I stayed at the River Mountain Lodge for two nights in connection with a business trip to Breckenridge. I booked a one-bedroom unit. I expected everything to be on one level, but the bedroom and one bathroom were up an internal staircase. The downstairs was fine. The upstairs - that's another matter.
The bedroom was large but largely unfurnished except for the bed, some night tables and a dresser. There was only one chair in the room (see photo). It appeared to be a chair that was pulled out of a meeting room elsewhere in the Lodge, not something that was designed for a bedroom.
There were no windows in the bedroom. There was just a skylight built into the sloping ceiling, but it did not open. The sun could beat in during the daytime, but there was nothing to open to cool the room down. There was a ceiling fan that could move the warm air around but not cool the room down. It was stuffy and hard to get comfortable at night. Also, one side of the bed was under the sloping ceiling. I'm 6'3", so if I got out of the bed on that side I would hit my head on the ceiling. I slept on the other side of the bed.
The downstairs living/dining/kitchen area was nice. It had windows and also a small balcony, although the view was into a courtyard that could get noisy...I stayed at the River Mountain Lodge for two nights in connection with a business trip to Breckenridge.

The downstairs living/dining/kitchen area was nice. It had windows and also a small balcony, although the view was into a courtyard that could get noisy at times. The kitchen was fine. There was also a bathroom in that lower level. Internet hookup was quick and the connection was fast, so I was able to work efficiently at the dining table. It appeared that the large sofa in the room was a sleeper sofa, but it would have been hard to extend it because there was a lot of heavy furniture in the way that I would have had to move, and the foot of the sleeper would have come very close to the fireplace in the room.
Check-in and check-out were handled well. The Lodge has an underground garage that was fairly easy to navigate and use. The location of the Lodge is excellent, within easy walking distance of the commercial district and several other condo complexes.
The Lodge advertised that it had a fitness center. I was planning to make a workout part of my mornings, but for some reason the fitness center didn't open until 9 am, when I was already into the work day. I'm not sure why it opened so late.
The up-and-down one bedroom in the Lodge would probably be a better place to stay during cold weather. It's not built for summer. The conference room chair in the bedroom was bizarre.More
