This place was SO fun! We just had one night here as part of a road trip, and this was the place we wished we could spend more time. My family (2 adults, 2 older kids) stayed in the Woodstock Room and got an absolute kick out of the decor (black lights, water beds, etc). My parents (who were not interested in sleeping on a waterbed) stayed in one of the normal rooms but really liked the John Wayne decor. The whole property looked like a fun place to come back to with family for a small reunion. Breakfast was very good as well. It was very convenient to dining in town, to Walmart to pick up a few things we'd run out of on the road trip, and to Mesa Verde NP. We hope to return someday!
