Perfect for overnight stay. We had tickets for a concert at Red Rocks and this location was perfect as a 15 minute drive. The next morning we were headed to Estes Park so the included breakfast buffet got us on the road quickly and convenient as right off the highway. Bed was comfortable; room was clean. Included self parking is also a plus. Got there early so had time to explore Golden.

Location was what we needed and that must be why they could charge so much. Everything felt dingy and quickly headed toward run down. The breakfast bagel was stale and a cockroach wondered across the breakfast room floor. The AC unit rattled noisily. Tiny towels and no extras provided. Pool and hot tub were cloudy and unappealing.

The hotel was clean, the rooms were big and had air con. The reception staff were friendly. Breakfast was good as well. We didn’t get round to using the gym or pool, so can’t comment on them. There was also a pizza place across the road which did really good pizzas.
