Rv and tent camping. Beautiful views of Mount Blanca, close to Zapata Falls, close to the Great Sand Dunes, close to Mountain Home Lake and Smith Lake.
Turn off of Hwy 160 north on Storm road, continue north, Storm road turns into Oak Ave, after about two miles the first property to your left is your destination!
Comfortable hotel and a very decent rate. Bottled water is available for only $1. That is a very convenient and nice touch.
First time at a My Place, last minute reservation, front desk was great. Asked for a certain room, got it. Noise was minimum and I loved it was far enough off the interstate we didn't hear traffic. Cleaner had an odd smell to it that my husband immediately reacted slightly to. I had no problems. If you have a sensitivity, ask to see or smell room first.
Water out of sink was great! We miss Colorado water (used to live 15 miles east of hotel) and theirs delivered.
We liked that Starbucks was right there.
Easy to navigate to and from.
Only bad score would be to check out clerk telling me ice was back up in the fridge and let me go get it, which it was empty, then telling me I was supposed to turn it on last night. If I didn't know where the ice was in the first place. . ?
But over all good stay.
10-14-2023 one Queen bed. Finally, a hotel that doesn't make me pay for a breakfast I won't eat! I was happy with everything in my room. The queen bed was comfortable, the lighting was bright (for makeup), the A/C was responsive to temperature changes and quiet, the tub drained, there was a full length mirror, the coffee maker worked, the fridge was large,... The young woman who checked me in wasn't the best as she gave me my keys and said, "Your room is on there". No it wasn't. I showed it to her and she realized she forgot to write it on the paper key holder. In any case she should have told me my room number and how to get to it, not just handed me the keys and let me figure it out. The hotel itself was perfect. There's a nearby Starbucks if that's your thing. Oh, and I really appreciated the brightly lit parking area. I drove my Acura NSX and was looking out my window to make sure it was okay. :-D
Genuinely felt like a home base on our long trip. Cozy, comfortable, spotlessly clean, full sized fridge, tiny stovetop, and a tiny shop in the lobby for snacks and microwave meals.
Staff was excellent, every employee we met was happy to help and happy in general. You could tell the job treats them well.
For a right-off-the-highway stop, our ground floor view was still breathtaking?? We could see Cathedral Rock, the mountains, and part of, I believe, the USAF Academy. I've never picked a hotel for the view much less paid extra for one, but this was gorgeous. The area is still being developed, so potentially this view will be obstructed by other businesses soon.
Not highly relevant, but late at night our neighbors in the next room cooked something that smelled fantastic when we entered the hallway. They brought their own cookware, we happened to have our own dishware and eating utensils, so this is a good place for practical travelers.
We loved this place so much we did our best to clean up after ourselves because it was so nice when we came in!
