Above-average hotel. Good price, nice stay.
Pros:

Fitness center was nice. Pool had hot tub - that's rare! Overall nice atmosphere, especially for the price. Cleaner than most hotels I've stayed at.

Cons:

Breakfast items. Sausage was very salty and overcooked. I didn't try anything else. Would love you to add a water cooler in the lobby for guests to fill bottles. If there was one, I missed it.

I'd stay again
Pros:

Very comfy bed and pillows. Very clean facility. Pool and hot tub were not overly coordinated. Only negative was that the traffic noise was very prominent in the room. I think this is the norm for Holiday Inn Express hotels everywhere.

Cons:

Highway noise.

Pros:

Facility was nice and so was staff. Got charged extra ro check in a little bit early wasn't told found out after I paid we could have waited 15 more minutes. Room was spacious.
Shower was nice and dove soap.

Cons:

The breakfast was sooo gross. Facility very loud kid running and jumping until midnight called and told the staff it stopped for 10.minutes and started up again. Should kick people out that cannot respect others trying to sleep when its super late.

Pros:

The location to my daughter’s home was perfect, that’s why we chose it.

Cons:

Nothing I didn’t like, it’s a good location for what we needed. You would have to drive to the town of Golden so it wouldn’t be ideal
For some.
