Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: We were traveling to Colorado with our dog ( he’s a 35 pound lab mix) so we needed a pet friendly hotel . This was perfect - we had a nice quiet room on the end and lots of space to walk him outside. He loved it! We never had to leave the hotel because they have a cute bar/ restaurant with a game room that was just what we needed. The bartender was so nice and our dinners were good- especially the milkshakes! Front desk staff was professional and accommodating.

Negative: It has been rehabbed from the 60’s and is still slightly dated but the charm it has makes up for it. Cool midcentury vibe !

Summary: Mid Century Cool , Milkshakes & Music
