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.

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!

We really enjoyed the dinosaur-theme of the hotel. Breakfast was good with nice options for kids and adults. The room was comfortable, but a little noisy, being right next to the stairs. There isn't an elevator - which might be a deal-breaker for some. The main reason we cut our stay from two nights to one, was because the pool and hot tub were closed. The fantastic reviews about the pool and hot tub were the only reason we chose this property, so we were really bummed, after 6 miles of walking, to find that it was closed. Don't count on Hotels.com to have up to date info on the hotel amenities...call the hotel and make sure everything you're looking forward to is up and running before you book!

Pool & Hot tub out of order

Then I get to my room and theres no bath tub only a shower, and absolutely no t.p. in the room. I had to call doen to the office immediately. But the people working there were all very nice

This just happens to be a problem of chain hotels that say they have restaurants and hot tubs in their amenities list and for probably the sixth time in the last year no hot tub, pool and the restaurant is closed. It was pretty funny whenever I was voicing my feelings to the front desk guy. He handed me a snack said sorry there’s nothing he can do about it!

Dinosaur theme hotel

Pool hot tub closed for maintenance but not a deal breaker. Good breakfast with hot food options. Friendly staff. Carpets worn , heater in unit loud but that drowned out the city traffic noise for us country folk. The dinosaur theme seems great for families. Nice selection of games etc in lobby that can be borrowed during stay or purchased.
