Staff super friendly and provided us with generous amount of snack/food. They’ve renovated an old motel so everything feels new. The walls are thin and rooms are small but having a fridge and microwave was super nice. Our family enjoyed staying here for going to Kirkwood skiing trip.

Convenient location and nice property. Friendly front desk and generous supply of water, coffee and light snack at the front desk. I think the price is convenient. We liked the place and are coming back. At the time of our stay, people who were staying downstairs were so loud till late night and I could not sleep well. This is not property issue and I hope guests would be a little more sensible.

I would have rated this as average until I saw they charged me more than the price stated on Orbitz. Due to the fact that I tried multiple times via phone and email to contact the property prior to my stay with no success, I don’t have high expectations in getting this made right. The AC unit was broken in my room, which they were aware of before I arrived, because they put an extra fan in the room. Unfortunately it was hot enough that the extra fan didn’t do much. I ended up leaving a day early because it was just too hot. The room itself was fine… I killed a beetle and a big spider, but the place is in the mountains. The owner is very nice and seems interested in making sure guests are happy. Until I saw the overcharge, I was on the fence about booking again. With that and the fact that you can’t get a hold of them unless you’re at the property, I would absolutely not stay here again.

Beautiful newly renovated property

The Woodfords Inn is a lovingly renovated property. It is clear that the owner has a vision for what a nice, modern motel stay should be. The flooring is new, there are beautiful red Galanz fridge/freezers and matching microwaves. The new bedspreads are soft, fuzzy and warm. The towels are even embroidered with the inn's name. The host showed me to my room to demonstrate the use of the key. Breakfast is continental: yogurt, croissants, cereal, candy :-). Good variety of k-cup coffees.

This is a very nice motel. Clean rooms, very accommodating manager. I was looking for a one night place that was clean, quiet and simple. The Woodford Inn was all of that. When I returned to the area next year, I will spend more than one night, it’s a wonderful stay.

The manager Hahn was very hospitable and always very attentive to anything you need. In addition to that they always had lots of food, coffee, snacks, and other items for free in the office at all times, fantastic coast. Great property and I highly recommend it. That said air conditioner is quite loud, refrigerated at work and the lighting is a little difficult, but since we were up there to be in the mountains, the scenery around was breathtaking and we had a fantastic time… Our second time there. We look forward to coming back many times.
