My wife and I stayed at the Fantastic Chamonix Hotel and Casino in Cripple Creek, CO, to celebrate…read moremy 90th birthday. Our valet parking attended, Ronald took our luggage to the front desk, where the cheerful attendants, Shalee, Chelsie and Ashley provided us with our keys to a suite. (We were able to check in early) After moving into our suite the casino floor beckoned us. We both played in Chamonix casino and all through Bronco Billy's. Had a great time. I had one hand-pay. Dawn the local bartender, Lexi, pay master and Joel, security, watched over everything, all helped me with this exciting event. Great people. Dinner was at the new Don Juan's Cucina Mexican restaurant. Loads of food and a special Tequila. On our way to the suite my walker needed adjustment and Tim, custodian, came to the rescue. All in all everything from arrival to 980 Prime, Saturday, was beyond high quality. W. Field, marketing and W. Vinson, personal host made my 90th birthday the very best.

DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU'RE TRAVELING WITH A PET unless you're prepared to pay a $200 NONREFUNDABLE…read morepet fee for a one-night stay. This fee was not disclosed anywhere during the booking process that I could find. The only place it appears is buried in the Terms & Conditions in small print at the bottom of the website. My friend and I ended up in Cripple Creek after a hailstorm cut our camping trip short. We had my 10-pound, 10-year-old dog, Cosmo, with us, so I specifically booked a pet-friendly room at Chamonix. Everything was going well at first. Becki in valet was absolutely wonderful - friendly, helpful, and by far the highlight of our experience. At the front desk, I checked in, provided my ID, and they ran my credit card. As the employee was about to hand me my room keys, he casually asked if I had any pets. When I said yes and pointed to Cosmo, who was standing with our luggage, he replied, "Okay, that'll be a $200 charge." A $200 nonrefundable pet fee for one small, well-behaved dog staying one night is outrageous - especially when it exceeded the cost of the room itself. Most higher-rated, true luxury hotels, like The Broadmoor, charge $50-$100, or they place a refundable deposit for potential damages. Waiting until after my card had already been charged to disclose this fee felt like an intentionally shady business practice. When I told them I couldn't justify paying an additional $200 and asked to cancel the reservation, I was initially told they don't allow same-day cancellations. The manager eventually agreed to waive the cancellation fee, but despite my request, never came out to speak with me directly. One additional disappointment: while waiting in line, a second front desk manager who had been assisting other guests stopped acknowledging me when I got to the front of line. I have severe POTS, which makes standing for extended periods difficult, and that made an already stressful situation even harder. It's unfortunate because I had been looking forward to seeing the property, having dinner at one of the restaurants, and spending a few hours gambling in the casino. Instead, we left and found somewhere else to stay. If the pet fee had been clearly disclosed during booking, I simply would have chosen another hotel. Transparency upfront would have avoided this entire experience, despite the fact that $200 is still an outrageous charge for a pet.

I have to get the one downside that I experienced out of the way. It wouldn't have bothered me so much, but the manager on duty put the alcohol wristband on my wrist so tightly that my hand started to tingle. This was after the bartender told me that I didn't need a wristband! He insisted that we needed to be wearing them even as it was mid afternoon and hardly anyone was there. He was a little rude and kept walking up behind the ladies that worked the roulette table, making them slightly uncomfortable. I kept thinking about how funny it would be if one of them would "accidentally" give him an elbow to the gut to remind him he needed to back up. ;) Other than that, all of the other employees were super nice. I didn't play roulette, but as I was sitting at the table the dealers acknowledged that I was there and made it more fun to watch. The guys had a beer, but I had my usual dressed shot of tequila... which is not allowed at the table because of the salt. I am not sure if it's because of the nearby motel, but I got caught up on my emails with their free WI-FI. The casino is well-kept and clean. The restrooms are located on the other side (not near the roulette tables), but are decent. It's a nice place to stop for a little while if you're ever in Cripple Creek. Review #111

We had never run into this issue being full time rv people, but we looked on to further rv parks. We came across cripple creek and WOW what a surprise it was. Such amazing people and a nice little spot to be in. Very quiet and they have just about everything you need. Our rvs microwave doesn't work for some reason so we had asked if they had one inside. Well to my surprise they had a microwave, an ice chest, washing machines, dryers, a breakfast area and a seating area for reading: it was a very nice building which is also a hotel if you want to stay there. The rv park also has a dog area, full hook ups for the rvs, sewage, water, bathrooms, a food truck, and washers/dryers. Highly recommend visiting this place even if you don't have an rv.

People didn't seem joyful and I couldn't see people winning. The folks I sat by all had a similar story of losing without the machines doing any give and take. We all realize coming to these places, the casino has the edge and if playing long enough you'll likely lose your money. It just shouldn't be so fast or the fun and entertainment is taken out of the experience. Maybe machines were just a little tighter because it was a Friday evening, or maybe a bunch of people won prior to us sitting and the machines were getting theirs back. Either way, I had more fun at several other places next to this one. I'd most likely return, it just won't be my first stop.

Breakfast the next morning was awkward as he hovered while we got coffee. We literally had to excuse ourselves to get around him to our table. He brought us fruit and told me I wasn't eating it the way it was staged. I was confused and it made me ill at ease. That was the end of breakfast for me. I didn't want anything more.
