The Golden Hotel, Ascend Hotel Collection

Great stay. Best location. If you want a true western experience, you can’t beat this place. Great service.

The room was clean. The restaurant was under construction, so there was some noise related to the construction activities, but I was given a room upgrade for my inconvenience.

Excellent stay. Ate dinner in the restaurant. Wonderful meal and service . The only disappointment was that the restaurant does not open until 8 am. I needed to leave before then and I’d plan to eat a nice breakfast in the restaurant that morning. Great hotel, very friendly staff.

Lodge-type atmosphere. With a second story room, you don't even need to take an elevator. Nice gym.

Excellent room-Clean and so spacious! Great location to walk to many cool destinations

Staff was incredibly friendly, informative, and efficient! Room was wonderful and restaurant was great, especially as there were many vegetarian items that were truly delicious.

The staff was great! Room was clean. Great location in downtown Golden.

Room was nice and clean. The staff at the bar/restaurant were great. They were nice and attentive. Loved having fresh water with fruit available in the lobby.

I can’t believe I paid $475 for one night at this hotel. There is nothing about it that justifies that price. Pros * Nice views upon request * Mountain decor * Inviting lobby * Free parking * Perfect location for walking around downtown Golden * Two ways to control your climate in the room * USB charging ports * Gym is nicely equipped. I found everything I needed. But it is very cramped and a pin was missing from the weight machine. I thought about telling the front desk so they could replace it but at this point I was tired of dealing with them. Cons * Mini fridges in rooms don’t have freezer sections but front desk will put your ice packs etc in their freezer for you * No valet or bell hop so plan to schlep your own stuff. Not sure if they even have luggage carts. * I couldn’t find the Wi-Fi information anywhere so I had to go back down to the front desk. * Bed was too hard and stiff. I woke up sore. * Bar was closed for a private event * TV only showed hotel info. When I selected the guide to see what was playing it reverted back to the hotel info. The next morning I let them know so they could fix it for the next guest. The girl at the front desk proceeded to tell me what I was doing wrong. I was supposed to press a random number on the remote to bring up the channel guide. Really? Who would know that? I suggested they communicate this to guests. She sarcastically said she would as if I were the most annoying person on the planet.
