Detailed Reviews
The bathroom floors were dirty, water was running in the bathtubs and could not be shut off, windows had holes in them that were taped.
Their ad on the web says 3 hot tub. There sign at the entrance says 2 hot tubs, but both were down for "repairs--awaiting parts"
I would not recommend. We talked with 2 other couples that has stayed there 5 or 6 years before and had the same feelings then that we had this year. Interesting.
We have stayed at the Red Mountain Inn before and will go there next time.

Absolutely the worst hotel I have stayed at in the last 20 years. This is an old Holiday Inn that was condemed. Disgusting and in disrepair. Supposedly it is being converted to hotel club rooms, the place is a mess. No carpets in hallways, rooms had leaking toilets and tubs, drywall hanging off the ceiling, old crappy furniture, ick! Avoid this place at all cost.

This was by far the worst place I have ever stayed! Noise, dirty & the front dest people were the worst. Bathroom was at best creepy. Bring a cheap pair of slippers because you will want to throw them away when you leave after walking on the carpet. I really should have went with my gut instincts and left, but I relly didnt want to hassel with it...My mistake. Makes me shudder to think when the bed spreads my have been washed??? Their so call free dinner was the biggest rip off of all! This was when it was knowns as "Marshall Dillons" Our free dinner cost us $40+ $'s. My friend ordered the Vegatable Alfredo & she was charge extra for the vegetables!! Xtra charge for everything...butter, sour cream etc... when we question the waiter, he became hostil and insisted he wasn't ripping us off....unbelivebale behavior screeming & yelling at us to the point our children were frighten of him. We complained to the front desk, but were told "We have never had a complaint about him before (shrug of the shoulders), another words "Oh Well..Go away attitude. Pay a bit more down the street, you won't be sorry! This place was a dump a couple of years back & from the other reviews it still is. Feels as if your staying at a "Working Girls Inn!.The Chamber of Commerce should be ashamed of it's self to have this place on their web site.

I went to Glenwood Springs with my fiance for a romantic trip. We stayed at the 1st choice inn for two nights. I can honestly say that this is the worst hotel I have ever stayed in (and I have stayed in some bad ones), I would much rather of gone camping then stayed here. The walls are paper thin you can hear when someone is walking around upstairs or taking a shower. All of the three hot tubs were broken. The mattress was VERY hard and lumpy and the room had a very moldy/dirty look to it. Things in the room were either missing or broken or so dirty that you didn't want to use them. Whatever you do, don't stay here it is absolutely disgusting!

Disgustingly dirty from top to bottom. I feel sorry for the couple who own this place. Evidently they got into something they can't graciously get out of.
The city of Glenwood Springs should step in and shut this place down to prevent people from wasting their money. We had reservations for a week and left after 1 day.

We went as a group, it was terrible! As noted in the other reviews, leaking bathrooms, no AC in summer, when we complained we were blown off, we did manage to get one night's stay refunded, but we had to find another place in the middle of a motorcycle run when there was nothing available...we were lucky to find one room down the road...the chamber of commerce and health dept should close this place down...

DO NOT STAY HERE!!! I was on the last leg of a trip out west with my two children and we were (unfortunately) coming into Glenwood Springs after dark. I'd been driving about 12 hours and called my husband at home to get on the internet and find some hotels in the area. After calling several of the numbers he'd given me, one of the hotels suggested this dump since all others in the area seemed to be filled for the evening.
For $50 bucks a night, it seemed a good deal with 2 beds, a fridge and microwave and a non-smoking room - NOT.
After checking in and reserving for a second night, I turned the corner to go upstairs with my 2 small daughters and there was a couple in a - should we say - "compromised" situation on the couch in the hallway.
As we walked upstairs, the dirt, crumbs and scum on the carpeting was so thick you could rake it up.
The cleaning staff apparently uses massive amounts of cinnamon to disguise the odor of the smoke and filth in this hotel.
Our "non-smoking" room, at first glance, looked somewhat nice. However, as the night wore on, the stench of cigarette smoke permeated the room and became almost unbearable. I attributed it to a lone rebel defying the rules - but I was wrong.
The following morning, with my face swollen and my sinuses affected from the smoke, I went downstairs to partake of their "continental breakfast". I explained my dilemma to the front desk "person". They pulled up my room number and proceeded to tell me that they had to charge me more for the current night because I wasn't charged enough the night before. He said the only way he could determine who was smoking was if he knocked on a door. I said "OK", meaning "go ahead".
I explained that I understood that the charge was already made against my credit card. He said "no", that he would have to charge me now. I explained that there was no indication that I would be charged more.
He grumbled and said under his breath ..."cheapest room in town"....
But he charged the same amount as the night before.
We went out for the day and stayed away until 6pm, when we returned to our room for the night.
At 1:30 am, after putting perfume to my nose and soaking a kleenex with perfume to block the cigarette smell, I told my oldest daughter that I just couldn't see staying there till later in the morning when I couldn't breathe now. I went to the front desk.
I explained the situation to the desk clerk who told me he couldn't refund my charge because I would have to wait till Monday when the person came in who was in charge of that.
I asked for the corporate office number. I was told that it is individually owned and the owner is the one who will make the decision.
I got my 2 little girls in the car and we left that hole at 1:30 am. and drove out of there.
I was told the hotels in this area are all booked up because companies are putting their workers in these places. It means that tourists passing through have to suffer the consequences.
I wish there was something I could do to get my $55 bucks back. This place is a dump and a dive.
DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT STAYING HERE!!

My stay was in July 2005, and the previous review said the same as my findings - broken window with duck tape, air conditioner not working. No deduct on the bill for the 2nd room with no air conditioner. Rude desk people. They are suppose to be remodeling for a vacation club sales and obviously need alot of help in all aspects. Hallway carpets were a disgrace. Some hallways had none. We tried to eat at their attached restaurant they include in their package. Food was not edible! We cancelled the remaining 3 room packages. The mattresses were shot and we all had a bad, bad night.

My husband & I went there on a fantastic deal they had. We stayed 2nights and were given in the deal Dinner at the resturant right there with the establishment. I want to say Fantastic food cozy atmosphere they made us feel like we were a part of the small community and at home we also received tickets to the glenwood pool wow that was wonderful. The rooms were very clean and the amenities in the room fantastic Refrigerator & hair dryer & Coffee pot if anyone found this place not to there liking then they must be someone unable to please.
