    We didn’t know until we arrived that the hotel had a dinosaur theme. Great if you have kids that like dinosaurs. The breakfast bar had more choices than we were expecting. It was great each day we had it. The staff was very polite and helpful as well!

    Pictures showed a chess board and checkers board for entertainment. Neither were there. Bathrooms are extremely small. Breakfast ended early each day, so we had slim pickings. Good selection of apps and channels on the tv. Cool dinosaur fossils everywhere and murals in the back of the hotel.

    Dirty, stinky, room, with a Dog Barking outside the window, You have to ask for towels, and they only give you one large hand towel! Really? This is a Crackheads dream castle! Or a one night stand-a-thon if you got tricks lined up! That's all! If I could give it no stars! I would! STAY AWAY FROM HERE!

    The room was basic the usual microwave and mini fridge. No problem there. There was an issue with the bedding. There was a very strong chemical/cleaner smell on the sheets and blanket. It overwhelmed room. We asked the front desk for new bedding and was handed a wad of blankets and sheets that didn’t smell. I have no problems with the young guy at the front desk he was helpful as he could be. He seemed to be the only one on staff so he had his handful. If you are passing through and are wondering about location there is a lot of homeless roaming around. The night we were there someone set a fire in a garbage can right outside our room it was bad enough that we were evacuated. Fire department and police were called. Ultimately the guy was released with a trespassing ticket and send on his way. Only to return 3 hours later. The stay was a nightmare. I reached out to the owner with no response. I wish more people would talk about location in reviews. Location MATTERS.

    Really cool environment if you are into dinosaurs and fossils. The hotel is older and shows its age in places. But it's clean and well maintained. Bed is not too bad. HVAC is noisy (we've had 2 different rooms with the same issue). Staff is courteous and the included breakfast is pretty good with fresh scrambled eggs, green chili, some kind of meat and potatoes. The coffee is awful, but everything else is quite good.

    Good location within 20 mins of red rocks. Waffles was good. Basic hotel, cheap price. Friendly staff. Free parking. Hotel is over 2 floors and doesn’t have a lift but was able to accommodate a room on the ground floor. Window was left unlocked. Not very thick bedding, although they do have storage heater that you can provide own warmth. No hand rails in shower but was able to provide a anti-slip mat on request. Few issues with key not working but was apologetic and resolved quickly. Lots of worker vans in car park, people taking outside and in hallways early morning.

    We paid extra for early check in and it seems like our room was extremely small.It had an attached door, and you could hear everything in the room attached to us, even housekeeping. The person that stayed next to us was extremely loud. They did have a bunch of construction people there.They were nice as well as doing some maintenance on the building itself.So it was a little messy. We have stayed here before and truly enjoyed the breakfast. However, this stay breakfast was the same thing Every day and the cereals were only about 4 to 5. Prevously they even had biscuits and gravy for breakfast, so we were saddened to see that it was the same thing. Every day.

    The craziest part of this terrible stay was that there were definitively drug deals and prostitution going on ALL NIGHT IN THIS HOTEL and in the rooms directly across from mine. If I wasn’t so tired from driving all day I would have left and even slept in my car. If you can call this a hotel as this was utterly the worst stay I’ve had in a hotel and I’ve stayed at Motel 6’s. Room definitely DID NOT MATCH the photos on the website. No carpeting. Work was being done on many rooms and was very dirty. Dust and debris all over the halls. Construction materials all over out the door to parking. Door to the room had literally a TWO INCH GAP and the hallways had super bright lights on all day and alll night. I had to take towels and block the light so it didn’t light up the room all night. I AM NOT JOKING OR EXAGGERATING the gap under the door and the lights from the hallway lit up the entire room without using the towels. I was thoroughly disappointed in this stay and caution anyone ahead of thinking of staying here. Desk clerk spoke little English and claimed he couldn’t give a refund or even a discount. If you can help it, please consider sleeping somewhere else.

    The lobby was nice. The gentleman behind the front desk when we checked in and out was very unfriendly and rude which was disappointing. He was equally rude and abrasive over the phone. The room had what looked to be blood stains on the carpet and the bathroom was about the size of a small closet and had very poor ventilation so the ceiling was covered in moldy spots. The cable box for our Tv was unplugged and dangling from the wall so that didn’t work either. The pillows didn’t even qualify for the definition of a pillow, more like a small empty pillowcase.

    They were doing construction on the rooms after 5 pm at night when I arrived. I was given a room surrounded by construction materials and workers. A man was roaming around the halls and left. I waited at least 5 minutes twice for a front desk clerk. It felt unsafe and unmonitored for a single female traveler. I ended up getting a refund but the front desk clerk was not great to work with. Expedia made me get a manager and wasted 45 minutes of my time after a long day of traveling.

    The rooms at this hotel are not safe. This hotel is using thin white extension cords to plug in their refrigerators and microwaves. Refrigerators and microwaves don’t have a dedicated plug. Extension cords are only supposed to be used on a temporary basis. This hotel is a fire hazard.

I normally only care about a bed to sleep in but we ended up staying in our room quite a bit. It’s very quiet around here even being close to 285, you barely hear the traffic! I never heard neighbors tv or conversations in our room (even though I heard talking walking in the hall)! The staff has been polite and helpful! The breakfast is pretty good (real eggs) with a decent variety!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    The hotel was clean and quiet. Breakfast was ok. Staff was so friendly. Big downfall was not that many channels on the tv and the Netflix app would not connect for us log in. Also the room had some random items form previous guests which was odd.. Bobby pins in the bathroom and eyedrops under the nightstand

    Staff and prices were great, but the rooms and bathrooms were pretty small compared to other hotels. Pool smelled of sulfur at times and I noticed lots of bugs in the water. Probably should use more chlorine to keep it clean or something.

    TV didn't work. I went to front desk 3 times. He moved us to another room. The TV was old and small. The halls were dirty. Only 1 ice machine worked which was at the other end of motel. The lobby restrooms were locked in the evenings and overnight to keep out illegal activities. One entrance door on the side would only allow exit not entrace. Young people were running throughout from rooms to rooms. We chose this hotel because we were told there was RV parking available but there wasn't. We took up many parking spots. I would not recommend staying here.

Bed was comfortable, bathroom was small, and has a dinosaur theme. Pleasent stay, biggest gripe was the front desk guy was new and not trained so took forever for him to check me in.

    Overall I would have to say that this Best Western was pretty good. The only issues that I had was the comfort of the bed. I could feel the springs in the mattress. The other issues was how loud the cleaning crew was in the morning. I could hear the staff talking loudly outside my door at 8am when I was still trying to sleep. Other than those two issues, my stay was good and I would stay there again in the future.

    The bed is too firm, breakfast is mediocre, the pool is green, and customer service is lacking. I asked for extra pillows and was told they have no extra pillows until housekeeping came the next morning. What hotel doesn't have the capability to give extra pillows or towels? I also tried to discuss a partial refund for a booking I have a week later and the woman at the front desk was not helpful. I prepaid when I booked and that exact same room is now $73 cheaper. I guess that just goes to show that you shouldn't stay at the same hotel within 10 days if you haven't stayed there before. The average reviews don't accurately reflect my opinion of this hotel.

    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!
