The cheapest, I didn't say "cheap", lodging in Keystone Resort (Colorado) area is the Luxury Inn and Suites. Located in Silverthorne, Colorado just north of I-70 and one block east of the main drag, the hotel/motel is conveniently located near shops, restaurants, markets, and more.
The rooms are moderate in size and fairly clean, although the tile in the bathroom was cracked and some of the furniture looked as though it was purchased at the local Goodwill. Wireless internet is free, but slower than molasses in January...aargh, aargh. The "king" bed I was supposed to sleep in was a few testicles short of kingliness, looking more like a "queen" to me (no disrespect intended to my LGBT audience). It was fairly comfortable nonetheless.

I paid $69 weekday and $90 weekend on Hotwire, but when I got to the hotel they were advertising $54.95 weekday rates. My payment to Hotwire came to $320 plus tax for four nights, which seems a bit high for a 1 STAR property, but the rooms are clean with a small fridge and microwave, AC, TV with HBO, small indoor pool with Jacuzzi, and continental breakfast included. Even though I paid an average of $80 per night, a value in this overpriced tourist area, I do not appreciate paying $15 more than the advertised rate people simply walking in off the street pay. Hotwire.com should be ashamed of themselves!
Breakfast is "OK", with hot coffee, bagels, English muffins, and donuts still in the plastic box from the supermarket ... classy! The staff are not very friendly, but helpful when pressed into action. They seem to care less that you exist, much less being a breathing human being and "valued" customer? Checkout is at 10:00 AM, so do not plan on sleeping in. I was lucky enough to talk the manager (owner?) into an 11:30 AM checkout on my last day, but it took some persistence and smooth talking to get him to grudgingly agree.

It was fairly comfortable nonetheless.The indoor pool was small, yet clean, with a decent size Jacuzzi that had whirlpool jets with a prostate problem...not a very forceful stream if you know what I mean.
Exterior doors are open all night with no supervision, so if you are looking for security, keep on looking!
