good place for business travel
stayed one night, upon arrival had a minor problem with room's plumbing – got instantly re-assigned (Sunday night off-peak travel helped here) Comfortable, quiet and clean room, good internet, nice work chair in the room. WOrkable breakfast included in room rate, nothing exciting but food is food. Overall, very convenient hotel.

Nice one night stay
The breakfast was very nice with lots of choices. The rooms were clean and roomy. The only negative is turning into the motel off the two streets. It is right on the corner of a busy intersection with islands between lanes. You must be traveling west or south in order to turn into the motel. No problem if you are aware ahead of time.

Perfectly comfortable, perfectly clean,
Perfectly comfortable, perfectly clean, easy & friendly. The bed was a little bouncy/soft but otherwise good to have two queens for a family of 4 to share. The shower was particularly nice, hot and forceful. We have stayed there before, and we would definitely stay there again.

Location, Location
Overall, we had a really good experience at the Best Western Golden Buffalo Hotel! The location is excellent, adjacent to endless shopping and restaurants. When the power went out across the city, we decided to walk downtown to the wonderful Pearl Street Mall, which is less than a mile from the hotel. Alternatively, we could've walked a few blocks to the beautiful University of Colorado campus. Our room at the Golden Buff was spacious, comfortable and clean. The complimentary breakfast buffet was very good, located in a large conference room with a big screen TV. We also took advantage of the laundry facilities and the pool.
