“Mary Poppins must live here. "Absolutely perfect in every way".”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 March 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Rocky Mountain Chalet (and Hostel) is half upscale lodge, half hostel. Mary Poppins must stay here. “Absolutely perfect in every way”. The photos posted on the web site are true. The staff dotes on cleanliness (No shoes past the front lobby). The atmosphere is much more friendly than the standard hotel where you may only meet the desk clerk.

The Hostel portion is upstairs where the dorm rooms offer a continuous stream of guests. These guests range from students to older professionals and their families. This is where everyone will meet at breakfast and dinner encouraging you to chat with all comers.

The upstairs dining area is connected to a large kitchen with two stoves, two microwaves, two sinks and two refrigerator/freezers where guests display a wide range of cooking skills (from TV dinners to chef level).

Downstairs, the private bedrooms are big enough to spend time with your family and are newly refurbished and very well appointed.

You had better reserve space early as this place seems to become a habit bringing everybody back year after year.

“Lovely facility & fantastic camaraderie with fellow travelers in the gourmet kitchen”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 February 2011

We stayed in the Meadow Suite and it is large, comfortable, well furnished and gracious. My only nit is the pillow was too full for my personal comfort-- I like a flat pillow. The bed was very comfortable itself.

All of the staff were friendly and very accommodating.

My favorite part of the stay was socializing with other guests while sharing the gourmet kitchen facility !.

Thank you Bev for your kind review. Over the years we have acquired pillows of every type and thickness. Let us know, and we will likely be able to come up with a pillow you find comfortable. We hope to see you back soon.

“unbelievable customer service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 January 2011

When my high school son and his girlfriend were stranded in Winter Park due to a road closure, Chivi arranged dorm rooms for the 2 of them over the phone. Then, she very graciously helped me arrange to get him some cash to cover his meal expenses. She gave me such a peace of mind to know that he was in good hands. I was very pleased with her personal customer service and understanding of the situation.

“I can't wait to go back”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 January 2011

My daughter and I stayed here over the New Year's Holiday for a ski trip and were more than pleased with the accomadations. The inn and hostel provides a comfortable, laid back stmosphere. Yet, the room and living spaces are extremely clean and up to date. The staff is very friendly and goes out of their way to make guests' experiences enjoyable. This place is highly recommended and we can't wait to return for another stay.
P.S. Eat at "LaAzteca" right next door. It's great!

“Stress Free Week”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 January 2011
2
people found this review helpful

Stayed at RM Inn & Chalet the middle week of Dec. 2010. Came in from ILL by Amtrack for a week of skiing. Train station only 3.5 blocks away but Chivi (whom I didn't know at the time) unexpectedly picked me up at the station and drove me to the hostel. At 57 yrs. old I felt very much at home in the upstairs dorm bedroom, kitchen, and common areas. Conversations with other guests (and Paisley) were very enlightening & entertaining and went far in making my week in Winter Park a very good time. Every guest seem to get along great during the time I was there. Shuttle bus stop to ski area just right outside the building; Safeway Grocery Store directly across the road; I rented skis just 1 block away (thanks again, Dave, for the coupon and for helping get lift tickets); I used the locked shed in the back for ski storage, and the guest computer came in very handy.
Thanks again to Dave, Chivi, Bhruna (happy birthday), and Paisley for making my week away from work very enjoyable.
