Unbelievable Gunnison Getaway: Comfort Inn & Suites Awaits!
Unbelievable Gunnison Getaway: Comfort Inn & Suites Awaits! - (Honest Review & Crazy-Good Offer!)
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because I just got back from the "Unbelievable Gunnison Getaway: Comfort Inn & Suites Awaits!" and lemme tell ya, "unbelievable" ain't just marketing fluff. It's… well, it's a Comfort Inn, you know? But with a few seriously surprising twists. And, okay, a couple of minor… let's call them “quirks.”
First, The Good Stuff (Because Let's Be Positive, People!)
This place is practically begging to be experienced. Seriously, from the moment I stumbled through the 24-hour Front Desk looking like a deer caught in headlights (long drive, okay?) it was solid. Check-in? Contactless. Bless. My. Soul. Because after spending all day in a car, the last thing I wanted was to fumble over paperwork. Then there's the whole Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! thing. Lifesaver. Especially since I needed to, um, research some… important… things online. (Don't judge. We've all been there). And let's keep going: Daily Housekeeping? Yes, please! Coming back to a room that has magically cleaned itself is a small victory. The Elevator was crucial, even though my gym membership is collecting dust, accessibility is key. Plus, the Car Park [free of charge] was a huge relief, and Car park [on-site] was just plain easy.
Accessibility: A Real Win
Now, some of you might be thinking, "Accessibility? Is that even a thing at a Comfort Inn?" You might be surprised. The Facilities for disabled guests were actually visible! The Elevator was easy to navigate, and the ramps? Real ramps, not the token ramps you sometimes see tacked on. This gets a HUGE thumbs up from me, because everyone deserves a comfortable stay.
Rooms: From Basic to… Well, Still Basic, but Cozy
The Non-smoking rooms were a must for me. The Air conditioning was a godsend. And the bed? Okay, it was a Comfort Inn bed. Comfortable, clean, and did the job. They provided Towels, Toiletries, Coffee/tea maker (essential), Refrigerator (hello, leftovers!), a Hair dryer (thank goodness!), and let's be honest, a Alarm clock is perfect for a good night's sleep. The Free bottled water was a nice touch. I gotta say, a Mini bar would have been AMAZING, but hey, I'm not complaining. My place was spotless, really. Cleanliness is my religion.
Let's Talk Spa-ish & Relaxation (with a little "eh")
Alright, here's where things get… interesting. They had a Fitness center! (Which I didn’t use – long drive, remember?) and apparently a Sauna. (I was skeptical, but hey, maybe!). There was a Pool with view - a beautiful view, I should be adding. The best part? There was no line. Seriously. I had the pool to myself. Pure bliss.
Food & Drinks: The Good, the Not-So-Good, and the Surprisingly Okay
Listen, this isn’t the Ritz. But for a Comfort Inn? They tried.
- Breakfast [buffet]: Free, and included the usual suspects, like pancakes, little sausages, and fruit. The Breakfast takeaway service was brilliant for hitting the road. I'd rate it a solid "adequate."
- Restaurants: None on-site, BUT they had Room service [24-hour]. I'm not a fan of hotel food, but when you are exhausted, you eat.
- Coffee/tea in restaurant was key! They also had a Poolside bar. (No comment on this one, but the poolside was a great place).
Now For the Minor Imperfections (Because I'm Realist!)
- The Sauna: I'm still unsure if it was properly in working order.
- The Food: Basic, but edible. I kept it simple. But the Bottle of water they placed in the room… That’s a small convenience and great touch.
- On-site accessible restaurants / lounges: While there's not a Michelin-starred chef, there were options nearby.

Escape to Bliss: Battle Ground's Best Western Plus Awaits!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your sanitized, perfectly-planned travel brochure. This is me, about to wrestle with a trip designed to "relax" in Gunnison-Crested Butte, while simultaneously trying to not lose my mind and/or freeze to death. This is going to be messy. Get ready.
