I booked online at midday and arrived at 10 pm. I did not realize when I booked the room that there was not a front desk to check in to our room. There was a flyer posted on a door next to the en suite stating that a room number and door code should have been sent via text message by 4 pm, and if a message hadn’t been received, to call or text the number on the flyer. I then sent a text (the preferred method of contact according to the flyer) and called, but no one answered. After sitting in the parking lot for half an hour, we decided to cut our losses and drive into Fraser/Winter Park to find lodging for the evening. An hour after the initial text was sent, we received our room and door code. By that point, we had already found another place to stay for the night.

Old, dirty, rundown, and in disrepair! Rug and floors were filthy, bed covers and blankets were dirty and smelly. The shower was old and mildewed. The kitchenette faucet dripped continuously. This dilapidated, dirty mess should be demolished. It’s like something from a slum in a third-world country. I have lost all trust in Expedia. Why are you advertising and booking nasty places like this???

The room was cute (with a unifying theme), check-in was smooth, and it had good wi-fi, a microwave, and a minifridge -- all of which were appreciated. The cleanliness left a lot to be desired. Sink drain needs to be snaked. Bathroom walls were disgusting (with hairs and the build-up of greasy yellow-brown residue) and the sink needed a good wipe-down as well. Very dark in the shower, but that was probably just as well. Wad of hair on the fitted sheet. No air conditioning. It was sweltering. I opened the window to try to get some evening air in, but someone started smoking outside, so I had to close it again. Too hot to sleep. There was a fan placed on the bedside table, but it moved so little air I could barely feel it on my face six inches away. Many midge-like flying insects in the bathroom (coming up out of the sink?). Large crack under door admitted assorted other arthropod visitors. If there was ice available, I did not know where it was or how to avail myself of it. I had to hold the extension cord in an elevated position to get the microwave to work. Wi-fi was excellent.

Had to carry microwave into bathroom and set on the sink to use. Window screen missing with no A/C. No security locks of any kind on entry door. A little Mtce and care could turn this rating around.

The rooms were dirty with stains on walls, gross shower. Tiny trash can in room, no other garbage on site (where to throw dog poop bags away?) it’s right off the main highway so it’s loud from traffic and no where to walk safely from here. The beds were janky and squeaky. The walls were paper thin, I woke up early every morning because I could hear everyone else around talking, coughing, and closing car doors. There was so banging noises two doors down coming from a utility room. The mini fridge stopped working without me knowing and all the food I brought went bad. No ice machine or hair dryer. It felt like a very expensive camping trip because I felt dirty the whole time.

Needs TLC
Needs much updating... The room was dark with small table lamps and a few sockets missing bulbs. A little love like updating with brighter colors, new shower curtain, etc. would help.

Good luck checking in
Check in was a nightmare. The proprietor was supposed to send us information about our room with a key code in advance. Because I knew we'd have spotty phone coverage with our plan there, I asked SEVERAL TIMES over SEVERAL DAYS for them to e-mail me the information. They never did. I arrived and had no access to my room, in an establishment with no office. Borrowed a phone from two other visitors (had to knock on some doors), and they tried contacting the proprietor on our behalf with no luck either. By a stroke of luck, the property handyman pulled up to do some work (he was terrific, personable, and I'm deserves a commendation), and he was able to contact the owner to get the information. Other guests reported similar issues. The property is fine. The location is great. The price is superb. Despite that, I will never stay there again-- it's playing roulette with check-in.

The Timberline Inn is a budget friendly place to stay. If you’re looking for on site amenities this wouldn’t fit your needs. We were fine with the Inn because it provided a convenient place to sleep while spending most of our time in Grand Lake and Rocky Mountain National Park. The property appears to be an “old style” motel. It could be made a lot more attractive if the grounds in front and behind the building were cleaned up.

Timberline Inn is a low cost option. While the bed was hard (not my favorite), the pillows were very good. Small shower but the water pressure and warmth were excellent. When we asked for fresh towels and more soap, e.g., they were provided timely. Small fridge and microwave were convenient. Only a few plates but only one butterknife, no dish soap or dish towels. FYI!

I absolutely love the location of the property for visiting multiple places in Grand County. The property overlooks the lake with great views! I sat on the wooden chairs outside and enjoyed my coffee every morning staring out at the lake. It’s about what I expected from a simple mountain motel. I absolutely loved the layout of the room. We were in number seven and to my surprise it had a bedroom and a main room each with one queen bed. It was perfect for my daughter and I to have some Space or would be great for different parties traveling together. The kitchenette was simple bare bones but adequate. Definitely bring your own Coffee and creamer as that won’t get refilled, We even brought a toaster another utensils. It was really nice to have a full-size sink. The fridge is on the small side, but we made it work. The furnishings were adequate and I did enjoy the lodge mountain vibe Of the room. OK, here is my primary complaint, it needs a DEEP clean. Most of my concern is the bathroom in general. A little bit of elbow grease and maybe a new light fixture and mirror combination would do wonders! Maybe a simple piece of art as well. But really it is the shower that was most unpleasant. Definitely needs redone or at least bleached out. Clean the walls and baseboards! Clean the ceiling! Clean the light fixtures! All that being said, I would probably stay again. It would be so much better if it had a deep clean! Then I would definitely stay again!!!

No communication, not much TP, few outlets
I received NO communication prior to my arrival and had no details on my room number or my keyless entry code. I had to call hotels.com (kudos to them!) and have their rep contact the property for the information I needed. When I checked in, the room smelled like wet dog. There was less than a half-roll of toilet paper, which did not get me through my stay. Luckily I always carry an extra roll with me. The shower curtain was opaque, meaning you are nearly showering in the dark. The TV worked (meaning I could turn it on), but there were only five local channels and they were all really the same station. If the TV is supposed to have more options, then please have your housekeeper set the TV up so that it works the way it should the moment your guests turn it on. Lastly, I expect that these "rustic" places will have few outlets, but this could easily be enhanced with a charging station of some type. There was a power strip, but much of it was dedicated to other devices already. I will NOT be staying here again.
