Great place to stay
My stay was very pleasant. The staff checking me in was nice and helpful. I'm not from the area, so when I ask for directions, they help me out. The pool and exercising room was very clean and very well kept

The hotel and the staff were great. The room was smaller than expected but still nice. The bed was a little uncomfortable and the water pressure in the shower was low. Over all a good stay

Amazing Stay
Other than my toliet kept periodically running through out the night, it was an excellent stay. The beds were clean, and comfortable. Everything worked as it should. The breakfast was a good variety. The gentleman who checked us in was polite, and friendly. The process of checking in an out was seamless and quick. Will stay again.

It was very good and very close to the hospital as I had to have surgery the following day so we traveled there so we would be closer. We also appreciate the hot tub being open a little bit later for some relaxation.

Great value!
I've stayed here twice on my journey back and forth from Ohio to Colorado and enjoyed it each time. It's such a great value for the amenities: Pet-friendly, free hot breakfast, pool... It felt like a safe area and the staff was friendly and helpful.