The Gunnison-Crested Butte Chaos: A Comfort Inn & Suites Odyssey (and Possible Meltdown)
Day 1: Colorado, Here I Come (and Already Kinda Regretting It)
- Morning (6:00 AM - 10:00 AM): Ugh. The alarm. The pre-dawn scramble to pack the one suitcase I always overpack. Airport security. The usual purgatory. I'm already questioning my life choices, especially the one that involved booking a flight at this ungodly hour. The tiny airplane is giving me the serious heebie-jeebies, and I swear the guy next to me is judging my travel-sized bag of gummy bears. Note to self: hide the wine gums next flight.
- Mid-Morning (10:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Land in Gunnison. The air is thin and already colder than expected. Grabbed my rental car. It is not a monster truck as I'd desired, more like a sensible station wagon of responsibility. The drive to the Comfort Inn is scenic (mountains! Yay!). But also, the GPS lady sounds suspiciously like my overbearing aunt, always harping on about speed limits. "Recalculating. Recalculating. You are over the speed limit, darling. You should be ashamed." Shut up, GPS.
- Afternoon (12:00 PM - 4:00 PM): Check-in at the Comfort Inn & Suites. It's… pleasant enough. The kind of place where they offer complimentary breakfast but hide the good coffee. The room is clean, the bed is comfy, and the view from the window is… a parking lot (but a parking lot framed by mountains! Okay, I'll take it). Dump my bags. Immediately realize I forgot my noise-canceling headphones. Cue minor internal panic. Try to shake it off.
- Afternoon (4:00 PM - 7:00 PM): Exploring downtown Gunnison. It's… small. Adorable, but small. Wander around, pop into a few souvenir shops (got a ridiculous "I Heart Colorado" t-shirt, naturally) and grab a coffee at a local cafe. The barista is actually a really cool dude and seems to know everyone. We briefly bonded over our mutual hatred of the tourist hordes. This is my kind of local.
- Evening (7:00 PM - onwards): Dinner! I went to this place, Firebrand Delights. A dive bar, but with an outdoor seating area that offered nice views. The food was decent, but the live music was a disaster. I swear the band was playing the same song for three hours. But the beer was cold, the company was the waitress, and the sunset? Spectacular. Despite the music, I might have actually started to relax. Maybe.
Day 2: Chasing Waterfalls (and My Sanity)
- Morning (6:00 AM - 9:00 AM): Breakfast at the Comfort Inn. Scramble eggs are rubbery. The coffee is as bad as I feared. Seriously, Comfort Inn, invest in some decent caffeine! Grab some fruit and head out on the road to Crested Butte.
- Morning (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Scenic drive to Crested Butte, which is the real show. The landscape is absurdly gorgeous. Mountains, rivers, and sky… it feels like you're in a postcard. Stop at multiple pull-offs to take photos. I think I took like 500 of them. Which I'll probably never look at again.
- Afternoon (12:00 PM - 4:00 PM): Arrive in Crested Butte. This place is stunning. Like, magazine-cover-worthy. The colorful Victorian buildings, the alpine air, the sheer, glorious scale of it all… Ugh, now I REALLY understand why people move to these places. Eat lunch at a cute outdoor cafe. The food is overpriced but delightful. The people-watching is even better. Some dude in full ski gear walked by and I almost spitted out my tea, it's only the middle of summer!
- Afternoon (4:00 PM - 7:00 PM): Waterfall Hunting. I'm obsessed with finding waterfalls. So, I went to a place, Cebolla Creek trail. It was "easy" at first, but then became a muddy, steep scramble that involved me nearly falling into a raging river. I may have yelled a string of expletives that would make a sailor blush. But the waterfall, when I finally reached it, was worth it. Majestic, powerful, and made me forget, for a brief moment, the physical agony of the hike.
- Evening (7:00 PM - Onwards): Dinner and drinks at The Secret Stash in Crested Butte. I was utterly famished after the hike. This place is known for pizza, so I grabbed the biggest, weirdest option. My inner child could have a party in that place, it had a colorful, kooky decor and a lively atmosphere. I had a couple of craft beers, and even, dared to talk to a local. Said local was a lovely middle-aged woman who told me all about living in this town, and I loved it!!
