Hotel Courtyard By Marriott Denver Golden/Red Rocks (Golden, USA)

This hotel is well located in Golden, just outside of Denver. Easy access to I-70 makes travel around the area a breeze. There's a large shopping complex nearby with plenty of food options. Guests recommend trying the Italian restaurant just across the street. If you're attending a concert at nearby Red Rocks Amphitheatre, this hotel is located perfectly.

Rooms have been recently updated and include a comfortable, modern style. They are well-maintained and come with nice beds for a comfy night's sleep. Call in advance to secure a room with a mini-fridge so you can store your snacks and drinks. Some rooms even have balconies with views of the Rocky Mountains.

The staff at this hotel are friendly, professional, and incredibly pleasant. Guests say the staff really make this hotel outstanding. You'll be greeted warmly and staff are always eager to do anything they can to help your stay run smoothly.

This hotel does not offer a complimentary breakfast. Instead, they have replaced the continental breakfast with a bistro where you have to purchase items, including what guests describe as overpriced sandwiches and pastries. They don't even offer complimentary coffee for guests.

Fitness geeks beware. The onsite gym is quite small, with only two treadmills and one elliptical, as well as some free weights. It's very limited and with marginal quality.

Guests say that if your hotel room faces the highway, you are likely to hear lots of traffic noise all throughout the day and night. Walls are a bit thin, so you may hear your neighbors as well. Bring a set of earplugs to be on the safe side.
