The beds definitely don't look fluffy and comfortable like the ones they show in photos- very uncomfortable, older beds that when you turn over, they about bounce you out of bed! Pillows were flat as pancakes. Surprise $100 deposit at check in not mentioned on Orbitz. Room was pretty clean- hair in shower and on bedding. Right next to pool is not very quiet. People up partying and loud at 4am. Sound barriers in room are not good- upstairs above us sounded like a wrestling match was going on. Breakfast food options limited as compared to other BW's and very basic. Holes in black out curtains let light in. A/C super loud and made an annoying high pitched sound. Pretty disappointing stay.

Great older property that is really well run. Rooms were clean. Pool was great. Hot breakfast was well tended and staff was always friendly and helpful. Parking is easy. Everything was easy actually. It’s older so some things show wear but overall this place is clean, safe and quiet with great amenities.

This property was perfect for our trip for a concert at Red Rocks. It has plenty of parking and is in a fairly quiet area. The staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast offered lots of options, and the breakfast staff were so helpful, offering to carry drinks to our table, etc... Our only complaint was one of the exterior doors located on our side of the property was unable to be used, forcing us to enter through the main entrance each time. While this wasn't a huge inconvenience, it would have been nice to have the door accessible. The beds (and pillows) were great!
