No one was at the front desk to greet when I walked in. I had to find a person to talk to. The woman’s bathroom in the lobby had actual poop on the floor, toilet paper, and lots of hair. It was disgusting. I walked right out. If this is how their standard is as soon as you walk in, I can’t imagine what the rest of the experience would be like.

Very noisy from the gas station and the doors in the hallway. Good luck sleeping if you have inconsiderate neighbors. Customer service wouldn't help or reimburse either

The hottub is absolutely atrocious. Apparently it was just refreshed in the last couple days... luckily my buddy is a ninja, and knew how to kick this "thing" out of there.

hot tub wasn't working (which they lied about over the phone) which is the only reason i went for the hotel instead of a hostel. They offered me a discount but then couldn't process it so... The room also wasn't super clean. They needed to wipe down some stuff there crumbs all over the place. Some positives the breakfast was decent, the room was decent size, bed was comfy. The location isn't perfect but is okay Golden's small if you're driving. I might stay here again, but like i said the hot tub not working was a complete let down.

Our family of four stayed here for our Canadian Rockies vacation in order to save money compared to Banff. We were happy with our stay. The breakfast was nice.
