We spent 10 days on vacation in Colorado, staying at a different place each night. We traveled almost all of the State. AML was the best stay of the whole trip!

I went there for a concert and it was spectacular. The grounds are beautiful as is the area where it is. I live relatively close so didn't spend the night so can't comment on their rooms. I did eat there and the food was great.

Enjoyable stay. The rooms were quite nice and impeccably clean. The service at the restaurant by Richard and John was great. They ran like crazy, but with smiles and good humor, to make our evening enjoyable for our party of 15.
