So, I booked a hotel on a website that doesn't tell you the hotel until after you pay. I wanted a safe, cheap place close to the Denver Airport. However, I paid for a room at ended up being this place and I didn't even spend the entire night...I'll explain...
Before you even get to this hotel, you see a sign warning you that a correctional facility is nearby and not to pick up hitchhikers. The hotel has all exterior corridors and very seedy looking people hang out in the parking lot. Whether they are actually staying there, who knows. It appears to be a flop house for people who have been kicked out of their apartments or just released from the jail down the street. In the lobby, the clerk checked me in but then proceeded to tell the entire, packed with creepy people lobby my room number and how to get to my room. First of all, you are never to announce a room number, but the calibre of people in the lobby made me fearful and I have traveled in some sketchy areas...My room was located on the ground floor, in a section of the hotel that faced away from the main area. Also, another unsafe situation as far as I was concerned.
The room was supposed to be a queen but that bed was at most a full (although it looked like a fat twin). The smell in the room was burnt food and an overpowering air freshener stench. There was a very small kitchette along the back wall with a sink, fridge, microwave and a two-burner cooktop. The bath had only a shower. Aside from a small table and a TV stand, there was no other furniture in the room. It was grim and felt very unsafe. I tried to get comfortable but failed miserably. Finally, around 10pm, I left, forfeiting my night's stay and went to stay somewhere else where I felt safe and in a clean room. I would NOT recommend this hotel under any circumstances.
