Alpine Slopes Lodge

You can stay at this hotel only if: you are okay with old rooms, noisy nights and rude personnel. We had an issue with front desk where we requested early check in and were ready to pay for it or we said we d choose another hotel since we had a sick kid. Front desk lady said she ll call us no matter what to tell us if she is able or not to accomodate us– never happened. Even after we talked to her colleague asking for her to call us. Being an owner of a hotel business– i would fire both of those employees for incompetence. More than that is is virtually impossible to get in touch with general management to resolve issues. Never had a closure or a call back to clarify the situation. Even though rented two top priced rooms.

Great price, great location. Within walking distance of the lifts AND right across the street from The Goat (a fun dive bar) and a few minutes walk from The Snake (another great bar and restaurant). The employees are super nice and the hotel has a great hot tub and continental breakfast with bagels. Perfect option for those on a budget who still want to be in the heart of Keystone and have some fun!

I actually booked this hotel through Hotwire. Had no idea what hotel I was going to get. I was pleasantly surprised. I think it is only rated a 2 or 2.5 star hotel. The gentlemen who was working tonight 10÷29÷15 was so friendly and accomodating. Great location, new carpets, microwave and fridge in the room… comfortable beds… One of the nicest 2 – 2.5 star rated hotels I have stayed at. And I travel alot.

While passing through the Keystone area, we spent a night at the Alpine Slopes Lodge. We paid approx. $ 75 for the room with 2 queen beds. The lodge is located directly across the road from the Keystone ski area.
We had a 2^nd floor room which was very comfortable and quiet. Our window faced the ski area, with Hwy. 6 between the lodge and the ski area. I did notice a little traffic noise in the morning, but nothing that would keep me from staying here again. If that was an issue, you could always ask for a room on the backside of the building.
Our room was very clean and included a refrigerator and microwave, with a small table. The bathroom is small with a separate sink area located outside of the bathroom.
The lobby area of the lodge has a small dining area where they do a free breakfast (toast, bagels, coffee, tea, juice). The lobby area also has a nice seating area with a fireplace. There is a hot tub and sauna located on the lower level.
There is a bar located across the street, and a couple business located next door, including a Subway sandwich shop.

Pros: clean room, good size, decent speed internet, close to A basin, fridge and microwave in room, good price
Cons: very basic room (no coffee pot), no elevator, advertised free continental breakfast not «continental», strong bleach/​chlorine smell throughout hallways, housekeeping not «standard»
Overall, a very clean hotel with nice sized rooms. However, they don’t have overnight staff on premise. We arrived at 10PM and saw an envelope on the front desk with our name containing the room key. If you’re on the second floor, you’ll have to carry your luggage up as there is no elevator. As we walked down the hall, there was a really strong chlorine and bleach smell. The room comes with a fridge and microwave, but our microwave was broken. The room was really standard and basic. It lacked a coffee pot. The free continental breakfast is sad. Only bagels and bread. No fruit or hot entrees. The coffee is disgusting. Just coffee flavored water. Cups for hot water, coffee, or tea are really small so if you’re someone like me who is constantly drinking tea, you’ll be incredibly inconvenienced by the fact that you’ll have to walk down to fill up a small cup with 8oz of «hot» water. More lukewarm than hot. I found myself making numerous trips up and down the stairs to get the water. Also, housekeeping is not standard. It is something that has to be requested.
You get what you paid so no major complaints. Can’t expect much for $ 70 a night in May.

My boyfriend and I recently spent a night here after a long day on the slopes at nearby Loveland Ski area. We chose Alpine Slopes Lodge based on Trip Advisor & Unilocal reviews, and largely based on the price! It is an affordable night for an otherwise ritzy (read: expensive) ski resort town. We literally needed a clean place to sleep before another day on the slopes — we were not looking for glamour or amenities. If that fits for you, this is a great place.
Perks: Friendly front desk clerk, great price (especially for the area!), free parking, proximity to Keystone ski area (including lifts and shops/​restaurants), proximity to other ski areas (A-​Basin, Loveland), convenient to I-​70, comfortable enough rooms & bed, plenty of hot water (a hot shower never felt so good then after skiing!).
To consider: This hotel is pretty bare-​bones — no fancy amenities, no robes or plush towels (towels are pretty threadbare); limited jacuzzi hours (it was too crowded so we never made it back since it closed at 10pm); wifi signal was really weak and we couldn’t connect from our room; pretty sparse «continental breakfast» (coffee, toast/​bagels, no real protein — some hard boiled eggs or yogurt would be nice).
All in all, an affordable place to spend the night. This is a place to take a shower, grab dinner elsewhere, sleep, wake up and leave for skiing or exploring the I-​70 corridor. We would stay here again to save a drive back to Denver after skiing, but not necessarily for a luxury «vacation.»

