“On a Budget? This the Place for You...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012

people found this review helpful

So you don't want to spend a ton of money for a hotel in Glenwood Springs? Like everyone said... it's basic, Clean accommodations. The lady manager at the front desk was kind and made sure we had a room with a refrigerator and a microwave since we had young children. She also gave us a room with WiFi, but I could never get a good signal. This allowed less time on the internet and more time to rest, spend time with the wife and kids and to catch up on old school cartoons on the boomerang network when we weren't out and about in Glenwood Springs.

Do your homework... you get a good price, but there is No Shampoo here. My wife and I bring our own usually. There is soap and plenty of clean towels. There are clean sheets. There's no coffee in the rooms, but there is some in the office.

The beds are firm, so if you like a soft bed, don't expect to like it. Remember, I said firm, not hard. I've slept on much harder beds in much more pricier hotels.

No pets are allowed here which was nice... no barking at night. In fact, this was a nice quiet motel.

Something else that was nice was Wal-Mart was located a block or so behind if you forgot anything.

My family and I will stay here next time we are in town!

Room Tip: Ask for a room with a refrigerator, microwave and a Strong internet connection if that is what you n...

“Great basic accommodation”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 November 2011
2
people found this review helpful

As others have said, it's a basic motel, clean, basic breakfast, no problems, at a good price.
My only complaint: the heater (a combo with air conditioner) lacked a thermostat, so it was either on or off. So when it got too warm in the middle of the night, had to get up and turn it off.
On the plus side, the owners kept our bikes in their garage, no problem.

“Great little place to stay, if you are traveling through...”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 October 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We stayed at the Frontier Lodge last week, and it was a great little spot. It is the cheapest place to stay in town, according to Priiceline. We requested a king, with no problem. The man at the front desk, who I gathered to be the owner, was friendly. The rooms are very clean and quiet. The continental breakfast was OK, The only thing we didn't like was that there was no juice offered in the morning, just coffee and milk. Would stay again for the price. P.S. Get a sushi roll at the Chinese restaurant next door! Very good food, with a bar!

Room Tip: We stayed in Room 106, with a King.

“A good value...clean and basic”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 October 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I stayed a couple of days to tour the area. I found this motel to be a good price, clean, and convenient. The place was basic, but very acceptable. The main thing was that it was fairly new and clean. That goes a long way for me.

“Frugal or cheap”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 October 2011
2
people found this review helpful

The rooms are very clean but I will leave it up to you to decide whether the owner is frugal or cheap. Curtains in the room are not room darkening thus light comes through. You get only two of some of the smallest bath towels I have seen and one washcloth. You get no shampoo or conditioner and two tiny bars of soap. We had to sit near the door with our laptop on a chair to pick up wifi and even then the signal was poor. Breakfast is cold cereal, bagels or English muffins. There is coffee but no juice. For more than budget prices you get less than budget amenities.
My vote is cheap. I also noted how few reviews here are written by people with more than one review. Coincidence - you decide.
