Just a dated property, nothing bad and only stayed one night on our way to Estes Park. Loved the little town and rented a boat for couple hours and that was plenty for a cool September morning.

We were very disappointed with this stay. Overall the place was run down and not clean. It said no smoking but our room had obviously been a smoking room at some point. The price was definitely high for the overall experience.

Very good but be prepared to unplug

My stay was a good one. This lodge is conveniently located within walking distance of downtown Grand Lake. Unfortunately, the WiFi was extremely unreliable (even the one with the EXT on it). Its location tucked up against a hill made cell service dicey as well. Otherwise, very comfortable and clean! Never saw or spoke to any staff but I was taken care of.

Disappointed!

The pictures on Hotels.com must have been taken awhile ago because they were nothing like the reality of the condition of the place. No pretty hanging pots with gorgeous flowers just a wheelbarrow full of old dirt and what was left of flowers (not recently planted), and an old paint stir stick. Check-in was easy but the front office no longer resembles the photos on the website. I wish I would have taken some pictures to post here. Room smelled musty. The bed looked more like a full size than the queen we thought we were getting. Plus, Grand Lake, at this time of year, is dead. There were quite a few tourists but many of the restaurants were operating on limited hours. Nothing much to do there.

Decent independent motel needing a little work

The staff was friendly and very accommodating. The rooms are nice an appear to be recently renovated. New bathrooms, rugs, everything. That’s the good news. The bad news is they are in serious need of a heating technician. The first room was so hot I couldn’t not stay and the thermostat did not work. I notice other rooms were using their AC presumably to lower temps from hot water heat. Next room upstairs had a working thermostat with a sluggish heating system. Secondly the wifi did not work in the upstairs room. They need to fix that…..bring in the techies. That’s a big deal. Hate to give them a 3 but they need to get it together.

It was easy to get into and out from the hotel. The hotel itself was somewhat outdated, however it served us out of convenience. We give the property an overall 3.0.

We came at the end of Labor Day weekend for a 1 night stay. The staff was friendly and responsive to our needs and the room was clean and adequate with a very comfortable bed. The Lodge is centrally located on the main road of Grand Lake. It’s really more like a motel than a lodge. Perhaps because of the fact that it was the end of a holiday weekend, the room was not ready at checkin time and there was NO lighting outside the room (stairs included) at night. We used our phone flashlight to see! Maybe the town is a dark skies community? But there should be at least footlights for safety. Overall, we would stay here again if we needed a basic room at a decent price.

It worked for the night..

Location in town was good. As it was away from the downtown (noise) but very easily walkable, which we did. We had an upstairs room facing the ‘mountains’. Mini fridge and freezer worked great. Water was hot. Didn’t use the a/c as it was cool out and the second floor window opened and had a screen. New plush carpet in the room, which is odd for any hotel/motel/lodge. Shower and bathroom facilities functioned as designed. The overhead room (LED) light had failed and was only a dim glow. The 24” ceiling fan w/light appeared to be controlled by a remote not present. The beds were not comfortable for us. Springy and bouncy and not in a good way. Didn’t use the microwave. Had to move the coffee maker off the microwave in order to plug it in. One set of stairs and no elevator (not an issue for us, just information) upper parking lot had a steep and not so steep entrance/exit. I would not suggest a big vehicle parking up there as it is small. Lower parking along the road can fit those vehicles. Housekeeping could have done a wee bit better prepping the room as there was sunflower seed on the bathroom floor and a used hotel bar of soap left in the shower. It was a one night stay for us, passing through onto our next stop.
