This is a nice hotel, just in a run down area with fast food joints and semi trucks parked everywhere. It’s not close to the small downtown area so you have to drive and find parking. Compared to Banff and Jasper, Golden just didn’t have much going for it.

The front desk staff was super friendly, I just couldn’t get past the smell in the hallway on the second floor. Just smelt musty and seemed pretty run down in general. I wouldn’t stay here again.
