6/10 Good

Was a nice hotel for my family of 4 kids my room came with a bunk bed set of 4 beds and a king size bed so it worked out perfectly. My kids loved that it had a ps3 and a tv just for the kids to play on. The only downside was the hotels upkeep was not very good. The jet for the hot tub was not working.

Close to Mesa Verde

Not the Holiday Inn hotels I'm used to. The parking lot was very dark and the interior was dated. We only stayed one night for the close proximity to Mesa Verde NP.
