Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Georgetown Lake

Nice staff, great hot tub

-Green to the Extreme- This hotel should have 5 stars as they have excellent breakfast, the facility is renovated and in good shape, parking is free and common areas are well-maintained. My main problem pertains to their "Green" practice, which has been taken to an extreme level. As a "green" hotel, the lights in the room shut off completely after 30 minutes of in-room motion. Working at the desk in my room, I had the lights shut off 5 times while I was trying to work at my desk (very annoying). Secondly, all of the outlets are set to green timers so they shut-off after 30 minutes. This means that their own alarm clock doesn't work because it resets to 12 AM every 30 minutes......lol.....why is it even in the room? Being green is one thing, penny pinching is another. If they truly wanted to save the environment, they wouldn't have a hot tub and pool (believe it or not, heating these puppies 24-7 costs far more than shutting off visitor's high efficiency LED lights and outlets. Get rid of these bologna problems and you will get five stars.

We booked this room for a wedding we were attending in Rocky Mountain Village. When I called to make the reservation I asked to be placed somewhere quiet/not near a parking lot/street. It was not conveyed that the only way to accomplish this was to be "lakeside" which I can only now assume is true. The reservationist seemed to suggest she'd put notes to indicate and it should be fine. I did the pre-checkin process online and again, made a note about a quiet room. When we checked in and got up to the room it was facing I70 and the parking lot. Being a light sleeper, I knew this would be an issue. I went back down to the front desk and brought up my concerns they said they got no such request - only my late checkout request. They said they already had to shuffle around people (I can only guess that someone else made the same complaint after seeing the location of the room and we got moved, despite all of the attempts to plan ahead). But the biggest nail in the coffin was that after taking 2 hours to get to sleep over the traffic noise (after having to knock myself out with sleep aid)...it was 1am when I finally fell sleep, we were pulled out of a deep sleep at 6am by a jolting alarm that was left on the clock in the room. Sleep is everything and thanks to this hotel we were both exhausted for the wedding and had to drive back to Castle Rock the night after the wedding for early morning work the next day. It should absolutely be protocol that housekeepers check for repeating alarms. This was a senseless reason to have our day wrecked.

We stayed here for our hike to Grays and Torreys, and the location was perfect — close to the trailhead and a great spot to get used to the altitude. The room was clean and comfortable, and breakfast had everything we needed to start the day. What stood out most was the staff. Tiara (I hope I’m spelling that right) and Desiree went out of their way to look after us. When our hike ran longer than expected and we returned later than planned, they reached out because they were genuinely concerned about us. That kind of care felt personal and heartfelt, and it made our stay extra special. We’d absolutely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone visiting Georgetown.
