Modern Erie Home - Walk to Downtown!

ERIE, COLORADO JOB STAY

COMFORTABLE, PLEASANT AND ENJOYED THE DOWNTOWN AREA

Comfortable and clean but a few small things

The place is fine - comfortable and clean enough. Easy to get in and there are two parking spaces (one in the garage and other on driveway). Close to some places to eat and driving distance to some great areas. We only used the place to sleep and spent our days and evenings out so for that it was good enough. But there are a few smaller issues to consider - nothing that made the trip terrible but just be aware if important to you (and for the price): 1. We couldn't get the wifi to work. Now I imagine if we called, someone would have helped us, but we've stayed in plenty of places and never had a problem connecting. 2. Could use more bathroom or room hooks to hang towels. 3. There is no bureau space whatsoever. It was fine living out of the suitcase but most places have some drawers or shelves to put your clothes. 4. The bedrooms are above the garage of the main house. One night around 1:00 AM someone must have come home and the garage door operation was quite loud. It did not wake up my wife or son, but I am a lighter sleeper and it woke me up (and I forgot there was another garage so was confused for a few minutes!) 5. Although there is a small deck it overlooks a back alley with lots of dumpsters and the back of some bars. We were not expecting a view and really only used the place to sleep so it didn't matter to us. Again - no major problems and was clean and comfortable, but probably worth knowing these things if important to you.

So-so

Bare bones accommodations with no amenities. Comfortable beds, lots of towels, but no cleaning supplies, or extras at all. Wet linen left in washer and bathroom in 1/2 bath has a growing sewer odor. Might be good for an overnight, but not so much for long-term. I’ve stayed in MANY renal homes and this has to be the least accommodating.

"New" but not great

We arrived close to 5:30pm for a 4pm check-in time on a Friday to find the unit was locked with a cleaning lady inside. She was friendly and tried to be helpful - told us to come back in about 30 min and she would be finished. We had somewhere to be by 7pm so luckily the town is walkable and we went to dinner. W left for over an hour to return to find the place was still not ready! At this point, we HAD to place our bags in the unit and leave. The check-in process was less than ideal and we were not able to get ready for our evening out at Red Rocks like we anticipated. I will highlight a few pros and cons, making our stay just "okay." Cons: -Laundry was left in both the machine and dryer. I had to finish drying spare sheets left by the cleaning crew and rotate their laundry while on vacation as it completely smelled of mildew in the unit. We had two HUGE loads of bed linens and towels from the unit just laying on our floor the entire stay. -There was NO toilet paper left for us to use aside from the 1/4 rolls loaded on the roll in each bathroom. -Fingerprints ALL over the refrigerator and microwave so you could tell surfaces were not completely cleaned or sanitized in the kitchen. -The dishwasher was completely full of clean dishes needing to be emptied, but a dirty dish and cookie sheet that were used had just been "placed" inside the dishwasher as if to just hide it temporarily. -Bathroom shower was loaded with hair along the baseboards, ledge in the shower window, and in the tub. -Bedrooms had dust and hair along the baseboards also. -Beds are all low grade memory foam. The twins are probably fine for small kids, but even our teenage girls sank into an uncomfortable pit. Pro's: -Long term renter on site was super friendly and helpful, and has adorable dogs. -Balcony in the morning to enjoy coffee and watch the hot air balloons nearby -Location in the downtown area was excellent for grabbing coffee in the morning and a beer/cider & dinner at night. -Everything is "newer" as this is new construction so the aesthetic in theory should be clean and modern. No apology or communication from owner or management about the late cleaning crew and check in. For the price paid this is sub par experience and a miss for us.
