Property itself and the staff were lovely. Just the area around is not very scenic as it’s in an industrial part of Golden.

We had a very comfortable stay in a picturesque setting of this lovely and unique hotel. I liked the idea of pin entry and the breakfast and hot drinks bar 24/7. I would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful Lobby- Lodge like :) Nice tea & coffee area. Easy parking , smaller hotel . Nice views.
Only improvement would be that the walls are thin - heard our loud talking neighbors.

Golden stay
Nice exterior and great location. Liked the coffee/ tea in the lobby and fridge in the room. Overall it was nice for a couple of nights but we did not feel like we got the value of the price paid, and there was an odd smell at the entrance. Rarely saw staff and walls are thin.

Views were amazing from the lodge. Staff were freindly and rooms were clean. There was a nice sitting area by the fireplace in the lobby. They also had a complimentary coffee/tea station and instant oatmeal, which was nice. Only 4/5 just due to the building being a bit older and not well insulated between rooms so could definitely hear neighbors and rooms upstairs if you were on the first floor.
