Comfortable, quiet stay near CSU
Pros:

Friendly helpful staff, including food & Bev and housekeeping.
Quieter location
Good breakfast
I also liked that they don’t bother with the in room coffee maker. There is always coffee available in the lobby. Especially when you never feel certain that the machine is clean.

Cons:

HVAC was not consistent in both rooms. One had a digital panel and the other room had manual. And for some reason it was always wet on the floor by the ice machine. ??

It was still better than average.
Pros:

It was tucked away off the main road. Good parking. Lots of restaurants nearby. Quiet.

Cons:

We asked for a disability room hoping it would be a shower with a bench seat. The room had a bathtub. We had to call down to the front desk to figure out how to work the shower. It was something we had never seen. Staff should have explained how it worked when we checked in. The hair dryer also did not work, but the staff replaced it quickly.

Recibieron mis paquetes de compras, 5 estrellas
Pros:

El ingreso fue muy cómodo al igual que el parqueo, las habitaciones bien limpias y me gustó el hecho que puedan recibir mis paquetes que pedí por amazon. Se pasaron, volvería definitivamente

Decent hotel, but not very sound proof. Pool needs cleaning.
Pros:

Beds and pillows were super comfortable, slept very good in terms of comfort. Absolutely loved the hot tub. Price was fair and staff were super friendly. Location was nice as well, and I loved the breakfast.

Cons:

Pool wasn't very clean and way too warm given the season. Walls were not very sound proof, got woken up twice both nights by the people upstairs and next door banging and stomping. That was the first time I've ever had that issue in a hotel. Room was super dry, my wife got pretty sick from it since she has bad lungs. Would have liked more toilet paper in the room as well, we were given the bare minimum. Overall, I preferred the Holiday Inn Express in Deadwood, SD more than this one.

Holiday Inn Express is a reasonably-priced, decent hotel to stay in for trips.
Pros:

This hotel sufficed for the one-night stay needed for my trip. It was clean and met my expectations.
