How this is written: we run the full set of recent Google reviews through AI to pull out what guests consistently say — including the complaints, which is why there's a downsides list rather than only the good bits. It's rewritten as new reviews come in, so it describes the hotel as it is now, not as it was whenever someone last got round to writing a paragraph about it. Read the reviews yourself on Google Maps.

Lovely drive up the mountain, each turn was a stunning view. On a clear day one might see four states. Mounted, coin-operated binoculars to see specific interests. Great way to see Golden and Denver!

Very beautiful scenic view!!! Great place to see a few cities that have situated theirselves at and around these mountains and got to see Buffalo Bill's final resting place!! Really nice and high up there with the clouds. If ur scared of heights; u might not go to the very top bc roads are very winding and steep and do not have guard rails on the other side!!
