Why Concert-goers love it

Music fans appreciate that it’s just a short drive to iconic venues like Red Rocks and downtown Denver’s arenas. After the show, you’ll return to a quieter suburban setting—perfect for winding down.

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant or bar, the hotel offers a daily continental breakfast—ideal after a late night. Coffee-making facilities in every room help you start the day at your own pace. Several casual eateries and fast food options are just a short drive or walk away, but late-night dining is limited, so consider grabbing something on the way back from the show.

Nightlife Options

This hotel is more about rest and recovery than rowdy nights, but you’re only 15-20 minutes from Denver’s buzzing nightlife scene, with bars, clubs, and lounges near the stadiums. Back at the hotel, the vibe is chill—ideal if you’re winding down instead of turning up.

What People Say

Guests love the clean rooms and the friendly, helpful staff. The seasonal outdoor pool is a nice bonus in warmer months, and many reviews highlight the hotel’s quiet atmosphere—perfect after a loud night out. The location, while not central, is praised for its convenience to both Golden and Denver.

Areas for Improvement

Some travelers mention that the hotel could use a refresh in decor and amenities. If you're relying on public transport, the location may feel a bit isolated. Also, breakfast ends early, so plan accordingly if you're sleeping in.
