This is AUTHENTIC Colorado at its best.
Pros
* Amazing breakfast with lots of yummy fruits, breads, eggs, french toast, teas, drinks, coffee, butter and more. Truly a 5-star breakfast
* Lovely staff: Accommodating & kind people
* Private hot-tubs in most (if not all) rooms
* Wonderful fluffy towels and awesome robes
* Ample parking that is off-street and protected
* 1 block from excellent restaurants like The Cow - just PERFECT
* Easy 15-min drive to Red Rocks parking at the venue
* If you're into the hippie vibe and open-minded, this place is PERFECT
* I love the cat on the back porch of the main building, the array of beautiful and joyful-sounding birds all around and the general peacefulness the place exudes.
* The main house (community room) is lovely, as is the back porch.
Cons
* If you're not into the hippie vibe, then this place might not be for you.
* Some of the rooms smell like MaryJane, ya know, pot. One room (Rose Retreat) gave us a contact-high, but the awesome manager was kind-enough to move us to another room. That said, I felt a little high/tweaked for about 12 hours. I'm the sensitive type :)
* Some rooms might be more quiet and peaceful than others, due to proximity to nearby roads. Be sure to ask.
Recommendations for the Manager/Owner
* In our room (Canterbury) was an odd 1970's shag-combo-skin rug, which we felt was partially alive. Maybe lose the rug? :)
* One room you showed us was very dark, although it had an in-living-room hot tub. A little more light would give this room a superb upgrade.
* Change the filters in the air conditioners. This might help improve the quality of the air in the rooms. The unit in our room had a red light on, noting that it was past the time for the air filter to be replaced. Molekule.com has amazing air purifiers that might also be helpful, especially for people who are not so into pot smoke.
* Share with your awesome customers your process of ensuring clean water in your hot tubs. Is it a chemical cleaner? All natural? Enzymes? How often is the water replaced?
--- These things are super-important to prevent people from getting infections and I bet most people would find the information super-helpful.
Summary
* We thoroughly enjoyed our time at The Cliff House.
* The proximity to Red Rocks, the great shower pressure, the comfy towels, the parking and the 5-Star breakfast made it a fun and peaceful stay.
* Thank you! We love it here!
