2-Hours Glenwood Springs Short and Mild Family Raft Trip
"Staff was friendly and helpful! The hot tub was not open the whole time we were there! We stayed two nights! The breakfast was delightful! My only other complaint would be the cleanliness of the bed! The bedding was all white so you could see the stains! Especially around the bottom of the mattress!"
"Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Room was very clean with large fridge and an actual freezer. Decent breakfast. Nothing fancy but surprisingly pleasant inside rooms."
"It was clean, reasonably priced, and the staff were extremely helpful. The only down was the "continental breakfast". It was extremely limited, and we ended up walking down the street to the Village Inn. Otherwise a good value for the money."
