Liked: Cleanliness
The room space was good. It appears to be a warehouse or industrial building that was changed into a hotel.? The check in hostess was super friendly and amazing (the biggest redeeming value). I would definitely ask for third floor or above as third was the main. Just a little creepy overall. Sheets were clean. Everything else was pretty old. I was trying to stay near Buena Vista and it comes up on Expedia as if it were in or near Buena Vista but it’s 40 minutes away.
The first room they gave us hadn't been cleaned. We got a balcony room and the view was beautiful, it would've been nice to have chairs to sit out there. The room was comfortable as was the bed. We checked ice machines on 2 floors, neither one worked. Finally found one that did by the lobby.
We enjoyed a nice and quiet stay. Rooms and Lodge in general seemed very outdated, but clean.
We stayed at a time that was not very busy so staff seemed very minimal, It was hard to find someone when we needed anything. Ice machine did not work. Bed was comfy and water was hot with good pressure. Very much enjoyed wondering around the property and taking in all the natural beauty of the area.
I’m not sure if they used ai or special filters for Expedia photos, pretty gross overall and all the amenities are super run down. Also deceptively far away from town.
This hotel has so much potential and was probably a wonderful place about 20-30 years ago. It is in much need of repairs. There were ceilings about to collapse due to water damage. It could use a good cleaning (dead flies in the window sills). I understand we were going into the "off-season" but the staff was a skeleton crew. They were however very nice.
Good price for family. Nice room. We enjoyed our one night stay! Peaceful place with internet service! We loved it!

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Like its proximity to Monarch Mtn, but it was very noisy. One of the bedside lamp switches didn’t work. Not a big deal for us but some might find it inconvenient.

The location is beautiful and the lodge has the ability to be an amazing place. However, there is no way to control the temperature in the room and it was extremely hot the entire stay. The bath did not drain for hours after use. The arcade was full of broken games that just took our money. The hot tubs are all broken aside from one, that was filthy and not even quite warm. Unfortunately, the property continues to decline and we will stay elsewhere next trip.
It is older style lodge with unique ambience. It lacks upgrades but the room was large, queen beds very comfortable, great heating and TV with HBO and other channels. The biggest advantage is very close distance to ski resort on Monarch slopes.
This place is quirky and dark. Probably hasn’t been updated since the early 80s. Only one of the beds was comfortable to sleep in and had to cram into one. The heat was broken and it was 60 degrees the whole time in the room.
