Oct 21, 2018 #### Great location and a lot of amenities I stayed for 2 nights. The room was very clean and had everything I needed. It was slightly smaller than I imagined based on the pictures online, but still a nice size. There were many amenities available (laundry, game room, fitness center, multiple hot tubs, pool). I didn't have time to utilize many of them but they were there for me if I chose to do so. WiFi is available for a fee. Overall a very nice place to stay, I would highly recommend it and will return here on my next visit to Colorado! ##### Emily V.
