Best for
This hotel suits budget-conscious travelers and road-trippers who need a straightforward, no-frills base near I-225 with practical extras like a microwave, mini-fridge, and coffeemaker in every room.

Travel tips
Since the hotel sits off I-225, having a car is the most practical way to reach both nearby Aurora sites and the Denver attractions, which range from about 6 km to 17 km away. Guests planning to visit downtown Denver landmarks like Coors Field, Larimer Square, or the Denver Art Museum should budget extra drive time given the distance. Some reviewers have noted homeless activity around the property, so it's worth being aware of surroundings, particularly after dark.
What guests say
Guest feedback is mixed. Some reviewers praise friendly, helpful management and enjoyed the adjacent restaurant, while others describe the property as dingy and in need of repair despite rooms being clean and beds being comfortable. A recurring concern among reviewers is the presence of homeless individuals congregating around the hotel, which some guests found unsettling. Overall, the hotel appears to deliver on basic cleanliness and service for some, while others flag wear-and-tear and neighborhood safety as drawbacks.
