The lights in our room didn’t work unless you jiggled the cord(loose) I asked the (what looked like) maintenance guy and he said “yeah” waved his hand and went into a room. Never came to look at it. Asked the same guy for some towels and coffee for the room, did the exact same thing and never came back. The pool is ICE cold, no one could swim in it. And it’s apparently salt water The hot tub is shut down. The hot water in the rooms gets extremely hot, fast. I burnt myself a couple times and my son did in the shower also. The breakfast is small cups of coffee and mini muffins.

Hotel Stay
If you need a place to sleep in transit to your next destination this place is okay. The AC went out at 2 am in the morning and everyone in the hotel was unable to get a hold of anyone from the staff. I booked 2 rooms and both rooms were dirty and had to be recleaned. The hot tub is broke and the pool is ice cold. If you want a place for the family to enjoy then I recommended a place closer to the town. If you just want a basic room to sleep so you can wake up in the morning and continue your travel then this place will do.

Good location, just outside of the center of keystone. Close enough to the fun but far enough away to have quiet evenings. The staff was very friendly, the pool and pool deck were clean and well maintained. The room was small but cozy, mini fridge and microwave were available in the room.

I brought my dog with me who is not a service dog, but a support dog. The staff was very accommodating, and when it came to breakfast offered to watch my dog for me while I went in to get some food. I was super impressed with the attention that I saw that they gave to their guests.
