Very clean, but very basic

This property is a mixed bag. First, it was VERY clean and the guys at the front desk were pleasant. The location at the top end of the main drag puts it in easy walking distance to restaurants and shops. This is a very basic room, painted off white, no decorations except the shower curtain and a couple of mirrors. The only furniture in the room, other than the beds had three drawers, one of which was falling out of the unit, and room for a smaller TV (the TV in the room was too big to fit inside, so it sat on top). There is no closet, but rather a small shelf set in the corner with a clothes rod, which would have been sufficient for our three night stay, but one of the top anchors had pulled out of the wall, leaving the shelf hanging precariously. Finally, we found the mattresses too soft and aged. My smaller wife found herself pulled into my gravity well, and we both had to stretch out kinks each morning. Assuming the damage in this room is a one-off, I would stay here again at the right price, but I don't know that I'd pay $200 per night again.

A/C Unit Noise Kept Us Up All Night

Nice, clean older motel in the heart of Grand Lake. Everything was great except the a/c unit made loud clunking/grinding noises all night long and it was too hot in the 2nd floor room to turn it off so we did not sleep well. We were in room #28 or #29 in the corner.

The owner manager completely ignored our need for handicap room. I made the reservation months ago. I called and called leaving messages. When I finally got ahold of him he corrected my reservation to the only handicap room, but he failed to notify the reservation system. I arrived to check in and the poor desk clerk had to move another family out of room. This made an uncomfortable stay. The parking is so awkward on a sloping lot. I drive a van with a ramp. My daughter’s room with two children had a stuffed up toilet that was nerves even tried to be plunged. I would like money back on that room with no toilet. We stayed three nights and had room 10 and 25. We were there from July 19 to july22 when we checked out. Please send a refund for the no toilet room!

Upon arrival the lodge looked tired but we were excited and it looked clean. First night a breaker tripped twice. We made sure not to plug and run the refrigerator and microwave at same time and next morning ran just coffee maker. Also the toilet was sluggish. We out and about all day the second morning the toilet stopped up. Went to desk no one just a number posted to call. I called and texted a message. My husband came in he called. After an hour we went to near by hardware store and bought a plugger and worked on it ourselves. No I am sorry nothing. I like to give good reviews especially when the service is good. But I’m afraid this was not the case.

Check in was a breeze. Staff was very friendly. Its a very basic room but has everything you need. Little dated. The room was super hot when we got there and even with the ac on and opened window when it cooled down it stayed warm all night. Good walking location to shops and restaurants. Bonus for being dog friendly.
