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.

I'm very upset with this place. I was looking for a room once again in Parachute, so I stopped in…read moreat the Grand River. Upon registering, I was told that there would be a $12 charge for parking! Twelve bucks! In Parachute?!! Why I asked. The lady said, "Well, that's what they're doing in Denver." I walked out. I drove on and stayed in Meeker, which was much more pleasant, and charging to park in the Motel lot wasn't even a thought. I refuse to be gouged for parking in a town with no more people in it than live on my block back home. DON'T GET SUCKED INTO THIS SCAM. Grand River is taking advantage of travelers, and they should be ashamed of themselves. Never have I seen such blatant thievery. Absolutely disgusting. It's a bad business decision. Besides, who wants to do what Denver does. They can't even field a good football team.

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

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!! But you'll have to find out just how outstanding it is by reading my YELP for that establishment. Give White River your business. You will be helping preserve the past while providing memories for the future. 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. These days, an unrestrained couple next door has the potential of keeping you entertained during the night, early morning, late morning, and if your stay includes it, early afternoon! I remember those days, and am not against being reminded of them from time to time. What the heck, they haven't planted me yet.

This place is crazy. We are part of the Hilton family and stay at a lot of Hampton Inns so we are…read morefamiliar with the service we can expect at a Hampton Inn: comfy beds, great breakfast, etc. Hampton Inn Rifle has got to be the WORST HI we have ever stayed at. Where shall I start: *SOMEONE'S DIRTY UNDERWEAR: We checked in and she gave us a room on the 4th floor. As soon as we walked in, I noticed the sheets were a bit wrinkled. I asked my kids if they sat on the beds and they said no. As I was unloaded out suitcases off the luggage cart, that's when I saw it: IS THAT SOMEONE'S UNDERWEAR RIGHT BESIDE THE TV STAND? Yes it is.. GROSS! *STINKY SHEETS: Once I saw the underwear I knew the place hadn't been cleaned. I picked up a pillow and took a whiff: EWW.. head sweat, like someone took a hike and went to sleep. That means whoever cleaned this room just remade the bed. Double gross. We went downstairs and I asked for a different floor altogether as whoever cleaned the fourth floor has failed. We were moved to the third floor and I did a sniff test and it seemed decent. The only issue we had was with the tub's water spout: when we pulled the leaver up for the shower, half the water was still spewing out the main faucet... so wasteful! But then we moved on to breakfast: *EGGS, SAUSAGE, POTATOES: So far so good. This platter of food was decent. *WAFFLES: That hot basic breakfast item what is expected was completely gone. No waffles for you! *ORANGE JUICE: None. No OJ. Just apple and the Tropical Mango 'juice' tasted like colored water. Horrible experience, dirty rooms, breakfast was a fail. This Hampton Inn should not be considered as part of the Hilton family AT ALL. We will NOT be coming back to this Hampton Inn nor do we recommend staying here. Someone from Hilton needs to come to this location and do an expectation check as this location completely fails all requirements of what the Hilton hotels represent.
