    I felt like this was an older building that had been remodeled. While the room was clean, there was a hole in the back of the bathroom door. Bathroom was small, barely able to move around. Maybe door should open out. Due to the listing, I thought it was located in Buena Vista but it was in Johnson Village, a wide spot in the road. No restaurants in that area. Gas station food only! Feel the price for these accommodations were high.

    Easy check-in and out. Room was clean. Quiet.

    Perfect place for a family with a dog on a road trip! The room was large, well appointed, very clean and comfortable. I appreciated the extra touches for the dog. I would definitely stay here again.

    See above. Also, I was there for 7 days and nobody came by to pick up my trash. I was not worried about the linens but the trash and getting coffee refills would have been nice.

    Great. Lock system to the room at night is a challenge to see

    It's a pretty simple setup, not the kind of room you would expect to spend a lot of free time in. It is on the edge of town so you probably will need to use a car to drive over and get dinner.

    A simple and accessible place to stay. Stayed here before leaving early for a hike. The beds were comfortable, and it met out needs. We were happy with our stay and would visit again.

    I could hear muffled noise coming through the wall every time someone in the next room talked. The hotel was next to US285 and traffic noise was also noticeable. The tilted floor had not been swept for awhile as I could feel the dirt when I walked with my bare feet. There were also several dead flies by the patio door.

    The room has a patio with a mountain view. There was streaming and also cable TV available. The room was spacious and bed was comfortable.

    So thoughtful in every way. There is a little patio out back and a dog exercise area. While we did not have the dog with us, I appreciated how welcoming this place is for dogs. They even had a dog blanket. This was a great choice that I only would have risked booking because of the reviews on booking.com.

    no A/C. the windows did not locked, and only some had a pvc pipe to help the window stayed closed.

    the place was clean. there was enough towels for all of us. a large fan available for each room, since there was no A/C.

    I’d say the highway noise, but not the hotels fault.

    It was exactly like the pictures. The bed was comfy, the patio was very nice. Loved the little chairs and table outside.

    I paid a fair rate but I was told by phone attendant that the room was over $200… that would be too much for that room etc.?

    I liked the patio & door to private outside.

    The mattresses are extremely soft & the pea gravel comes in on shoes. Although the provided broom was very handy. The cable did not work and the remote had been previously crushed & then scotch taped back together. Luckily, we weren’t there to watch tv.

    Nicely renovated & clean. Very easy contactless checkin & out. The little back patio is amazing! And if you have a dog, they have a place for them right there.
