Detailed Reviews
Extremely clean room, super comfortable bed, two very important qualities in my book. I also like a small refrige, good water pressure, drive up (first floor) for easy unpacking, and quiet. It is located on I-70 but once you enter the room it was very quiet. Even the air conditioner was quiet. We enjoyed the Adirondack chairs next to our door, while the I-70 noise is loud, we sat and ate our dinner. The front desk supplied us with paper plates and plastic knives and forks. This little mom&pop hotel is an excellent value.

We have always wanted to stay at this motel, attracted to the view and ability to park close by in front of your room. The property is very clean, updated and nice. Window coverings are replaced with shutters, and windows that actually open if you like fresh air. We like that there is no smoking on the property and no pets. The beds were very comfortable with nice pillows. No carpeting, so the room smelled fresh and clean with laminate flooring. The shower was nice. The view is beautiful, but not if your room is right in front of the staircase.
The following comments are no big deal, but worth mentioning: no breakfast available. There are no hangers in the freestanding wardrobe closet, no hooks on the wall for jackets, swimming suits or beach towels. No clock in the room. No extra blankets. The TV is very small and not mounted on the wall, so it sets very low. No table or chair in the room. In room 117, the bathroom vent did not work and a lightbulb was burned out above the sink. They were a little skimpy on towels. And the toilet runs a long time after flushing. One of our windows did not have a screen. The nightstand lamp base was dusty.
The office hours and voicemail system could be improved, along with outdated info on the website. There are resident dogs in the manager’s living premises which bark loudly when guests are checking in. It was loud enough to be annoying if your room is near the office.
We might try this property again, but know that there are dozens of other choices in Glenwood Springs.

My wife and I stayed this past weekend for 3 nights. Very clean and comfortable. They currently aren't cleaning your room during your stay so if you want clean towels, etc you just need to ask. This was perfectly fine with us. We would stay there again.

My husband and I booked a room for Friday July 30, 2021, one day before on a road trip thru Colorado. On Friday afternoon, we were in Hotchkiss, about 2 hours away when looking on the CDOT website, we realized from where we were all roads to Glenwood Springs were closed due to active mudslides. I immediately called the hotel to let them know there was no way we could get there. The front desk woman I spoke to was rude and didn’t seem to understand that our arrival was impossible given our location and the road closures. She referred me to our booking agent. When I finally got thru to them, they also called the hotel and asked for a refund . The hotel refused. I called the hotel again and the manager literally yelled at me that because they couldn’t resell the room, I couldn’t get a refund and it wasn’t his fault. I am now pursuing this thru my CC company. Don’t stay there I say.

Response from Mike W, General Manager at Hanging Lake Inn
Responded Aug 1, 2021
Hi Kim, We apologize for the inconvenience with your reservation, however, what you personally stated was and is absolutely not true. When you initially called to cancel, the front desk had mentioned that your reservation that you booked was with Booking.com. Since the reservation was made through them, you would have to cancel through them as well. We unfortunately could not cancel the reservation for you since it was not held directly through us. We did not receive any contact from either you yourself or Booking.com until 10:00pm on the day of your arrival. We simply told you what your options were if you were not able to fulfill your reservation. We are all not perfect, yet human, but in no way did we yell at you or disrespect you in any way. The Hanging Lake Inn values customer service above all else with respect towards everyone. We again apologize for any inconveniences, however, it seems that your negative review is directed more towards our cancellation policy. We truly understand your frustration in regards to the situation, but there was nothing we could have done on our part within the time frame that was given to us based upon our initial communication.

Our travels take me across Colorado on I-70 frequently. We've stayed in several of the hotels in the area from economy to the Hotel Colorado, but never at this property, which is a classic roadside motel. You should definitely give this small property a shot.
Reasonably priced and convenient to I-70, the Inn appears to have been recently renovated. My room was nicely decorated and very comfortable. The staff is very friendly.
Doors open to the parking lot and the place gets some noise from the Interstate and I think I heard a train at some point in the evening. But I consider the noise level to be minimal.
One other point: as you might guess from its location, the parking lot entrance is very steep, so slow down if you don't want your vehicle to scrape.

If you are a minimalist and think that Motel 6 is too luxurious, then this is the place for you. It was clean and very bare bones. It had a bed and a few amenities like a sink, shower, and toilet. The toilet was very useful as there were no chairs in the room so it provided a place to sit. There were no curtains but a nice-looking set of horizontal blinds was provided but the spaces between the slats allowed light to come through.. The pillows were typical motel lumps but we always travel with our own pillows so we were not stuck using them. The lack of carpeting was tolerable but the 1/2 inch high divider between the sleeping area and the bathroom area was a dangerous nuisance as we both stumbled over it. I guess we're just clumsy.. We were disappointed with the room because the exterior looked so nice and inviting. The view, however, is wonderful. Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. This time we were losers.

My husband and I head to Glenwood Springs every fall for a week's get-away. We have stayed at Hanging Lake Inn every year for at least the past 9 years. We love the "mom and pop" inn and supporting a locally owned business. We love that the inn is so "squeaky clean" and has parking right in front of your door. We take munchies, sandwich fixings and breakfast items with us, so the refrigerator, microwave and Keurig come in handy! The washer/dryer is great and we usually pack light since we wash clothes at least once during our stay. So, if you want a great stay in a super nice inn, Hanging Lake Inn is for you!

The family that runs this Inn are great to work with. I recently stayed with them while my wife was having surgery at Valley View Hospital, and they went above and beyond my expectations. My original stay was for approx. 3-4 days, but when I found she would not be released for a while, they made special accommodations, including changing rooms around so that I would not have to change my room.
Also, the Hanging Lake Inn is squeaky clean and very quiet. Once the door closes, you DO NOT hear I-70. You are close to many great places to eat and to see in Glenwood. I would rate them a 10, but the scale only goes to 5!!

The room was clean and spacious. There is no carpeting which is great. The flooring consists of tile and vinyl wood laminate. The bed was comfortable and we got a great night's sleep. The fridge included a freezer so we could refreeze our ice packs. With the exception of large trucks early in the morning we did not hear the I-70 traffic from inside our room. Of course, when we sat on the Adirondack chairs outside of our room, we did hear traffic, but the views are beautiful and well worth enjoying outside.
They do not offer any services which means there is no breakfast. Not a problem for us because we went to the grocery store in town and picked up some food. There are plenty of restaurants nearby that serve breakfast. We did request additional coffee for our second day and the staff brought it to us very quickly. The rooms come with a Keurig.
This is a great, convenient location to spend time in the mountains and it is just a short drive to Aspen.

The Hanging Lake Inn is a diamond off main street. We stay at this quaint location every time we head to Glenwood Springs to soak in the hot springs. This place doesn't offer breakfast, a gym or even a pool, but what it does offer is great customer service. The owners of this gem are gems themselves. I would recommend this quaint hotel to anyone that makes their way to Glenwood.

I didn't hear the traffic at all once the door was closed. I think sitting outside, you would probably be able to hear it but not that much.
Hi Scott,
Unfortunately we do not accept pets here at the Hanging Lake Inn. No offense to your pets as we are pet lovers ourselves, but the best way I can explain it is all the bad people ruining it for the good people. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Please let us know if you have any other questions/concerns.
They don’t offer any shuttle but it is less than 2mls, 7mins driving, only.
We drove into town each evening and found ample parking each day. Lots of great little restaurants just over the bridge. Highly recommend the Italian Underground Restaurant in the basement of a building just to the right as you come into town over the bridge.
