    Upon arrival, I was really concerned what I got myself into. The front of this so-called hotel is…read morereally ran down. No one is around. Everything is done remotely out of Texas, they open the doors by sending a code that they email you when you can actually check in. At first, I was able to use the Wi-Fi in order to work. There is no cell service whatsoever. Around 6:37 AM p.m. the Wi-Fi completely shut down. No communication whatsoever no TV. Nothing I was unable to work the entire night. At 3:15 AM the long-term neighbor, the lights to talk to a very young lady like it's one of his buddies at the bar slams the screen door to go out to his car and then does it again going back in. There is no place to hang your clothes, no chair, no desk nothing but a bed, a tiny refrigerator that appears to have something that has died in the freezer. Upon departure there was still no Wi-Fi. I attempted to call the people in Texas once I got to Salida Colorado and had to leave a message. I do have to say the room was clean. The little sink was plugged up, the water shower was hot, but the tub is extremely slippery. The back of the hotel is an RV park that have a number of seriously ran down RVs parked and then the Arkansas River which flows very nicely behind that. For the price that they charged over $100 it is not worth it I would highly recommend that you go down the road and find something else.

    We are very pleased with having stayed here two months. Rick is a great host, Riverside restaurant…read morenext door serves awesome food, and the views right next to the Arkansas River and the Rocky Mountain peaks all around make it a perfect place to rest and relax. There are miles and miles of fishing and rafting and canoeing and plenty of state parks right by the river within a few miles. We can not thank Rocky Top enough for having us and their hospitality during a time when we were pressed for time and place was fantastic.

    Cold called them on a Sunday evening after they popes up on thinks to do. Sounded fun, and I…read morehaven't ridden an ATV in 8 years, so why not? They answered the phone, were polite, and very helpful. Showed up Monday morning, they were polite, funny , helpful. They had all the stuff we needed to keep safe and dry. The special ATV style sunglasses helped keep dirt out of our eyes. The gloves and ponchos were nice to keep us warm in the morning. That had a huge selection of full face helmets. They even recommended that we take only one atv, saving us money and still having a great trip. Their shop is full of atvs, you could take all your buddies no problem. Dave and Dave were pleasant and guided a great trip through the hills. We spent 5 hours with Dave and had a great time. The ATV worked great. No issues there. The scenery was nice, and he checked on us often to make sure we're were safe,rested, and informed. We had a BLAST. Not sure why the other bad review, these gentlemen were just right for a motorized romp on the trails. Thanks Dave and Dave.

    Rockhound ATV was some-what disapointing. Leading up the trip, communication with them was bit…read moredifficult as they were not reliable/quick in replying to emails or answering phone calls, but everything did eventually work out with the reservation. Additonally, when I did speak with them on the phone, they were very aggressive/mean about my questions, they implied that I was rediculous to be asking about riding longer than 4hrs and i quote: "now you listen to me, I'll ride your assess off, dont worry about that". I didn't really know how to respond to their gruff/aggresive tone over the phone, but I was still willing to go with the reservation. Then came the day of the rides. Overall, we had a great time, but this was almost "in-spite" of Rockhound. The best parts of the day riding were the views and terrian, riding in Pike's Nat'l forest is breath-taking! With regards to our guide, he was VERY VERY slow and when we asked about riding faster on the straight/flat sections, he yelled at us "no going over 20mph!". We didnt ask about riding more aggressively after that, but it was almost painful to be stuck riding behind our guide. All of us knew what we were doing, and within 1hr he should have been able to sense our comfort-levels and ability, and allowed us to ride faster. I felt like we were on a calm sight-seeing trip, not a fun/thrilling ATV ride. Now, I understand that Rockhound could have incentive to make us go slow the entire time, as the machines could be broken or we could get hurt. But here is why that its a not a good arguement, upon arrival, we had to sign waiver forms stating any injuries we sustained would not be Rockhound's fault. Additonally, we had to give them a $650 (!!!) deposit for any possible damage to the ATVs. This is what really upsets me, i signed a form saying I would have to pay for parts and labor to any damage i created, and i would have to take responsibility for any injuries i sustained...so...I SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO RIDE HOWEVER I WANT! The most upsetting part of the whole thing was how mis-leading it was. Leading up the trip, the owner, ATV Dave was telling me over the phone "dont worry about it, we will ride your assess off", when i called with the original plan to rent the ATVs for 8hrs, with no guide and ride on our own...so i listened to him, and changed our plans to the 4hr guided-tour, and then when we go there, they made us ride slow, they scolded us for "sling-shotting" to try and make it fun and just overall didnt live up the promise of a fun/thrilling ride. I wish I hadn't listend to them and just stuck with my instinct on renting the ATVs to ride on our own. Even if you arent familiar with the area, if you got a map and went to Pike's Natl forest on your own, you'd have a lot lot more fun.
