Alpine Trail Ridge Inn

8/10 Good
"We were a little unsure when we first pulled in. The pictures were a little misleading, but the room was clean and roomy. The people who arrived ahead of us were apparently difficult and the manager was a little upset and not super friendly. After she had a chance to calm down, she was very helpful and pleasant. The balcony view was a little disappointing. Yes, the mountains were beautiful, but didn’t particularly enjoy the highway view."

"The cottage was so cozy and the view from the river was amazing! The check-in process was easy and the communication was prompt. One piece of information I would have found helpful was how to lock the door when leaving the property. The only thing I would say as a negative was how hot the cottage was without central cooling. The fan provided is definitely needed. I would stay here again!"
