The hotel was older, but clean. My grandkids would have loved the dinosaur theme. Great hot breakfast. Only negative was the bed was soft and that's a personal preference.

Wonderful stay! The kids loved the dinosaur theme, touring the hotel's murals, digging in the sandbox for bones, and hanging out at the heated pool and hot tub area (complete with dinosaur floaties). Breakfast was fantastic and the service staff are absolute rock stars. Only cons: beds and pillows were quite firm, which was hard on my partner and I, and the no late checkout policy was a bummer when planning the rest of our day with kiddos. Overall, very hard to find this much value in a hotel stay these days at an even remotely affordable price. We will be returning soon!

Everything was great other than housekeeping waking up myself and kids at 8 o’clock.

I wouldn't say it was a bad stay. The hotel was a last minute booking close to a wedding reception I was attending. The hotel location was convenient. It's in an older neighborhood, right off the highway. I didn't feel unsafe. The decor has a dinosaur theme throughout. I could see where this would be a good place for families with young children. The young man at the front counter was helpful and polite. The room was definately dated, but seemed clean enough. Our bed was not comfortable, and there weren't any outlets to plug my phone in on my side of the bed. Overall, it wasn't a bad stay, and for the price, their breakfast is probably the best inclusive breakfast I've ever had at any hotel.

This place is a hidden gem for sure! Friendly staff, clean and comfortable rooms, an awesome pool/hot tub with pool toys, plus a lawn game area on the outdoor patio. The complimentary breakfast was outstanding, featuring hot meals that were different each morning in addition to what you would expect from a typical continental breakfast. The dinosaur theme was really fun too. No lie, this was one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed in. It is on the older side and there is no elevator to get to the second floor, but everything was spotless and well maintained. The only hiccup we had was that there was only one working ice machine that was being heavily used so we were unable to get ice the first night of our stay. Other than that, everything was superb! Highly recommended staying here especially if you have kids.

Great hotel for families -- dinosaur theme with fossils and dinosaur bones!! Free info session on dinosaurs! Great FREE hot breakfast -- eggs, bacon or ham, potatoes, made-to-order waffles. Plus cereal, fruit, etc. Rooms are basic -- no fridge or microwave. Room I was in had a tiny bathroom with toilet and shower in bathroom, sink in main room. No elevator, but only two floors so manageable. QUIET -- knew there were guests on either side of me but never heard any noise. Ice machine did not work and we had hot days so this was a bummer. Snacks/drinks for sale at very reasonable prices. Great staff -- everyone was friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay here again when in town!!!

Love, love, Loved it! We here stayed with my grandson for a family reunion. He loved the dinosaur theme and the very well stocked breakfast bar. It was hard to get him out of the pool which is completely surrounded by the hotel and very well maintained. Will stay at this hotel next time we're in Denver

This hotel is very kid friendly. The outdoor heated pool is zero entry, with hot tub. Works for all ages. Bathroom are small. A full complimentary breakfast changes daily very good.

We were staying there for four nights visiting family. The 3rd night the phone rang around 8:45-9:00. I tried to answer but it was dead. It happened again. Then a woman from the hotel knocked on my door and said we hadn’t left a credit card on file for incidentals(??) and wanted me to do it right then. I was in my pajamas and said no, but we would do it in the morning, which we did. Then our last day, we were gone all day and when we returned our room wasn’t made up. It was late so I stopped by the front desk to get coffee for the morning. I told them our room hadn’t been made up. He said we had to ask housekeeping if we wanted our room done, even though we hadn’t done this the other 3 days and our room was made up, and we hadn’t been told at check in. They had a sign up advertising a restaurant and lounge open Monday-Saturday 4-7 pm, but there wasn’t one.
