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 The hotel itself was somewhat outdated, however it served us out of convenience.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.

Everything was perfect with the room - clean, comfortable. Four stars because the hot tub was cold and that was the one reason i chose this place. Other than that, everything was great!

Room 20, furthest from the office, WiFi kept cutting in and out. Best reception was with either the door or window open. Only one end table.

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.

The front desk person was very kind and accommodating. He allowed us to check out a bit later so we could finish our hike. The room was quiet and clean. The location was within easy walking distance to the lovely Grand Lake downtown area.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
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 was fine. Good location. Modest accommodations, and it was quiet. The wifi connection very erratic, which was really frustrating (since it was hard to get cell service).
