Liked: Cleanliness
The room was average, beds were decent, and it was quiet. The toddler eye level microwave was inconvenient and a problem with our toddler and would be better suited on a mounted shelf. The closet door is a giant mirror and it’s very pretty loud when you open and shut it. The staff seemed vaguely annoyed when you spoke to them and they weren’t very welcoming but they were always available when you needed something. The elevator is sketchy as hell. It makes weird noises and jerks which made us uneasy whenever we used it. The breakfast was edible-ish. Eggs were legitimate rubber but cereal came to save the day and the coffee wasn’t bad. Overall not terrible, not great. Great for a weekend stay.

The afternoon manager gave a good effort!

We had a great stay for one night. The room was clean, hotel was quiet, beds were comfortable, check n was fast and easy, and the free continental breakfast was good. The free parking was appreciated. The hotel's location was a little odd near the intersection of busy streets, and across the parking lot from a pot shop.

Very comfortable clean room. Close to everything. Staff cordial and pleasant. Only thing I would fix is the tub/shower. It needs a shower mat or something that keeps you from slipping. The tub is just a slick service

The hotel was nice and clean and was very convenient to the locations we were visiting. Breakfast buffet offered many yummy options. We booked a room with a pullout couch for teenager. The only negative was that once the bed was pulled out, it blocked the walk to the bathroom so other guests would have to climb over the bed in the middle of the night to access the restroom. The couch could easily be moved to a different wall and the problem solved. Management should review the room layout and make the easy adjustment to make room completely family friendly.

Nice, but uncomfortable

Nice place, close to Red Rocks, friendly employees, but beds were much stiffer than I expected for Holiday Inn Express. Would have stayed another night, but slept horribly, so changed hotels the next night.