Day 3: Rest Day, or, the Day I Completely Lose It
- Morning (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): "Relaxing" at the hotel. This means actually trying to sleep in (success!), reading (attempt #1), and attempting some light stretching. Fail on all counts. Keep feeling the urge to just sleep and sleep. Must resist the urge to become a permanent fixture on the lovely bed. Breakfast in the room. This is good because the breakfast downstairs is… well, you know.
- Afternoon (12:00 PM - 5:00 PM): Okay, so this is where the wheels start to fall off. I decided I wanted to go mountain biking. My friend always says it's the best sport. I'm not sure what I got from that. I went to Crested Butte Mountain Resort and rented a bike. I also found a trail that was categorised as "beginner". I had to learn that the mountains don't give a damn about your categorisation.
- Afternoon (5:00 PM - 7:00 PM): Now, I'm not gonna sugarcoat this. I fell. A lot. I scraped my knees, my elbows. I got covered in bruises. I nearly cried. I yelled at the bike. I yelled at the mountain. I considered just abandoning the bike and running away. But one time I reached a peak, and I saw the whole town. I finally got that feeling of "wow, I did it".
- Evening (7:00 PM - Onwards): Dinner at the hotel, which was a terrible experience. Ordering room service, because the thought of driving back out was more than I could bear. Ate in bed, sulking and nursing my wounds. Watched a terrible movie. Went to bed early and prayed for the end of this trip.
Day 4: The Grand Finale (or, the Escape)
- Morning (6:00 AM - 10:00 AM): Wake up, feeling like a cross between a mangled rag doll and a grumpy bear. Breakfast at the hotel. The coffee is still awful. Pack. This is a moment of bittersweet triumph. I survived! But also: I'm exhausted.
- Late Morning (10:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Take a last, lingering drive through the area. The mountains are just as breathtaking as they were before. This time, I actually appreciated them. I think I am going to miss this place.
- Afternoon (12:00 PM - 4:00 PM): The drive back to the airport. The GPS lady is still an annoying nag. Reminisce about all the fun and the bad things that happened, and how I'm not completely sure I didn't hallucinate half of it. It all felt so real.
- Evening (4:00 PM - onward): Fly home. The plane. The airport. The security line. The flight is full of crying babies and people coughing. This is reality. This is life. This is the perfect ending to a perfectly imperfect trip.
Final Verdict:
Did I "relax" in the traditional sense? Nope. Did I experience moments of pure, unadulterated beauty? Absolutely! Did I almost die a few times? Maybe. Would I do it again? Probably. Mostly because I know, deep down, that the messiness is half the fun. And the memories… they're priceless (and hopefully, will be less painful next time!)
Uncover St. Lucia's Untamed Secrets: South Africa's Hidden Paradise
Okay, so "Unbelievable Gunnison Getaway"... is it *really* unbelievable? My expectations are, like, sky-high now. What's the deal?
Alright, alright, let's be honest. "Unbelievable" might be a *tad* generous depending on your definition of "unbelievable." Was it a life-altering, spiritual experience? No, not exactly. Did I find myself pondering the vastness of the cosmos while gazing upon the complimentary continental breakfast? Also, no. But! The Comfort Inn & Suites in Gunnison? It's… reliably *there*. And sometimes, that's the best thing a hotel can be. Think of "unbelievable" as a slightly sarcastic promise. "Unbelievably... accessible." "Unbelievably... clean-ish."
What about the *comfort* part? Is the Comfort Inn & Suites actually comfortable? Because after a day of hiking, I need a throne, not a torture device.
Okay, this is a BIG one. Comfort is… subjective, right? My back is permanently a little grumpy thanks to decades of questionable posture. I wouldn't say the beds were *life-changingly* comfortable, but they weren't actively trying to break me. And in Gunnison, after you've been tromping around in the mountains all day? Honestly, anything that's not a rock is a win. I remember collapsing onto the bed after a particularly grueling hike (it involved a lot of scrambling and a possibly misplaced sense of adventure, let's just say) and thinking, "This… this is acceptable." The pillows might have been a little… firm. Like, almost aggressively supportive. But hey, at least they weren't those weird feather ones that always try to sneak into your face. And the air conditioning? Glorious. Pure, ice-cold, life-giving air. So, comfort? Yes. Luxury? Let’s save that for the lottery win.
