Nice spot, good location to walk to town for dining or shopping, the property could use a little updating and maintenance, however it was price worthy for what you get. Easy check in and out, the Elk graze right outside your window on the golf course next door.

Room was clean and in great condition. The pond area was really nice too. My only complaint is the pillows. The bed was comfortable but the pillows should be replaced. A small cost would make a huge difference.

We had an excellent stay here in all but one respect. The room was spacious, comfortable and clean. The bathroom was equally maintained. Beds were comfortable and the staff excellent. The “breakfast” was the one aspect that left a lot to be desired. The waffles were prepackaged lumps of sugary dough that one had to put in the toaster, slim pickings for cereal or fruit. I’d definitely stay here again but go elsewhere for breakfast.

Upon our arrival desk clerk gave me keys to our room #308. The door was unlocked and the room was a mess. It hadn't been cleaned. Took another 40 minutes for a male staff member to clean the room. Finally got into the room at 5:30 pm. Asked if the lodge offered a Senior or Military discount, no response from the clerk. She was NOT very helpful and not sure why she wasn't aware that the room wasn't check in ready. Nice view of mountains.

Great elk viewing
The Discovery Lodge is located right by a 9-hole golf course, and apparently the elk love it. We were able to see these beautiful animals without ever leaving the property, which was a highlight of our stay. It’s an easy location from which to get to downtown and to the Rocky Mountains. There’s plenty of parking, but more than once someone had taken the space directly in front of our room—we found this odd as it seems the rooms we used had one space per room right at your door. The room was ver spacious, clean and comfortable. I would suggest bringing your own shampoo/conditioner/body wash unless you want to use the provided single product shampoo-body wash combo. Breakfast was fine—fruits, packaged cereals and muffins, white bread, boiled eggs. It’s a very simple place, but nice enough and convenient for visiting the national park.
