Perhaps I am a bit bitter because I had a first-floor room with a very high price tag (CAA rate was $190 incl. taxes for a basic king room), but Best Westerns will no longer be among my top three choices for budget business travel.

Pros:
loved the leather couch
great bed
spacious room
good toiletries

Cons:
indifferent staff
no comp breakfast
no newspapers onsite
seemed overpriced by 80%
worn furniture
bland lobby
boring people

Vastly overpriced compared to other area motels. Breakfast not included, unlike other area motels. The room was dingy and clearly had not been vacuumed as I stepped on the lid of a cosmetics bottle sitting in the centre of the floor. No shampoo or soap was in the room when we checked in. On lamp only worked by using the socket (the switch was broken, stuck to "on") and another had a burnt out bulb. The AC did not work, but at least the fan did. Clearly this place is a profit gold mine for the owners, who overcharge and provide little in exchange. The check-in clerk was gruff and unfriendly, but at least the chambermaids were nice.

Big comfortable rooms we stayed a Saturday on a long weekend and they didn t raise the prices on the contrary they also gave us 10% of because we were CAA members so it was actually a good deal. Breakfast in the lobby out of little cafe thought it would be ordinary but to our surprise the young lady serving us was super and she made a mean omellette and great coffee..more than expected.

This was our first stay in Golden. The hotel was quiet (considering how close to the highway it is) and the rooms were big but nothing exciting. There is a pool which my kids appreciated but no hot tub :( Breakfast is not included. It was an okay place to stay as a pit stop but I would not recommend this as a place to stay over an extended period of time. Surprizingly pricey for what we got.
