Hotel is off the beaten track. Comfortable beds and clean. Air conditioner was a little loud. Had problems with the tv. Someone came quickly to help us. Very small town. Few choices to eat. Mule deer in the back yard in the morning. Beautiful.

Sherry gave us a warm greeting and gave some great recommendations about things to see nearby. Bed was comfortable, room was clean. My only knock (a small one) would be the noisy AC. Overall, everything met our needs just fine. I’d recommend to others.

This hotel is close to the North Rim of Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. The South Rim is the more frequented rim and is also where the Visitor Center is located. It will take about 1:45 minutes to drive to the South Rim from this hotel. The owner Cherri was very friendly and a delight to talk to. All the rooms are non-smoking rooms. The information on Expedia isn't clear this. There are chairs and tables outside for people to smoke if they wish to.
