The experience started with a **30-minute check-in**. Even though we had already paid all taxes through Expedia, the owner charged us extra. When we politely questioned the charges, he was extremely rude and completely unwilling to help. Instead of explaining the situation professionally, he became visibly angry, aggressively slammed and handled his computer monitor, creating a very uncomfortable and intimidating atmosphere.
To make things worse, there is **no elevator**, so we had to carry our large suitcases up the stairs ourselves.
The room itself was disappointing. It wasn't clean, the **shower knob barely worked**, and the entire property felt old, outdated, and poorly maintained. Despite advertising itself as a **smoke-free hotel**, the owner was smoking right outside, and the cigarette smoke drifted into our room. The bright exterior lights also made it difficult to get a good night's sleep.
The only positives were the convenient location and ample parking. Every other hotel we stayed at in Colorado offered cleaner rooms, better amenities, and much friendlier service for the same or even lower price. I honestly wouldn't pay more than **$60** for this property. If you're visiting Leadville, do yourself a favor and book somewhere else. I would never stay here again.