I booked this through place through Expedia for my g/​f and myself. Although it was just the two of us, I chose the family suite with a kitchenette (which «all rooms» are said to have) and was expecting something like what you get at a Fairfield Inn. Instead, I got a spacious room with a queen bed, pull-​out couch, and bunk beds. Extra space is certainly not a drawback, but the kitchenette was more important to us than having the extra room. Now, usually the suffix «ette» means «little» as in «little kitchen,» i.e., somewhere you can actually cook a meal. This room had only a microwave and mini-​fridge. Being who I am, I complained and was moved to a more appropriate room for the same price. This room had a microwave, mini-​range, sink, dishes, a pot (no pans), silverware, and a full– sized fridge. It had less overall space, but that was fine. While very happy our complaints were addressed, later when I tried to have another issue addressed (clogged toilet), the woman at the front desk got indignant (A huffy, «What now?» sending a message that we had been pegged as «difficult»).
While it was great we were accommodated, a more timid person might not have spoken up, or if we were unlucky, there might have been nothing else available. There is something to be said for truth in advertising. The «amenities» already list microwave and fridge, so why add «kitchenette» to confuse the issue. The woman who checked us in also became somewhat argumentative over what the exact meaning of «kitchenette» is.
Ok, a few other negatives:
1) There were 3 wifi options, one with no password, and two with, none of them worked very well… i.e., intermittent, slow loading of pages, the progress bar moving so far and then getting «stuck.» They need to increase their bandwidth. I spent $ 45 for three $ 15 dollar chunks of extra data on my phone, and used tethering to get online, because trying to use their wifi was exasperating. When I complained I was told «there never seems to be a problem,» but «I’ll restart the router.» Again the message seemed to be that we were just kicking up a fuss over nothing.
2) Breakfast consisted of bagels (from a bag, not fresh), bread/​toast, prepackaged and pre-​sweetened oatmeal, apples, and tangerines. Coffee was weak, but certainly a plus that it was available ²⁴⁄₇. They could easily add muffins, yogurt, cereal, and a few more fruit selections and still not need to serve any hot food.
3) The hot tub hours, 3 – 10, are geared ONLY toward the after-​ski crowd. While skiing is certainly what we (and nearly everyone, I’m sure) were there to do, I couldn’t go in the tub earlier on the day we took off, and I often like to go very early in the morning to loosen up the muscles from the day before. There is no reason they can’t keep this open longer. It seems like nothing more than a cost-​cutting measure.
4) The workout room is a total joke… barely large enough to fit an elliptical trainer and some kind of all-​in-​one-​machine. Skiing is enough of a workout that I didn’t need it, but again, why bother if it going to be so second-​rate.
5) No maid service until day three, and so we had to buy our own toilet paper.
6) Ok, I admit, this is nitpicking, but the front desk constantly played this awful smooth jazz that just about no one I know actually likes. It’s pretty much what they call muzak. Play some real jazz (nothing too avant-​garde), some soft rock, or even classical, but anything but that infernal stuff! Or just don’t bother.
There were some positives:
1) Great location
2) Nice little shopping center and a few decent, albeit not high-​end restaurants nearby.
3) Free parking
4) Rooms basically neat and clean; tv, heat, and other appliances worked fine.
My overall suggestion: either report what people are really getting or upgrade your infrastructure to match what you are advertising. I’d have no problem paying an extra $ 15 – 20 per night to get what I thought I would be getting.
All in all, not a bad place, but it could be much better… it looks like they are pinching pennies, and that isn’t a good business strategy.

The guy at the front desk was really rude, threatened to refuse service when we asked if we could check in early. The continental breakfast was lousy (all they have is bagels). Jacuzzi hours stink (3 – 10) and we were charged an extra 80 dollars for an extra person. On a positive note the room was clean and the jacuzzi was nice. Location was nice right across the street from keystone.

