The hotel is fine. Clean and confortable. The area seems safe but not a very nice location. For the price it is fine. Dogs can stay for a decent fee. Breakfast a litlle bit above average. Friendly personal.

The location is great! Everything felt accessible, especially the mearby restaurants and shops. We did not feel the need to go Downtown Denver just to explore food options. The staff is friendly. I appreciate that everything was explained as we were checking in. The staff is also very much willing to help when we had comcerns. The rooms are spacious and clean. The house keepers made it sure that everything is clean (we're just happy seeing everything clean after being out for almost the entire day). The pool is kid-friendly. Kids would love it as the pool has areas of various heights with 5 ft being the maximum. The pool also has a hot springs portion. I appreciate that he guidelines posted for those using the hot springs and the main pool. Points of improvement Keycards- sometimes they work but sometimes, they don't. Breakfast- wished there were more varieties/options. We stayed for 5 days and 4 nights so by 4th/5th day, we were hoping for something new as we were earing the same breakfast for the past days.

The hotel itself is beautiful and very well decorated. The morning staff were not that helpful but over all my experience was great. It was unfortunate that their pool and hot tub were closed as I tried to book it specifically for that. Either way I give it 4/5 as the night staff were pleasent and helpful, the hotel was very clean and affordable

went to eat breakfast and the fire alarm was pulled, and some guy was waiting outside and started threatening me and my friends by saying he was gonna stab us and steal our truck, so we told the front desk employee and all they said was “yeah we’ve had a few complaints about him already”