The breakfast. Lay it on me. Continental? Hot? Pre-packaged? Give me the REAL scoop. Because a bad breakfast can ruin a good vacation.
Ah, the breakfast. The HEART of the hotel experience, isn't it? This is where things get… interesting. I’m not gonna lie, it *was* continental, in the truest sense of the word. Think: the usual suspects. Toast, bagels (which may or may not have been properly toasted depending on the toaster's mood that day), a sad selection of cereal, and the obligatory "make-your-own-waffle" station. That waffle iron, by the way? A beautiful, temperamental beast. I tried. Oh, how I tried. I wanted a masterpiece! A golden-brown beacon of breakfast joy! But the waffle? It was… well, let’s just say it was more of a grey, vaguely waffle-shaped object. But the coffee? The coffee was surprisingly decent. And hey, free coffee is free coffee, right? And in my experience? Sometimes the breakfast is less about the food itself and more about the *vibe*. And the vibe at that breakfast table? Mostly… peaceful. Except for the aggressively cheerful couple next to me who were loudly discussing their hiking plans. Bless their hearts.
Okay, spilling coffee on the carpet... is that something to worry about? Because, hypothetically, I might be prone to such things.
Okay, listen. We've all been there, haven’t we? The clumsy coffee spill. The rogue ketchup stain. The evidence of a late-night chocolate bar binge. Look, the carpet in my room… let's just say it had *seen things*. I wouldn't say it was spotless, but it definitely seemed like it could handle a minor coffee incident. You know? Like, it was already primed for adventure. Remember, it's a Comfort Inn & Suites in Gunnison. They've probably seen a lot. They’re used to it. Don't sweat it. Just maybe… try to aim for the cup. And definitely don't tell the front desk it was *me*. (Just kidding... maybe.)
Are the staff friendly? Because I despise grumpy staff. It ruins EVERYTHING!
You know what? The staff at the Comfort Inn & Suites in Gunnison were genuinely lovely. Not in a fake, forced-smile kind of way, but in a… "Hey, how's your day going?" kind of way. The check-in woman had a fantastic laugh, and the guy who refilled the waffle batter (the *hero*) seemed genuinely delighted to be there. They were helpful. They were polite. They were… well, they weren’t grumpy, which, as you rightly point out, is a HUGE win. It makes a difference. A grumpy staff member can really cast a shadow over the whole experience. So, yeah, top marks to the team. They get a gold star from me.
Let's talk about the pool. Is there a pool? And more importantly... is it clean? And does it have that gross chlorine smell?
Yes! There *is* a pool. And, yes, it was… well, it was a pool. It was indoors, which is a lifesaver after a day in the sun. The water looked relatively clear, which is always a good sign. I *think* I could smell chlorine, but not overwhelmingly so. The real highlight? The hot tub. Oh, sweet, glorious hot tub! I spent a solid hour soaking in that bubbling paradise, letting my sore muscles melt away. Now *that* was unbelievable. Actually, scratch that, it was *believable* and wonderful. I might have even made a friend in the hot tub - a kindly gentleman from Wisconsin who shared his thoughts on the best hiking trails in the area. The pool? Perfectly acceptable. The hot tub? Worth the trip alone.
So, would you recommend this Gunnison Getaway? Be honest! Knowing you, I want the nitty gritty.
Okay, here's the brutally honest truth. If you're looking for a swanky, five-star experience, this ain't it. If you're hoping for a place where you can contemplate the meaning of life while sipping artisanal coffee and being serenaded by a string quartet, keep searching. However… If you want a clean, comfortable, conveniently located place to crash after a day of exploring the incredible wonders of Gunnison, then yeah, I absolutely would recommend it. The Comfort Inn & Suites does exactly what it says on the tin. It's a reliable home base, a place to recharge, and a perfectly acceptable place to attempt (and possibly fail) to make a waffle. And sometimes, that's more than enough. Plus...the hot tub. Don't forget the hot tub. Seriously, go for the hot tub.