Location is great directly across the street from the slopes. Goat bar across the street also. There are no phones in the room. There is no hot shower water everyday after 11am due to refilling the hot tub. Hot tub only open from 3pm-​10pm. The two toasters for the continental breakfast kept power surging and shutting off. Breakfast was several types of bread, large bagels, oatmeal, apples, coffee, hot chocolate and juice. No pastries. If you have additional people in your room not noted on your reservation, plan on paying $ 20 per PERSON per NIGHT. May be better to pay extra and stay elsewhere where they don’t pit bull you. The hotel only has one way in and that’s the front door at the desk. No elevators for second floor. Hotel provides long term housing so can be good or bad. Caroline at front desk is nice but don’t try and sneak anyone in, YOU WILL be charged extra. Unless we receive a deal we can’t refuse moving forward, we will probably pay the extra money and stay elsewhere. This place is good if you indicate every guest and want to go cheap and simple. No frills hotel ! Cleaning guy seamed to do a good job cleaning each room.

This place is great. Very affordable and the staff is so helpful. Eric, the manager, is so nice and upgraded me to a fantastic room because I was there during a slower week. I will stay here every time I come to Keystone!

Clean, affordable, right across the street from keystone.
Got stuck in a white out blizzard and needed a place to stay overnight that was cheap and open. Called in and spoke with the front desk concierge Tom. Got checked in and for the price; expecting a sub motel 8 style hotel room.
I was very pleased to find out its right next to dos locos restaurant with an excellent happy hour, had hot tub, wifi, breakfast, and very clean rooms. Tom was an excellent host, very helpful/​knowledgeable about everything in the area. I will be coming back.

For the price and location this hotel is great. We stayed the week of Christmas and found the rooms to be clean and all the staff to be helpful with any questions we had.
Located across the street from the Aztec express chair lift, my husband walked to ski each day, I think it’s about 400 yards away.
Breakfast which included bagels, waffles, oatmeal and juices is included.
Our room had a microwave, refrigerator and small kitchen. Perfect for storing snacks and drinks.

We loved our stay here!!! My flight into Denver on Friday night was delayed three hours so we didn’t up arriving here until about 3 am, and we got lost because a) it was dark and b) google maps in the mountain is not very accurate. We called the «emergency» line and the front desk guy (Robert?) answered and very patiently talked me through the directions, called me back to make sure we knew where we were, and was there when we arrived to check us in. All at 3 or 3:30 am on a Saturday.
The room was great, clean with organic /​natural ingredients amenities (i.e. Tom’s toothpaste) and a strong working heater. Free breakfast from 7 – 10 AM included waffles, french toast, bagels, english muffins, oatmeal, juice and coffee. We were going to stay in Denver one night but loved it so much we changed our reservation to add another night.
Wifi in the rooms and lobby was strong and reliable. Really, no complaints at all. Easily located right by Keystone with accessibility to Dillon and 7 miles to A-​Basin where we skied. Thank you so much!

We found a great del for a room here at
and reserves a room weeks in advance. The check-​in was fast and easy, with the desk clerk anticipating my questions giving me the lay of the land, explaining dinner options.
The building is clean and quiet. I would stay here again should I come to keystone again.

While the accommodations were decent enough, the desk staff is horrible.
When I called to CHANGE my reservation from 2 nights to 1 night, I had no problems. I figured I would forfeit the deposit since it was just the day before our scheduled arrival. The desk person (Robert) went so far to comp us another night either during ski season or later this summer. Okay — great.
When we checked out, we tried to schedule our comp night. Lo and Behold — Robert insisted that we had cancelled our complete 2 night stay and had been comped our one night stay instead.
When I reminded him we had prepaid for the room so he did not comp us a room for Saturday night, he said, «I understand that but I comped you a room for Saturday night even though we were sold out.»
Again, I never cancelled our reservation — I simply changed it from 2 nights to 1 night. Our reservation was pre-​paid.
He then insisted that we «obviously don’t travel much otherwise you would understand what I’ve given you.»
I tried calling him later in the day to discuss the situation when he proceeded to insult my husband — telling me that my husband has horrible customer skills because he couldn’t understand what he was told. WHAT? When I asked Robert if he knows what Unilocal is — he yelled at me that he has two kids in college and has worked in the hotel industry for 26 years so how dare I accuse him of being on whatever drug Unilocal is.
DO NOT STAY AT THIS HOTEL.
