The Inn was very clean and in a great location! Pull out of the parking lot, make a right turn and you're a few minutes from Rocky Mountain National Park! Make a left turn and you're minutes away from restaurants, coffee shops and the lake!
We booked here as it was convenient to the entrance of Rocky Mtn National Park. We thought it was closer to the lake than it was but still had a decent view. We liked the music at the bar and the food was good but expensive. They could probably use a little more help.
Strangely there were no signs leading to the breakfast area in the lower level. It didn't open until 7 am and was expensive ($14 each for basic breakfast and $4 each for small juice) but it was very good. We recommend the hotel, just be aware of the prices.

We had an amazing stay! Excellent location, service, and room. Right in the heart of downtown Grand Lake and only a few minutes from RMNP entrance. I would highly recommend!
We really enjoyed our stay, the location was excellent, the room comfortable, breakfast and dinner good, lovely lady from Albania was our waitress and she looked after us very well. An all round great place to stay
Really nice hotel with fantastic views of Grand Lake both from the bar and restaurant and also from the bedroom that we stayed in. The room was extremely comfortable, the balcony and views were excellent and we were very happy with the hotel
I was pleasantly suprised from the moment I opened the door. Not only was the room spacious and charming, it just felt clean... and it was! The bed was comfortable and the shower hot. If I could change one thing, it would be the pillows. They are terrible!! They are like lumpy bricks. Lol. That said, I would absolutely stay here again. I have photos to add but it wont let me for some reason. Rest assured, this place is super cute and cozy!
