Alpine Inn

A pregnant wife having to climb to the second floor with no elevator was probably the biggest downside. Otherwise, the price matched this simple, no-frills stay. Our room was clean and well kept, with a fridge, microwave, and coffee maker. The bed was comfortable, although the pillows were oddly square, like regular pillows cut in half, and still comfy. Breakfast was basic, just pastries, cereal, and fruit. The pool was pleasant and the hot tub was a good temperature.

The room itself was clean, but that was the only good part of the stay. The beds were uncomfortable and the hotel felt worn down. It was also extremely noisy, with a group of drunk men running through the hallway while staff did very little about it. There was even human feces in the parking lot. When we raised our concerns, a staff member got rude and confrontational. Save your money and stay somewhere else.

The staff were friendly, and the room was reasonably clean. There was a fridge and microwave, though the fridge barely got cold, and the lighting felt too dim for me. The bathroom could use some work. It costs a lot, but compared with other nearby hotels it still seemed affordable. Breakfast options were very limited because of covid.

We picked this place because it was near Loveland Ski Area, about a 25-minute drive, which wasn't bad. The rooms were cozy, the location was good, and the price was good too. It's close to the highway, so ask for a room that doesn't face it if road noise bothers you. I'd consider staying again.
