Ccatherineb515We cut our trip from 6 night to 3 because we were very disappointed & unable to sleep. First, you need to know that there is no A/C, so your only option in August is to open the windows & use the fans provided. Unfortunately, it was still too hot & impossible to sleep given the noise from the street, crying babies, garbage truck, etc, plus we couldn’t use the blackout blinds to reduce light from street & courtyard because they would restrict any air flow. I tried to sleep on the sofa close to the window using the folded cotton blanket from the closet, but the blanket had a 10” round yellow stain. There is no restaurant. No bar. The path to Main Street takes you by a very nasty, green algae contaminated pond. The weeds & crumbling concrete along this path around the hotel’s pool does not bode well for their care or cleanliness of the pool, so we didn’t dare use the pool or hot tubs. We will not return.
VVladimirThat is a motel and it is really outdated. While in the room you can hear everything that happens in the neighboring rooms. The fridge was so noisy that I had to unplug it.
On the positive side, beautiful view to Ptarmigan lake, nice breakfast, nice hot tub
TTrail40024910930We stayed here for one night. There was limited parking when we arrived at just after 1am. There were no king bed rooms available as they have few in the hotel. We got a room on an upper floor. The room was big, very modern and stylish. Nice clean room and very comfortable bed. We were only there for 6 hours as passing through. We didn't use the shower or eat breakfast at the hotel. The breakfast is an additional cost and depends on what you order. The hotel was quite pricey for what it is however we couldn't find anything cheaper in the area. We would stay here again if we were in the area and needed to break up our journey.
This place can be spectacular or shabby, depending on the room you get. And the only way to know what room you are TRULY getting is to book through the property. I learned this the hard way. Important discoveries: 1) do not stay here unless you can guarantee a river-facing unit with a balcony. These can be quite affordable and they are nothing short of a dream. The sound of the river just outside your window all night will lull you to sleep with the most beautiful white noise of nature. Sit on the patio and soak in the views of the rustling aspens as you sip coffee in the morning and wine in the evening. Also noteworthy: these units face the East and only get gentle morning sun so the place never gets hot. This is especially important in the summer bc no properties in Breck have air conditioners. It can get really hot in the units facing the west. Also noteworthy: many units not facing the east overlook a busy-ish street which can be really awful with all the noise (lots of loud trucks all day and even into the night) and the smell of exhaust. But again— you must keep your windows open bc there is no AC. This makes for a miserable experience. 2) do not get a loft unit. Ever. The loft is the bedroom no windows, which means you will suffer a horrible heat when trying to sleep, summer or winter. There will be a skylight but no screen so opening it could allow unwanted critters. You’re in the mountains after all. The single story units (non-loft) have screens on all windows. 3) Stay off the ground floor if possible. This reduces the noise level and allows for a much better view of the river and beautiful trees. The river facing units are not to be missed, but the street level doesn’t provide the same experience. Still, ALWAYS choose river facing. Even street level is great, especially compared to the non-river facing units that face the street or the parking lot. 4) Do not believe the images you see on the hotel websites bc they are often not images of the actual unit you think you are renting. To be safe, always contact the property directly to confirm you are getting the room/amenities you want. 2)
Quick and easy off the highway, breakfast was good. Beds were comfortable, pillows are a bit to be desired. Otherwise overall good quick stop! We will be back sometime soon. Plan a good time for the fall colors coming up , see you next time !!!!
