub could us a good cleaning. There was ring left in the tub from the previous guests, soap scum on the wall and hair on the floor. Housekeeping had also left a dirty towel in the top of the closet.

Disliked: Amenities
The property was old and dark and had an outside entrance. Seemed clean but it was so dark it was hard to tell. Bathroom was bright and seemed clean and shower had good pressure. There were no amenities. I guess it did offer wi-fi although I didn't use it. No breakfast, etc. We had been traveling thru Colorado for a week and it was the most expensive place we stayed and offered the least for the money. The guy who seemed to be running it was friendly. I guess the old saying 'location, location" holds true.

This property has potential in a great lauch point for the mountains. It would be helpful to add a coffee bar and a place to gather. It was very stoic and rule oriented. I think I was told No Pets and NO Breakfast three times in the first five minutes I was there. The AC unit in my room was not sufficient to cool the room and I had two large beds for one person. I booked a single bed.

This was the least expensive hotel I could find that had vacancies. I was so surprised with how clean it was how friendly the staff was and when I came back to my room, the next day I had had made service. I was not expecting that I would stay here again. It’s very basic but has a great indoor pool and sauna that I didn’t get to use. I was able to put all my food in the refrigerator and pack my lunches. I recommend this hotel if you’re not looking for luxury, but want something inexpensive and clean.
