This was my third night trying to find a cheap hotel to stay in while visiting Colorado. The first two nights I payed more and got much less. (or more if you count the infection the second hotel gave me.) the first two nights I was shooting for rock-bottom price, tonight was about atmosphere. This place is straight out legit. Yeah the rooms dingy and the staff thought I had problems understanding English so she yelled everything (I'm white and she was Asian so I'm confused as to why that was a thing) Since I'm traveling alone my sense of adventure is way higher and this place doesn't disappoint. Living room fung shways into the kitchen beautifully. Separate bathroom with door for those super dookies and then a separate bedroom. It's basically a small apartment. Plus there is a hallway that goes to know where so.... That's pretty rad. Overall it is dingy and needs a deep cleaning blah blah. No bedbugs price is fair (65ish) or rather FIFTY NINE DOLLARS PLUS TAX (cause she yelled it.) then handed me bills back and no change. I didn't actually count. Or care. I was too hype. TV is a box with comcast cable. Which.... If you still watch cable put your phone in a blender you aren't about that life. Seriously.... Why aren't you streaming ala carte, some of the greatest shows, series, movies etc have spawned from streaming companies. Cut the cord already. I digress. Furniture is old blah blah blah same thing you read about every 4.5 star hotel or lower. Here's the deal. It's cheap. Of you are alone and don't mind living dangerously or if you have kids and don't really care about them a whole lot.... Get a room. Live a little and for real. Cut the cord grandpa. Everyone is laughing at you.

I love this little home away from home! It's like a little warm cabin in the winter and a cool shady cottage in the summer. These are extremely private and sound proof! Although wish they had monthly pricing.
