The decorations were interesting of dinosaurs, etc. The room was clean and the breakfast was very good. The hot tub looked discolored and it kept turning off. Overall, our stay was pleasant.

I had higher hopes but it really is an older hotel pieced together. Beds uncomfortable. Pool is cold despite it being “heated”. Good place for a quick overnight though
Such a cute spot to stay. The breakfast is great! I have been here a few times, and each time all staff have been kind and hospitable. Though, during my last visit, it seemed as if they were experiencing sewer problems. There was a foul smell throughout and I tried to enjoy the hot tub but the smell was too much. I hope this is resolved before my next stay!
Everything was fine except for the people regularly smoking pot in the parking lot, loitering near my car. I knew it was legal before I travelled here, but was not aware that meant I would have to regularly inhale it to get to my room, in and out of stores, and while hiking. They can’t smoke in the hotels, so they loiter in the parking lots. I guess that’s is Colorado, now. So many stoned people and the scent of pot skunk almost everywhere. This hotel was very clean, the staff very nice, and the rooms were quiet. The complimentary breakfast was a simple buffet of cereals or eggs. It’s a shame about the pot. People come here for the fresh air and can’t get away from the stench of marijuana, and the loitering makes some travelers feel unsafe.
Really loved our stay at this very clean and comfortable hotel close to Red Rocks! All of the staff were great, especially the hardworking breakfast lady. We loved the eggs, potatoes, and chile verde!
The room was very nice. It did lack a safe and required ironing board. The breakfast was great the 1st couple of days but the last 3 were adequate. There was a sign saying the electrical problem. Looks like the room has been updated.
This was a total surprise and probably the most interesting motel we have ever stayed at, with the way cool, not kitschy, dinosaur theme. I need to come back with our grandsons! The pool was terrific, rooms spacious, with hard surface flooring, terrific breakfast and a great price.
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!
The pool was great it has shallow end that was wonderful for my kids to splash is and an area for them to swim. The channel sheets in the room do need to be updated as there is no guide to channels. Breakfast was the same daily. Our room was comfortable and housekeeping went the extra mile to clean up our beds.
Room and hotel itself were very clean and staff were great. Older hotel so some stuff coming off the wall like trim. Only complaint is the beds are hard as rocks. The breakfast was phenomenal though! Would recommend. Good area and very safe property.

Very cool hotel. The lobby area is really neat with all the dinosaurs. The breakfast was really good. Staff was really kind as well.
Great hotel. We stayed 4 nights. We booked for an event at Red Rocks, it was very close, made it very easy to get to the concert. Lots of restaurants and stores around. Plus, a very fun dinosaur theme. AC worked well. Clean room. Free breakfast. Would stay here again.
