I cannot say enough good things about the staff and the atmosphere at the Grand River Hotel. I…read moreended up here during a difficult time, but from the moment I walked in at 5:00 AM, I was met with pure kindness. Even though check-in wasn't until 3:00 PM that afternoon, they let me check in right then and there without hesitation so I could get my son ready for school. I've stayed in three different rooms now, and every single one has been spotless with a lovely view. The amenities are incredibly convenient--having the washer and dryer right there in the lobby area is a lifesaver. The indoor pool is also a highlight; it's a beautiful, bright area with windows all around it. Most importantly, they are exceptionally pet-friendly. My dogs feel very comfortable here, and there is a great, convenient area to walk them. If you're looking for a place that offers true comfort, cleanliness, and a staff that actually cares about their guests, this is it.

Front desk person was almost $100 off from correct total. If people don't check total, they're being charged extra for no reason. (Not even the worst part) Finally get checked in after confirming correct amount. Get into room to find cockroaches and bugs near the fridge, sinks(both bathroom and in room). Left our bag on the counter to find out it was now covered in bugs. Staff offered to move us rooms in the morning and claimed they have housekeeping every day. (Clearly a lie, this room looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a while) Had to reserve room with different hotel last minute which by the way was amazing. Super clean and close to glenwood. (Comfort Inn -highly recommend unlike this dump!) Very unhappy and still waiting for a full refund.

I figured out why this place is on Railroad Ave. There's a…read more$14 parking fee they don't tell you about online, you won't know this until your checking in. Never heard of this before? Feeling railroaded? You must go back to your car and put this bright pink parking pass on your dash or I guess they'll tow you. It's another $15-$16 for a continental breakfast in the morning. At least you can opt out and eat elsewhere. We only stopped here because it was getting late and we wanted to say we spent the night in Parachute, Co. But once you've stopped your mind says your tired, just stay. The room was clean and for an older place it was quite comfortable. Two queen sized beds that didn't bother the back and an excellent bath-which had a powerful shower. T.V. was nice and easy to operate even though the cable package sucked, you can't have it all. Besides, after driving for ten hours, nobody was awake to watch it. I bet you can figure this out. There was no fridge, but a freezer. Good thing we didn't put the insulin in there. Come morning, the leftover Jets pizza was not edible for at least an hour. The nice lady (Lori?) popped up a bag of corn, surprisingly at no charge and also had complimentary coffee pods. Mrs. E. had an apple cider. Strange, but, we would consider coming back. Especially, if we had more energy to use the pool and sauna. 05/24

I booked this hotel via Hotwire, who stated in my receipt that the hotel would choose an…read moreappropriate room for our party. When we arrived, the check-in woman said that Hotwire had allocated our room, which had a queen bed for three people, without a sofa bed. I said this wasn't appropriate for our group size, but her suggestion was that we call Hotwire and cancel the room. This just didn't make any sense. I asked if they could change our room, but she insisted this would be an upcharge of $50. Then I asked if there was a supervisor who could clear up this problem, although this woman also passed the buck to Hotwire. I assumed they must be full that night, but no, they weren't. They were just cheap, argumentative, and irrational. After haggling for way too long, the manager finally agreed to provide us a suitably-sized room, but "just this once." WTF? This was appalling customer service. I'll add that this is a dated Holiday Inn with run-down rooms and amenities, and without a working pool. (They didn't have any gluten free options at breakfast either, so why should we pay more to receive less?) Two stars for the serene view of the river, zero stars for the absolutely dreadful customer service.

The first room we were given was beyond filthy. The…read morecarpeting was disgusting, including numerous stains - didn't look like it had ever been cleaned.

When my husband started got irritated and mentioned how nasty the room was with other hotel guests nearby, the clerk mysteriously was able to find another room.

We checked in, got our maps and information and headed to our room that I actually recognize another Yelp Elite stayed at! Photos on Booking.com appeared bigger, the room was much smaller, but still cozy and spotless! Kitchen had basic necessities with coffee maker, a microwave, a sink, and small drawers. The bathroom was super adorable with a white mirror smiling back at us and the heater would operate every 15 mikes or so and warmed up our room. Although spotless, the "clean" smell was incredibly strong and we did prop open the windows. We were surrounded by lots of restaurants and town life. Our sole purpose was to visit the ice caves of Rifle and Western Star Inn was perfect, because this was just that place where we'd sleep and leave out the door early morning. Western Star Inn had breakfast all the way until 11:00am, that we took advantage of! It was mostly a continental breakfast style, filled with snacks and no drinks. We got hard boiled eggs, laughing cow cheese, apples, yogurt etc., and out the door we go for adventure. We did get a coupon for 15% off for the Glenwood Hot Springs Pool, and we also slept very comfortably in our beds. Overall a really pleasant stay. We got to make friends with Laura (or Lauren?) front desk reception and her husband. We thought their customer service was splendid. They just moved from Washington, which is another state I truly want to visit.

A remnant of days gone by. A hanger-on, with a firm grip on the past. They still use pen to paper registration slips, and you'll get a smile from the owner as you're filling it out. You, too, will smile when you see how reasonable the room rates are. My charge for the night was a mere $74 and change. Almost unheard of in these inflated times. My room was small and comfortable. I, being the only occupant, found it to be perfect for my needs. Stunningly clean and well-appointed. Your host, if asked, will steer you in the right direction for a delicious meal. And if that direction is toward the Mexican House restaurant, you're in for a real treat. Outstanding!!

Quick Tip: Having been built back in a time when people were more considerate, you may find that the walls are a might bit thin.

Personable, responsive. -- Cleanliness ** Clean, but dated and a tad gross. Obviously housekeeping does a good job with what they have, but this location desperately needs an update. -- Noise * Someone showed up late upstairs and let their horses run around on the floor, dropping several marble boulders in the process. Noise can be a one off, so I wouldn't place too much stock in this. We didn't complain to management that night, but did mention it on our way out in case they were staying a second night. -- Value ** Despite all that, this is a cheaper property at under $150 per night. -- Breakfast * Standard Hampton Inn fare. The waffle was okay, the eggs were overdone, but the selections were pretty standard. -- Overall ** If you don't care about dated rooms with impossible to clean details and are on a budget, but also like a safe place with breakfast included, this might be a good option.
