Convenient Location to relax.

Convenient location to shopping food, but has a small kitchen if you want to cook. The store is just around the corner too. The observatory park is just doen the street just past a couple museums. Everything is near especially a great coffee place.

Disliked: Cleanliness

Not worth it.

Grossed out by hair in shower. No place to sit other than a backless tall stool. Small coffee pot which is a joke for two people. No dishwasher so we rely on the previous guest's desire to seriously wash dishes for us to eat on.

Meh

Check in a little bumpy. No staff on site. Was promised email to deliver door codes. Didn't get it until I asked. Door code a little balky but eventually worked. Room was spartan. Given price, that was a little surprising. It was a hot day and I turned on window AC. Room never got comfortable, from Friday afternoon to Sunday morning. Bathtub drained slowly and probably was heading for blockage. Bed was good. Location excellent. Should have stayed in Lamplighter Lodge, which better in all respects.

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.

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.

Booking, checking in/out was easy! Some of the appliances are older but they worked just fine. The towels are a bit rougher than most hotels/motels I’ve been to. Tv reception was hit or miss and we just ended up turning it off. That was the biggest downside but we didn’t spend much time needing it. I loved that we could have our fur babies there. Very close to everything! At night when you walk outside you can see the Milky Way and it’s gorgeous! I’d stay here again!
