This 1930's hotel was a delight to stay in. Keep in mind that this hotel still has so much of the original infrastructure, the electrical would be insane to fully update as well as the plumbing etc. The owners try to keep the old world charm that this hotel is known for but that comes with not always having the up to date conveniences that we are all used to. Sure they only have portable AC units but to upgrade the electrical in that building would drive the cost of room stays up to much higher amounts. To renovate the bathrooms and plumbing would do the same. We personally loved the throw back to the early 1900's feel this place had. The owners are just wonderful hardworking people. We had a flight issue and were delayed by hours and would miss check in. One call and the owner texted me directions on how to self check in and also told me to get food in Colorado Springs before making the drive as all restaurants in the town are closed early. They checked on us the next day making sure we were comfortable and happy. Support these local owners, they put alot into this place!! This is the place we will stay when in Monte Vista!!

Loved waking up in a bubble right next to a sand dune! The stars are amazing from your porch. Lots of friendly cats wandering around, too.

This lodge was perfect for our one night stay before an early morning hike. We had 3 beds, a clean bathroom, shampoo (etc), coffee, a nice TV. Only advice would be to bring a blanket as the bedding was a little light. We really appreciated being able to stay here given the prices at other similar places. The outside might seem a little old school, but in the best eat, So clean and comfortable inside.

This place was like brand new, everything was clean and well stocked. Staff was very helpful and nice. Plenty of parking. Breakfast was well maintained and stocked, staff ensured that.

Property is dated; does need done renovation, painting, overall ipkerp
