Great location just off of Main Street in Westcliffe & has a spectacular view of the Sangre de Cristo mountain range. Self check-in was fast & easy. I would stay here again.

The rooms are more like studio apartments, with a full kitchen. Really nice rooms and close to the main part of the town. No staff on the premises.

I would have given this 5 stars but there was a full-size fridge in our unit & it was so loud! I've stayed in multiple other hotel/motels with loud mini fridges but this one was certainly the loudest. I love having a fridge & microwave & this was a mini kitchen. The bathroom was big. The mattress must have been the typical spring type - bouncy. The view was mostly of other buildings. So close to coffee shops & restaurants. Good for the price.

We liked the quiet and convenient location. It was great to have our windows open and have a cross breeze for the cool nights! Our room was clean and comfortable. I wish we had one more chair in the room.

I have stayed at the Dark Sky Suites previously and greatly enjoyed my stay. It was exactly the experience I was looking for and offers an ideal location for exploring surrounding mountain ranges. Room and kitchen was well equipped and my interactions with staff were positive. I liked it so much I decided to extend my stay

Very large, open space; super clean, looked freshly painted. Full kitchen and comfortable bed. Quiet and convenient, plenty of parking. Unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate with our stargazing, but the accommodations were first rate.
