Our stay at the YMCA of the Rockies was filled with adventure and family bonding in a beautiful setting. The variety of activities kept us busy all week, making it a great spot for our family vacation. The room was comfortable, but the dining experience could use some improvement, particularly at breakfast. Overall, it was a fantastic value for fun outdoor experiences and quality family time.

The YMCA of the Rockies is a fantastic place for families with plenty of activities and beautiful surroundings. The rooms are spacious and clean, but some housekeeping could use improvement. Dining options are decent with a mix of offerings, but can get repetitive. Overall, it's a great choice for reconnecting with family in a fun, outdoor environment.

YMCA of the Rockies offers a fantastic family-friendly atmosphere packed with activities for all ages. The rooms are clean and the environment encourages outdoor fun, though some dining options are limited and may not be appealing for everyone. The amenities available on-site make it a worthwhile family getaway, but be prepared for some basic accommodations without modern luxuries.

My family had a fantastic time at the YMCA of the Rockies! The variety of activities kept our kids engaged and entertained, and the beautiful natural surroundings made for a memorable vacation. While the dining experience could use some improvement, particularly the breakfast options, the overall value for money was hard to beat, especially for a family-friendly getaway. Just be aware that the accommodations are more camp-style and not luxurious.

I recently stayed at YMCA of the Rockies and had a mixed experience. While the location in the Rockies is breathtaking and there's a variety of activities for families, the dining was quite disappointing and the accommodations felt outdated. The lodge had a camp-like feel, which was nice, but certain amenities definitely need improvement to enhance the overall experience.

The lodge we stayed in was a bit dated, but it had a unique charm. It felt more like camping than a hotel, which some guests may enjoy. The cleanliness was acceptable, but overall, I would rate the rooms a 6/10.
