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.

What a wonderful experience! Buzz button shots were so fun! We had a great time watching a broncos game at the bar here, everyone seems to know each other and the atmosphere is top notch. I can't wait to come back!

I had a terrible experience here. The bartenders were extremely rude, I stood at the bar attempting to order a drink for at least 15 minutes straight. The bartenders looked past me and completely ignored me and instead serviced other customers who arrived after us. Plus this place is super small and gets crowded very easily, would give this place 0 stars if I could.

Great place to hit up if you enjoy friendly and fast bar service. Industry night on Wednesdays is well worth the visit. Free pool and $5 you call it. Ask for Alex…he won’t disappoint. They also run food specials as well. Come on down if you like a solid neighborhood bar with professional bartenders and a chill vibe.
