The view from the property is great. But the service is off. After hours couldn’t get a hold of anyone. Had no coffee cups for the shared coffee press. Room with fridge and microwave had a single fork and knife and spoon. Rooms are styled well but bathrooms are untouched. Not sure I would stay again for the price and odd service setup. Maybe try other places first.

Would never stay here again
No human at check-in. There’s a sign that says call a telephone number if need assistance. No one answered our phone calls or the messages we left. Another couple was unable to gain access to their room because they never received the email with the code that allowed entry. And no one responded to their multiple phone calls and messages, forcing them to find another hotel. The room is charmless, cold and antiseptic. Could have spent a few extra dollars for some kind of decoration. The bed squeaked and sagged in the middle. And given no breakfast, a coffee maker would be nice in the room.

Disappointed
Hard to find. No front desk or coffee in the room. Overpriced for an updated motel room. Lights outside the room all night made it hard to sleep. Can hear through the walls. Kitchenette in room was not necessary or useable. Outdated bathroom. For the location and the price, you're better off somewhere else.

Was not a fan of the lights outside the windows that did not shut off. Made it difficult to sleep.

Nice stay for a day or two
Visiting Leadville for a couple of days; location was a short walk to restaurants. Room was exceptionally clean and bed was super comfortable. Really liked being able to park right in front of our room. Online check in was convenient and easy. Room was a little expensive for what it was, but would definitely stay here again.

Not what I expected. We were the only ones there it seemed. Would’ve like my coffee in my room. Some string lights outside to add to the charm would be cute. Overall it was a sweet little place. Wish I’d taken advantage of the hot tub that was basically in front of our room. Had problems getting tv to work but called Nandy had quick resolution. Liked the ability to log into room with a code as our planes were delayed and we checked in late. Like that. It’s a very cute town!!

As always I enjoyed the place. But this time there were a few issues. 1 the Hottub was very dirty. And the toilet in my room kept getting plugged so we had to plunger it a number of times.

The shower head was unscrewed and water sprayed the room until I tightened it.
The bathtub drain is slow. Standing water on the tub.

This place is not on Elm Street.
It’s right on the highway.
Very noisy and car lights.
No front desk person.
No ice.
No cups in room.
Not one chair or bench to sit on outside.
Parking lot is gravel…motorcyclists beware.
No sign. I drove past it multiple times looking for it on Elm Street.
It is a basic room. Nothing more.
There was trash in the trash bin.
Way way over priced.
Will never stay here again.
I don’t know how Expedia rated it as 8.
Maybe a 3 but that’s it and only because it was relatively clean.
Photos of place very deceiving.

Nice and clean room. Comfy bed, fast internet, lots of blankets and towels. Did not have a portable fan when we arrived but after notifying the staff, they quickly remedied this. And I greatly appreciated it.
Very happy with the walking distance to restaurants and bars.
Hot tub was a little too green looking for me to get in. Not sure if its just stained.
Overall a great stay.

This was a beautiful room to stay in. The deep soaking tub was exactly what I needed. The property was unassuming, which made it difficult at first to find it, but the GPS was on target. Everything was done via my phone, and I did not have to seek anyone for anything. There was a code emailed to me for room entry and I even paid for the room the day I checked in. The microwave and coffee pots were in a communal area and not in the room itself. It was very cold when I stayed but the Hot Tub was a nice surprise even though I was not able to partake. I would definitely stay here again.
