Good day, for whom it may concern, I do like the design of the hotel (dinosaurs), the place is “ok/good” for the price; the stuff wasn’t the most incredible but was ok, nice breakfast, nice pool and hot tub, I truly enjoyed it, I can tell that after spending so much money on Hyatt or Hilton at downtown, this small hotel has an incredible atmosphere that makes me want to go back to the hotel again, 8.88/10 (~130 dlls P/night). Pros: Nice hot tub. GYM. Good pool. Nice facilities on the room/hotel. Ice machine. Enough towels for the pool. Good A/C. Good buffet/breakfast. Good decoration, incredible for the kids, and adult. Good house kipper. Good location if you live in Lakewood or you plan to go to southwest plaza/Belmar park. Books for tourists. Dinosaurs. Excellent waffles. Good people on the kitchen. Nice Apples. Negative: No water/chips as gifts for your stay. Poor quality of the key for the room. Not security, (the people were smoking on the pool). The size of the gym is really small (if you will use it…, be advised). No bar service. Not an excellent clean room. You are faraway from downtown Denver. The parking lot can be problematic. No v.parking. No shows. Recommendations: Put a dinosaur in the key of the room, do some shows at least one day per week about dinosaurs, more promotion of the hotel, you can cover the pool/hot tub, put some toys on the pool, better illumination on the pool. Best wishes, Zauberer.
Good dinosaurs.
Nice lobby.

This hotel was a pleasant surprise. Everything was very clean. Room was standard, but spotless. A very nice hot breakfast every morning. Dining area was also kept very clean. Check in was easy and staff was friendly. A small selection of snacks and beverages available for purchase in the lobby, which was a life saver when our flight was delayed and we came in very late. Would definitely stay here again if I was traveling to this area again.

Jenna

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
I had a pretty terrible experience here. First of all, the key cards would only work once and I had to go get new ones at least 6 times. The first room I checked into wreaked like cigarette smoke, and the carpet was dirty and coming up in spots, stained and old. The door closest to my room was "exit only" because the key entry didn't work. Finally, when I moved rooms after needing to stay an extra day they accused me of having my dog in a room that wasnt pet-friendly after registering my dog at the front desk both check in days. I don't recommend this hotel, my experience was not one i'd recommend for others.

I really liked the interior of the location, but would have appreciated all the doors working rather than having to walk to the main lobby everytime I wanted to get back into the hotel. Around the area felt very unsafe due to the lack of security to be seen and the amount of homeless people around.
