The location of this hotel is great! In the center of downtown Golden, CO and within walking distance to many shops, restaurants, breweries and the river walk just behind the hotel. The hotel was undergoing construction during our stay which wasn't ideal. There was noise outside on the street during the night which woke us up on several occasions so you may want to request a room facing the back of the hotel. (riverside)
