Arapahoe Inn

Great location (directly across from The Goat) and dog friendly! They had a pretty decent free continental breakfast of bagels (with butter), toast (with PB, honey and jams), english muffins, waffles (with syrups), coffee (multiple shakers of toppings and milk/​cream), teas, juices, protein bars, a few varieties of fresh fruit… and the bagels were big and in multiple flavors, not just the sad bag of shrunken plain bagels you see at the grocery store. We didn’t get here in time to try their indoor hot tub (closes at 10pm) but I will for sure make use of it on my next visit. And for around $ 100, there will definitely be a next visit because if you’re skiing Keystone, you can’t get any closer at this price. Verrry friendly guy working the front desk too. Easy free parking all around the building. Rooms were pretty bland, walls were sorta thin and the tv was small… but it was clean, had toiletries and did the job. I don’t come to Keystone to hang around my hotel room anyway!

I have been staying at the Arapahoe Inn, because it is in a great location and is a «skier’s hotel» (meaning also inexpensive and friendly management),

Great location/​price! But a little «suspicious» service. Rooms lacked certain amenities such as coffee maker, spoons, toiletries (you have to ask), proper pillows, etc. It worried us a little that there was no1 at the front desk when we tried to check in, and the doors to the inn were not locked when we stumbled home at 2am. And there was no security to protect other patrons against bums, or… loud ppl like us. There was also no1 at reception at night either, so maybe they should require the use of our room keys to get in? When i tried to call downstairs no1 answered, so it seems pretty consistent that the staff tries to spend as little time possible at reception. Place advertises free internet but signal is so weak it can’t be used. But it is right across from the resort/​bar and you can’t argue with the price, and I would stay here again anyways. So they are A-​Ok in my book.

The location cannot be beat. As far as value is concerned, you won’t find a cheaper place to rest your weary bones after a day on the slopes that is so close to as many après-​ski amenities.
Try and spend as little time at the front desk as possible. After reading multiple negative reviews about the customer service I thought they couldn’t ALL be right… but they were. The man behind the counter, whose name will be kept confidential, sent me away in tears because of his condescending attitude. He knows they have the market cornered and can get away with being unpleasant as the budget-​conscious skiier has few other options.

Place is a dump– don’t waste your $$.
1) Hot tub is only 90Deg F. Basically cold
2) No hot water in the shower
3) Free breakfast is served to late and lousy coffee– NO CREAM
4) Just plain old and not updated at all.
There are better places in the area for the same money or less. I’m going to the Keystone Inn right across the street next time. Oh well I gave them a try. Don’t make the same mistake.

Across the street from Keystone. Cheapest place and totally convenient. You’ve got the Goat (Soup & Whiskey) a couple hundred feet away and the Snake River Saloon in walking distance. Super fun times. Mini pool sized hot tub, just make sure to stay awake for hot tub hour.
