Uplift Inn

Uplift Inn was a delightful surprise! The rooms were modern, clean, and incredibly comfortable. The attention to detail was evident in every corner, from the plush bedding to the thoughtful amenities. We loved the spacious layout and the quiet atmosphere, perfect for a relaxing getaway. The staff was friendly and accommodating, going above and beyond to ensure our stay was enjoyable. Check-in was a breeze, and they were always available to answer questions or offer recommendations. We would definitely stay at Uplift Inn again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. It's a hidden gem that offers exceptional value for the price.

The bed and linens were very comfortable! Our stay started a little rocky as the entire town was experiencing a power outage but that was beyond the hotels control. We were given detailed arrival instructions which went smoothly. Our power outage only lasted 15 minutes and the rest of the stay was wonderful! We appreciated the vintage/modern look of the hotel. Quaint and cozy. Big shower!

Review is for *Lift Landing*, same management and website, next door, not shown on TA. PROS: shower, room code for door, sink, location close to Mt. Evans. CONS: Room not aired before our arrival so it was close to 80 degrees w/no A/C. Door drags over-padded new carpet and is difficult to open/close. Very allergenic. Provided fan was loaded w/dust and greasy dirt--unusable. Freezer compartment full of hard frost--unusable. Beds Very Firm foam. No chair or counter space. We managed to get a few hours sleep by: leaving door as open as possible for a couple of hours (no security or privacy); adding our 2" foam toppers to the beds; using our rechargeable mini-fan; taking antihistamines; wearing ear plugs for traffic noise since window must stay open; looking for things to appreciate and focusing on Mt. Evans trip the following day; getting up and leaving quite early :-) Evident attention to minimizing staff effort, while giving minimal attention to customer comfort. No chance of repeat business from us.

We were looking for a place to stay for one night before visiting Mount Evans. Idaho Springs did not have many options that looked good… Uplift Inn had the best reviews so we decided to give it a try. The room was small and basic, but the beds were super comfortable and the room was very clean, which is the most important factor for me! If you’re looking for a clean, comfortable, inexpensive place… this is it! Very friendly and welcoming management team as well. One warning… there is no air conditioning. The floor fan worked fine for us, but it is something to consider during warm weather.

Absolutely terrible room. No AC and 2 army cots in a dungeon. My wife and I walked into the room and it was in excess of 85 degrees. No ventilation with a fan running. We left immediately. The telephone representative refused to refund the reservation. Numerous more attempts to contact hotel with no resolution. Room was uninhabitable!!!!! Also I believe this motel probably pays for positive reviews. I find it hard to believe anyone would give a positive review to this absolute dump.

We truly enjoyed our stay at the Uplift Inn while visiting Idaho Springs. Reasonably priced, great location and super cute room. Staff was friendly and extremely accommodating! I really loved the big bathroom with plenty of space for my toiletries and places to hang towels. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend Uplift Inn!

We stay here every year on our way to a trade show in Vegas. The owners are super accommodating. The rooms are well furnished, comfortable and clean. It’s right next door to Marion’s which has the most delicious breakfast burrito in Colorado and right across the street from a beautiful bubbling creek. We adore this little town, the businesses in it, and the people that live here and will continue to stay here every year. Thank you so much for making our travels easier, comfortable and fun.

If you are looking for a basic room only, this is the place. The room appeared to have been upgraded recently and was clean. However, there were no frills. There is no place to leave your luggage if you arrive before check in or want to stay in Idaho Springs for a bit after checkout. There is no lobby, no vending, no one onsite who can help with any issues. The Samsung smart TV had Samsung TV and the ability to sign into your own Netflix, etc. However, the signal was so weak, watching tv was pretty much constant buffering. The location was right across the street from Kodi whitewater rafting so the location was great to walk across the street and leave your valuables in the room while you raft. It was also walking distance to the Argo Mill. Smoking Yards is a BBQ place across the street which was amazing and we enjoyed breakfast at Marion’s of the Rockies. However, it was a little walk to the “downtown” where the touristy shopping area is. We also had trouble getting rideshares in Idaho Springs, so I don’t recommend visiting without your own transportation or without arranging something ahead of time.

Stayed here with a group of 4 friends the week before New Years, and we were very happy with our stay. We were in suite 4 which had a living room and a queen bed, with a separate bedroom. Our group really appreciated all the space as we had quite a bit of luggage given we were visiting as part of a ski road trip. The ample space in the bathroom was really appreciated as we were traveling with 3 women and 1 guy. The beds were super comfortable, everything was clean, and there was a Starbucks and McDonalds just a few feet away. The town is small, so you can also walk about a mile to the grocery store or other restaurants. The communication from the management was great, check in was a breeze as we arrived late and they provided us with a code for the door, and they provided lots of coffee and tea in the room. The fridge was a bit small, and a light in the hallway would have been helpful, but otherwise this was a really great stay.
