Best Hotels near Southwest Gardens, Wheat Ridge

We have enjoyed the staff and the wonderful breakfast at the most excellent hotel in golden co

I travel with two kids and a dog so Motel 6 is a standby for me. Some are better than others. This one is TERRIBLE. We got our room then realized there were lots of sketchy people hanging around outside. A woman wandered over and asked MY SON for cigarettes. Then I saw what I can only presume to be **********s coming in - women in scanty skin tight dresses. I went to the office, they were inside, having long conversations with the desk clerk and were clearly well known. I do not judge these women - many are trafficked many just choose this lifestyle. I don’t want them parading around in front of my kids. Why isn’t Motel 6 doing more to stop trafficking of women and minors on their properties??? I go back to my room. It’s late. I’m tired. The door locks. I think we will be fine and just find a new place the next day. But oh no. This location is the gift that keeps giving. The bedding was grungy and stained. We are in a pandemic and the website says they are taking extra care to clean but the light switches had grime and dirt all over them. They clearly had not been cleaned in years. It’s okay though. I used cleaner I had in the car to spray the room down (with COVID, I planned to sanitize any room regardless of where we stayed. I brought our own linens for the same reason and put them on top of the beds and again thought, it’s late, I’m tired. It will be okay. Then we realized the sink will not drain at all. By then it was 10pm. We had unloaded the car. I wanted to sleep. By midnight people were pounding on our door and scared me awake. Ignored it. Went back to sleep. Again at 1am the same thing. I called the front desk. The agent was rude and HUNG UP ON ME. Just do not stay here. This Motel 6 goes on my “sh*ttiest dumps in America” list. Corporate Motel 6 - you are like the McDonald’s of road trips - reliably affordable, family and friendly and usually clean and safe. Stop allowing horrible locations like the one in Wheat Ridge, CO to exist. I only ask for a clean, safe bed so my expectations are “functional.” This place is NOT FUNCTIONAL.

Everybody has been really nice to us here so far. This is a great location with a hardware store on the property. There are a gas station, taco bell, and if you are here on vacation, they have an outdoor and ski equipment store, all right across the street. It is perfectly centered in between the beautiful Rocky mountains and the Mile High city of Denver Colorado. Everybody has been really nice to us here so far.

We stayed here last night with our adult children and their plus ones. The hotel is 30 minutes west of DEN and right off I-70. Our flight did not get in until 11:30 PM, so we arrived quite late. Arrival and check-in were seamless. Rooms very nice, with sink outside toilet and shower room - very convenient when sharing with another couple. Beds were VERY comfortable, temp easy to regulate, blackout curtains allowed us to sleep in, fridge and microwave, coffee in lobby. Breakfast was the usual waffles, yogurt, dry cereal, muffins with the added bonus of beautiful bakery bread sliced thick, scrambled eggs cooked perfectly and very tasty sausage!! I don't usually eat a lot for breakfast but did not resist. Coffee is Colombian and quite good, too. This is a keeper.

The hotel environment is good, the rooms are clean, the kitchen facilities are complete, the breakfast is acceptable, and parking is convenient.

We had two rooms for two nights and one room for three nights (one traveler went solo elsewhere). The staff was very nice and the rooms were modern and well-maintained. The parking was plentiful, but to find a space meant a five minute walk to an attached but distant lot. Nice lobby. No breakfast include. Overall, a good value.

The breakfasts in the United States are similar, especially the Holiday Inn. The hotel's breakfast is okay. The hot spring bath is very good, very comfortable, and the environment is very quiet. The cleaning is not very full, and I only changed my bath towels once during four days. Similarly, the waiter who cleaned the room didn't feel responsible, the front desk waiter was too good.

We are the older generation and stayed 2 reward nights. We liked this new cheerful budget Marriott property! Walk in shower with one grab bar on the far wall, shower floor clean and non-slip. Dispenser shampoo/conditioner never is my favorite, plus a Barbie-size bar soap and microtube of lotion. Bright or dim choice of room lighting, bedside lamps, opposite side of the room has a long worksurface under the windows with outlets at the bedside and under the workspace, could have used one more of the plastic chairs at this desk. Small square dorm fridge under the bathroom vanity is outside the toilet/shower combo closet sliding glass partition. No Microwave, 1 cup hotel coffee maker and a couple packets of coffee/tea, brews a lousy beverage, missed the microwave or keurig/nespresso to reheat, brew a decent cup of tea/coffee, but not a luxury hotel & there are a few snacks and a few beverages in a limited $ grab and go downstairs. There is a cafe/bar in the lobby that was packed with younger happy folks in the evenings so we moved through the lobby quickly because the time of the airborne plague has not yet passed and we are medically high risk. Everyone blissfully crowds onto the elevators. Liked our quiet 4th floor room windows facing the back grassy lot and swallows zooming. The beds get a B+, CLEAN but no one would consider the sheets luxurious, (maybe 180 count, surprisingly cheap in feel) mattress was meh good/average, husband didn’t get a backache from a too-soft mattress. The pillows were good. A/C worked great. The quality of the beds/pillows and cleanliness are the two deal-breakers for us. Really appreciated management giving us such a good room location even on points. Felt safe in the area & in the parking lot,( I mean, young folks party in the bar, no biggie) a cute area near hospitals, condos, with Arista Deli/Coffee/Breakfast/Treats (YUM) and Vinca, other cute restaurants with patios, walkable. We OK Boomers would not hesitate to stay again, but give us a decent cup of coffee/tea and an excellent bed and we’ll be more loyal. TIP: Takes a minute for the hot water to hit the shower…
