Cons:

The room smelled of a extremely powerful mildew chemical smell coming from the bathroom so bad that it was difficult to sleep because the breathing in in that smell was terrible and the internet never worked so we couldn't even watch TV the whole visit..

Clean comfortable rooms near the heart of Idaho Springs. Would definitely stay again.
Pros:

Clean and comfortable rooms. Loved the ice maker. Fridge, microwave and coffee maker also appreciated.

Cons:

No staff available on site at 4pm check in. Room info stated pool towels (for Indian Springs facility) available in room, but they were missing. Also, a standard check-in should be 3 PM with a checkout time of 11 AM, in my opinion.

fun and interesting experience in a western small town.
Pros:

The location was perfect for the sweet little town of Idaho Springs. We had hoped to white water raft and the companies were very close but the water was too low.

This classic motel was easy to get in and out of and the parking was great. Communication with staff was good. The updat
Pros:

This is a nice update! The room was very clean. The king suite has a lovely, large bathroom with a nice shower and good lighting. The kitchenette was perfect for our two-night stay. Off-street parking is always a plus!

Cons:

The mattress was so soft, I had back issues for days after. I’d like to see a bit of closet space for hanging clothes. The chest of drawers is nice, but some items are better when hung.
