This is a very adequate, clean, comfortable place to stay for the night. It is not new, it is not flashy or especially modern, but it was clean, the beds were comfortable, the water pressure was great, and everything worked as expected. It’s not trying to be anything it’s not.

Gunnison is bad value for hotels
Claimed to be updated, but the doors had keyed locks. Gunnison is just overpriced. The following night I stayed at an updated Laquinta in Denver at $30 less per night and way, way, way nicer.

Just OK
Could not watch TV if AC was on it kicked off direct TV. We were there 3 nights and two days the room was never cleaned we had to ask for clean towels. No Ice. The breakfast there was a pancake machine we could never get it to work, the cereal was so stale they had no bagels there were hamburger buns I guess to toast some wheat bread and some little honey buns.

This is is my favorite go-to lodging when I’m in the Gunnison Valley. Tashi and the staff are fantastic, rooms are always clean, parking is easy, and the breakfast buffet is convenient.

Very clean place. Great value to stay here. Minutes walk to free bus that goes to and from Crestes Butte. Note that there is no breakfast (in winter?) nor hot tub that I could find.
