"So the YMCA is mainly centered around families, which after seeing the glowing reviews, I can totally understand why people love this place. It's massive, has all the activities you need if you have kids, and all the amenities you'd expect. My review is based on a solo trip to hike RMNP, so please consider it from that perspective. A lot of what I've said is still applicable - even as a solo traveller you'd want for barely anything in this place. The rooms are average (but you need to consider the price vs anything else nearby) but clean, the shower was hot, and the noise curfew welcomed. They have services where you can hire equipment like spikes and poles, lovely views to watch the time pass by and very friendly staff. Areas of improvement? The 3 meals I had there (1 lunch, 2 dinners) were hit and miss. The lunch was very average, the Saturday dinner of ribs and fried chicken was good, but the Monday dinner of Salisbury steak brought it down again. I have to take into account the price and quantity considering it's a buffet, but a little more care is a bonus. I was also actually surprised, considering the care and attention they've put into the place, they're still using disposable cups wrapped in plastic in the rooms. I'd also like to see a tipping option more prevalent for the staff - they def deserve it! Overall though, these are extremely minor quibbles for a place that's charming and very well priced. I'd highly recommend it to families and travellers alike."

"Our visit at The Landing was better than expected. The views from our balcony were breathtaking! Jay was fantastic with all the recommendations he offered for food and activities! And of course the wildlife didn’t disappoint either. We will be back!"

"Wonderful little place within walking distance of downtown! "

"Booked very last minute but Kristina happily accommodated us! She was super helpful and made it easy for us to come and go throughout the night cause we were watching for the Northern Lights. We'd go again! "

"The location of this studio apartment is absolutely perfect! We could sit on the large shared deck and enjoy the view of the lake with a cup of coffee or walk across the park to the lake in one minute. There is a lovely park between the apartment and the lake where you can rest on one of the many benches and enjoy the peace of the lake water and beautiful mountains beyond. Our timing at the beginning of May allowed for a variety of weather, from snowy days to beautiful sunshine. The apartment itself was just right for the two of us and our pup. We cooked on the grill on the deck and in the well stocked kitchen. It had all the pans, bowls, and utensils you could possibly need for the week we spent there. The owner was very quick to respond and communication was excellent. The apartment was clean and well cared for. I would highly recommend this location for a single or couple looking to enjoy the peace of Grand Lake. We spent the week walking the boardwalk in town and hiking around the area. It was very relaxing and just what we needed to escape life for a while. Because of the reviews I read before we went, I took a small dustpan and brush but due to the location by the beach, a broom would be beneficial. We used the vacuum several times to keep up with the sand and dog fur. We definitely plan to come back in the future."
