Absolutely nothing but praise for this place. Astonishing value, well run, great location, excellent facilities .... What more can be said?

We loved the Rocky Mountain Inn and Hostel! The price is utterly fantastic for what you get. I had booked a private room with a king and a queensize bed. Both beds were very comfortable. There was plenty of storage space. There was a small refrigerator in the room as well as a TV and clock radio. The Inn is immaculate! Our room had a view of the mountains. (I think all rooms have a view!) We watched dvd's every night. The front desk provides them for free! There is absolutely No Smoking allowed.

Every morning we went to the small private kitchen for breakfast...your choice of 3 different kinds of cereals, oranges, apples, muffins, waffles, hard boiled eggs, eggs for you to fry, hot chocolate, coffee, instant and regular oatmeal, plenty of milk, jams, butter, syrup. There were even some spices on the wall if you decided to cook anything. It was great waking up, going downstairs to make your coffee, and eat your breakfast, at no additional charge. Just make sure you bring some slippers because the kitchen floor gets a little cold. By the second day, I was eating breakfast in my pajamas at the kitchen table and chatting up the other guests. It was great. Bring respectable pajamas and a good robe for this pupose.

The Inn is a very short distance from Winter Park Ski Resort. I can't imagine staying anywhere else if you want to ski Winter Park. Save your money and stay here. I know the Inn is in "Fraser", but I can't even believe Winter Park and Fraser are two different towns, they're that close.

BTW, for $1 you can wash and dry a load of laundry any day after 4:00 p.m. They even provide the laundry soap. (They're in use during the day, so if you have wash, do it in the evening.)

There's even a computer onsite for internet access. Just a very small fee involved for hooking up to the internet. ($2 or so)

Don't let the word "hostel" scare you away. The upstairs is where the "hostel" guests stay. It seems like a really fun place for young people. I didn't get to see the sleeping quarters for the hostel. The hostel kitchen upstairs is a gourmet's dream. Plus there's a living room up there where people hang out and watch tv. If you're ever thinking about booking a family or group vacation, this might be the place to do it!

There is no covered parking, and that is the only drawback I can think of.

Have a great time at the Rocky Mountain Inn and Hostel!

A perfect stay! We had a private room with a lovely king bed. Housekeeping did a meticulous job and the room was spotless. I loved the fact that you have to take your shoes off when you enter, it gives things a homely feel. Price per night in June was a steal. We will definetly be back and hopefully next time for longer.

Lonely Planet strikes again. I took their advice and booked this place. I do not regret it. 25 bucks get you a bed, a locker, a place to store skiis & boots, access to a phone & internet, access to a kitchen, and a TV. Loos & Showers are shared, but there are enough of them to go round, and very clean.

Dorms are gender segregated.

Decent bunch of people around. Mostly single travellers, or students working short-term at the ski resort. The staff are nice & helpful.

Location is not so great. It is located in a little township about 3kms from Winterpark resort. There is a free resort shuttle bus that runs about Once every half hour in peak times (and once an hour off peak). This takes people right to the ski base, through the winterpark town.

There is a nice diner right next door, who do an amazing breakfast. A shopping center across the road has a Radio Shack, a pizza place, and a very nice cafe (the best coffee I had during my 6-weeks in the States). This cafe also has a live band in the evening. There is a supermarket in the vicinity too.
