Great stay

I should have read the reviews. Outside of the location, I can't think of a good reason to stay here again. Check in was a breeze. Front desk was pleasant. Bed was comfortable (but sheets stained). Nice view from the patio, and two free liquid death waters. Outside picknick tables and multiple corn holes. Not to mention nice patios with fire pits. Thats where the fun ends. I chose this hotel because they had an ice bath and it was 3 miles away from my 50k race. Unfortunately the ice bath wasnt working. Good thing the lake is right across the street. We stayed on the bottom floor in the enclosed hallway where the laundry is and we didnt get much sleep. Best to stay on the top floor. Saturday we had decent neighbors but you could hear every little noise. The walls are paper thin so even with respectful neighbors, this place is loud. Doors closing, people talking, tvs running. Its a lot. They are aware of how thin the walls are so they provide ear buds on the sink to drown out the noise. Sunday night was pretty awful because the people in the next room were on the patio partying it up until 11:30pm before taking it inside and running it up until 3am. I had just ran a 50k and I didnt sleep more than 2.5 hours because of them. To top it off, housekeeping started their duties at 7am. Doors slamming, laundry running, loud conversations. No chance of us trying to recover from the night before. If you're looking for somewhere quiet, this is not the spot.

Staff!!!

Do not stay at Kit Carson Lodge! This was the most Disappointing stay at hotel I have ever had. When I checked in and went to our room- Jeffrey- the room smelled of gas/propane. We tried to turn on the heater but the pilot light never lit. After going to the front desk I was helped by Candace as she came to the room fairly quickly & she seemed to “fix” the problem by slowly turning the thermostat over.Not long after the heater turned off and it didn’t work for the remainder of the night. At 1 am we woke up freezing (it was an expected low of 24 deg that night) and we could do nothing to get it to work and heard the pilot light trying to ignite all night long. As we laid awake we heard scurrying and we are pretty sure we had a mouse or two in our room running around. At 6 am and freezing I went find someone to fix the heater & see about breakfast. I couldn’t find anyone in the lodge and ran into the maintenance guy, as well as noticing that the restaurant doesn’t serve food until NOON! With a child this is not ok!After a few minutes the maintenance guy came and tried to fix the heater and he was unsuccessful.When he left to go find a screwdriver to work on it it randomly turned on. When checking out I voiced my complaint & was told I may get a 10% discount.That doesn’t cover freezing, not sleeping and losing a day because of the fact that we didn’t sleep. It was too expensive we should’ve camped.I would appreciate someone contacting me asap. I wouldn’t recommend to anyone!
