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.

Great for little kids. There were many families having picnics and parties at the park.

Park was fantastic. Super nice. Super clean. WARNING!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But be on the look out for two guys casing the park taking pictures and trying to snatch kids. I had to chase two guys out of the park today for coming up on mh toddlers and taking pictures and potentially grabbing one or both. I couldn't get a picture because I left my phone with the second mom while I ran them out of the park screaming and yelling to get as much attention as possible. Police report was made and they fled. Be safe out there and protect your kiddos.

Amazing playground! Definitely worth the 30 minute drive to get here! Tiny trampolines are a plus! With an epic hill to sled down on snow days. Definitely our favorite playground so far

Not just one of the best playgrounds in Denver, but one of the best playgrounds we've found anywhere. The variety of equipment and terrain is awesome, with gentle hills, huge climbing boulders, a zipline, swings, in-ground trampolines, and on and on and on. There's a big splash pad with tons of seating for parents. Bathrooms are nearby but not in great shape, and some of the water features on the playground were already broken, but other than that everything was in nice shape. We spent a few hours here!
