My new husband, a long-time Coloradan, wanted to show me the charms of Gunnison and Crested Butte. Hoping to see some golden aspens, we took a 3-day birthday weekend in mid September (we were a bit early, but beautiful scenery nonetheless). We were delighted with the Water Wheel for several reasons: * The windows opened so we could get fresh... more

Thought the accomodations were nice but the loacation is too far from town for us. My wife and I clocked almost 3 miles on the odometer from downtown to the hotel which really limits the choice of resuraunts and shopping within walking distance. Overall nice place more

Anyway, upon arriving we noticed that the entire property... more

Above average accomodations. Our room was located in the back overlooking a golf course. The funishings were fine and everything was in working order. The buffet breakfast was ample. This was an excellent value for the price. The staff was helpful. more
