Stayed in Standard Room Valentines Weekend. Clean room, friendly staff and comfortable bed. They do charge an extra $5 per night for parking. Biggest complaint with the room was a very small bathroom. The toilet was (no joke) 2 inches from the tub which made it very awkward. Probably going to stay elsewhere next time

Rooms are spacious and clean. We had some minor plumbing problems and they were fixed immediately. The breakfast was great, however I wish it had been available before 8am. We were not expecting the $5 per night, per vehicle parking fee.

This property is amazing. I have been staying here since the 1980s. Each room has a private balcony that overlooks Roaring Fork Creek. The ladies at check-in and check-out were great. If you ever wanted a place just a short walk from the parkway, give this lodge a chance.

The staff was nice, but the place.... mmmm what can I say... for that money you better try in a different place. Old hotel, not much effort cleaning, people are allowed to smoke in the balconies so you cannot enjoy the creek because there's someone with the cigarette smoke ruining the moment.
