The motel was so poor after checking the room we decided not to stay there even though we had paid for it.
It was dirty and run down

Great price and an easy location from Highway. Clean and everything worked!
No bad things here, budget facility at a budget price. Would have preferred better pillows as with all motels never firm enough or sufficient quantity.

We very much appreciated the breakfast included (fresh muffins, cereal, juice, coffee,tea). You don't normally get that in motels. The location is practical and the facilities were very clean and tidy.
There was a noisy machine somewhere near the room (air con? Ventilation?) that was a bit bothersome. Also pillows were a bit hard. *However* I don't understand the reviews rating of 6 for this motel, it should be higher, 7-7.5 to be fair!

The room was pretty good. We forgot our stuff in the hotel and they packed that in a proper way when we returned to pick up that next day the staff was properly handled and packed. I really appreciated this.
Everything was good

Location availability and price. .
The dead bolt lock was missing, and there was no u lock or other manual lock on the inside of the door. Only a key door nob. Felt unsafe.

Great location.
This place was virtually empty the night I stayed here. The manager puts some people with two large dogs in the room right above me. They could have been placed anywhere in the hotel, but no, they had to be put there. Now they are going in and out of the room, slamming doors, the dogs are barking at everything, and one of them fell asleep and was snoring so loud it woke me up. I had to be up at 4 am and was extremely upset that I couldn't get a good night sleep. Perhaps some consideration of the guests already placed would go a long way.....

Late staff walked to let me in through snow and cold after big snowfall.. I liked that the best.
I liked parking within 3 M of my room.
No eletrical plug in bathroom.
Tub is too slippery to use. I have a new hip, and wouldn't risk it.
Tiny soaps are too tiny. Really? Pay the extra 2 cents.
Electrical outlet by bed is 70 years old and no longer holds a plug.
No bidet attachment on toilet. They are 50 bucks. Do us all a favour!

The staff were great and answered all my questions. They even recommended a great Sushi restaurant that was only a few minutes walking distance.
Everything was fine, but the advertised basic breakfast was not available.

When we checked in, we were assigned a room on the second floor. We asked if there was a room on the first floor and they honoured our request.
No breakfast included due to Covid restrictions we were told.

It was located in Golden and seemed like a good value for the price.
The carpet was so dirty there were lumps in it.
One line and on the main sign going in, it said free breakfast, hot tub and BBQ available. None of those things we actually the case.
