rocky mtn get away

a little dated but clean and totally fine for our experience and what we needed. it was more dated than I had hoped for given how expensive it was to stay there. but so many other great things, such as location and the ease of the checkin/checkout process. I don't think it was noted that they included laundry detergent so I bought some at the store without knowing.
