Check in was a little slow, but the demeanor and kindness of all the staff made it great. The room had great finishes and awesome little touches all around that made the place special. Awesome location across from Hideaway Park Brewery minutes from the ski resort. If prices stayed this low all season, I'd stay here every time.

Didn't stay at the inn, but Volario's was amazing! The lamb with gnocchi was simply amazing. Service was excellent; not too pushy or too absent, just right. Prices were not as high as anticipated, so that was a plus. I also just loved the casual atmosphere of the front room, it made me feel at home. Highly recommended!

We were in town this weekend for a concert at the local park. The staff was on point and the food was amazing at the restaurant on the main floor. Coffee was awesome and was greeted by a very nice, warm and friendly staff. Rooms were very clean and comfy beds/pillows. Highly recommended for anyone. We had a great stay!!!

I used to travel for a living. Averaged 230 days per year on the road. When you stay at a motel or inn you expect motel or inn quality. I walked in my room and literally said wow! The structure is a bit dated, but not a flaw. Everything is maintained as it should be. Cleanliness of my room (211) is like nothing I've ever experienced and I've stayed in some of the nicest hotels in the world. It's a standard room but it is CLEAN. Those of us who travel or have travelled extensively value cleanliness above all. I haven't stayed here in the past because it was an "Inn". However, this little inn has a bar and restaurant on site, and it is superbly clean. The only negative is the parking lot is not big enough for all three. However, the night manager moved his car so I could park. Kudos to the night guy. Can't say anything negative about this little place. If you are just in town for a night or two on business or to ski you can't go wrong here. Bed is quite comfy also.

You had me at Lavazza Coffee in the room, pretty cups, great bedding, and a super view and rippling water sounds of Vasquez Creek through the window. The Inn s in the style of European inns with a coffee breakfast bar and dining Cafe on the bottom and all the rooms upstairs. Although a bit aged it has been tastefully redone in a european-style. The bedding is truly amazing. Please note there is no air conditioning but there was plenty of cool air coming through the window in this mountain town. We didn't get to use the hot tub that sits next to the creek but I think that would be quite romantic. We received vouchers for breakfast in the cafe and had a beautiful croissant French toast and freshly made breakfast sandwich. If you need a fancy resort with high amenities there are other options but if you want charming, tasteful, well-appointed and quiet accommodations this is perfect. The price was reasonable as well. The location is right across from the Chamber of Commerce so you can walk across the street for information. There is not an elevator so please be noticed of that. This is a great place for a romantic weekend Downtown Winter Park especially if you are tired of other guests coming down to breakfast in their pajamas and flip-flops.

Great hotel to stay in if you're visiting Winter Park/Fraser. It's very simple, but a clean and decent place to stay at if you're going to spend little time at a hotel. It has a cafe/coffee shop built into the building, so breakfast was easy to get and very delicious! The cafe offers a voucher for the inn's guests, so breakfast is free unless you go over the provided limit. Great location for driving over to Winter Park, and there is a small park across the street.

The location was great, right downtown! The room was cozy, quiet, and cute! The bed was super comfortable! They provided us with $10 coupons for breakfast at the cafe next store, which was delicious. My only complaint is that I called and asked if I could check in early, and a worker told me that my room was ready and I could come anytime. When I arrived, the lady at the front desk reported that the room was not ready. She was unkind and unprofessional and did not seem to be concerned that somebody else had given me inaccurate information. She told me that she would get my room ready by 2:00 p.m. However, when I called at that time the room was still not ready. I understand that check-in was not until 4:00 p.m., which is fine, I just wish that I wasn't told that I could check in early because then I changed my plans to accommodate that.

The Vasquez Creek inn was really great. The accommodations were clean and cozy. The amenities were understated and perfect. We had great service from the night manager Raven and the housekeeping manager David. We were really in a pinch after some late night reservations mix up at another hotel and the woman who manages the late night phones helped to arrange everything and get us settled. I wish I could remember her name to thank her as well. Overall, the staff went out of their way to make our stay great. Thanks again.
