Bathtub in the Aspen Suite
Rachel B.

We recently came here for a mini "staycation" and fell in love with the place. The details are really what makes this place so unique. They did a great job remembering the age of the house and keeping true to that. You can see all sorts of cool antiques throughout. The whole process of checking in is completely automated which makes it super convenient. You get a code to the front door and your room so when you get there you can just go straight up to your room. My favorite part was easily the bathtub! Not all of the rooms have bathtubs so make sure the one you're staying in has one and I promise you won't be disappointed. The location is also perfect. You're right in the heart of historic downtown Golden and can walk to tons of restaurants and shopping.

My wife and I enjoyed every moment at Dove Inn, which I'll describe as Victorian charm meets contemporary style and convenience. Every little detail of the Dove Inn is carefully thought through incl. the booking, breakfast logistics, and the "make your own" coffee station off the kitchen, which had a "how to" video and three different freshly roasted coffee bean selections. I've never made my own coffee from scratch before, but I did at the Dove Inn and it was pretty cool. Additionally, the Dove Inn's location is half a block from Golden's main downtown strip (Washington Ave) and across the street from a lovely Thai restaurant that my wife and I adored, Thai Gold. The best words to describe Dove Inn are "boutique", "one-of-a-kind", and "charming." My wife and I will be back.

My fiancé and I really enjoyed our stay! It's was such a seamless and welcoming check-in and check-out. Access to the kitchen really made the place feel like home. We LOVED the deep, soaking, stand-alone tub! The chase/couch was extremely comfy and the bath towels by Comphy were superb. It's also very conveniently located. Our recommendations: Softer tissue and updated carpet would help. Aside from that, a superb experience!

Serenity Suite bath tub, complete with a complimentary Spinster Sisters bath bomb! Each night!

Where to begin...? We LOVED our stay at the Dove Inn! I've stayed at many bed and breakfasts over the years, and I can honestly say that staying here tops the list of my fav b&bs! I loved the keyless entry concept. When our room was ready, we received a text and an email with a code to the front door, as well as a code to our room. Such an easy process! Upon entering, our room looked and smelled fresh and clean. The decor was spot on with the vibe of the inn. My bf and I were thrilled with our room, and we kept commenting on how much we want to have a bathroom like the one in the Serenity Suite! The toiletry items provided felt of high quality, and I was very excited about the complimentary bath bomb placed near the bathtub! (I used to work in an all-natural bath and soap store, and this bath bomb was LEGIT.) The bed was soooo comfy, and the sheets were so soft! The Serenity Suite is at the back of the inn, so it was incredibly quiet and peaceful... Just what we were looking for! The breakfast downstairs is self-serve, which is nice in a sense that you don't HAVE to be downstairs at a certain time. There's yogurt, granola, almond milk and such in the fridge, and you can make yourself some toast and jam or almond butter. My bf is a coffee connoisseur, so he was pumped about all the coffee options available to make. I was all about the tea. Plus, there's cold brew and kombucha on tap. Also, there are pastries on the counter that are provided by Cafe 13, a local spot around the corner from the inn. (The apple cinnamon one is delicious!) The only tricky part is the parking, but it is what it is for the location, haha! There's 2 hour parking out front and free parking on 14th St between Ford and Jackson, I think. Also, there's a parking garage around the corner on Jackson. All in all, we were VERY happy with our stay! Before we left we were even talking about how we can't wait to stay there again! I'll miss everything about this place...til next time, Dove Inn!

I absolutely love this boutique inn! It was so easy to self-check in and out. The lobby is so homey and they have everything you need to make coffee, tea or to have a snack. We stayed in the Queen Anne Suite. I love how it is decorated and that there is a comfy couch where you could relax and read. On top of all this, Dove Inn is located in the heart of Golden. There are so many great restaurants and bars to walk to. The creek is so pretty and is so fun to walk/bike/tube around there. It's also a great location to drive to red rocks or Denver! I highly recommend it.

Such a cozy and amazing place! The location can't be beat. We were able to walk through the restaurants and shops conveniently in downtown Golden, and it was a very short walk back to the inn. Our room - the Shakespeare Room - was accessed on the outside of the main house and included a cute patio with table. The main house has a community kitchen that was super clean and stocked with waters, yogurts, juice, cold brew, and you can grind your own coffee. The door locks are automated - you get your door code and the main house door code emailed to you prior to arrival. It made everything very easy and simple. We would definitely stay here again.

I will never not stay here when I'm visiting Golden. The MOST gracious owners and staff, generous kitchen offerings (like, kombucha draft and fresh fruits and cheeses available to you all of the time) and beautiful rooms and furnishings. It's literally at the center of all of Golden, so no need to drive anywhere. Sigh, take me back. I hereby submit my proposal for the Fosters to adopt me and let me live in the Serenity Room.

The perfect spot for our small wedding! We feel very fortunate to have stumbled upon The Dove Inn. Ashley was most helpful. She gave us a tour of the facilities and each room. The kitchen is top notch and the fireplace in the living room made for a great altar. Renting the entire inn for the night was an easy decision and it worked out beautifully for our friends and family. Everyone raved about their rooms and the proximity to our dinner spot downtown was super convenient. Thank you for helping to make our wedding awesome!

I'm a Denver resident who has been to Golden many times but I don't feel like I'd truly "been" to Golden until my staycation at The Dove Inn. The keyless entry made me feel right at home and the proximity to downtown Golden lit my extroverted, wanderlusty heart right up! The decor, atmosphere and attention to detail coupled with the intimacy/coziness set this boutique hotel apart for me. I was completely charmed by my short stay and definitely plan to escape here more often.

I wanted to surprise my wife with a special trip for our 10th anniversary. After lots of searching I came upon the Dove Inn in Golden. Its ratings were very high, and I had luckily began my planning months ahead, so I had my choice of rooms. Since it was a very special anniversary, I opted for the nicest room they had: The Aspen Suite. It's a large room with a decent bathroom that included a jacuzzi tub in the room. The innkeeper at the time, Elizabeth, was very knowledgeable about the home's storied history and sat with us a few times and talked about various parts of how she had found the home and the restoration she'd done. It's my understanding there are new innkeepers that took over shortly after our departure. Can't wait to see what they do since it looks like there is a lot of construction going on. The breakfasts were really great for our two night stay. The first breakfast was a french toast, and the second one was a egg casserole with potatoes inside. It wasn't trying to be too fancy, and it was just right. One of the best breakfasts we've had at a B and B. There were small refrigerators throughout where you could store snacks and leftovers. There are always snacks downstairs too, like homemade cookies, or candy bars. The stairs to the second floor are quite steep, but that's part of the charm. We did get a chance to wander through the other rooms before the evening of our second night, and they are all quite cute and have their own charm. The location is quite nice, just on the outskirts of town, and within walking distance to everything. That's part of the charm here. Parking is on street, but it's not too difficult to find a spot, and if you want, wait until the evening then you can park even closer.

I've stayed at boutique inns all around the world, and the Dove Inn is absolutely one of my favorites! Located just a couple blocks from the shops and restaurants of downtown Golden, the inn is charming, comfortable, and stylish. It was recently remodeled to incorporate modern amenities (I loved the sleek kitchen, as well as the nitro cold brew and kombucha on tap!!) while still retaining a classic Victorian feel through eclectic antiques. But it's the little details that truly made the Dove Inn feel like home. The freestanding soaking tubs (and lavender bath bombs!), fresh macaroons and chocolates, and design elements like rustic shiplap, Edison bulbs, and subway tile felt luxurious. Also, there's WiFi and TVs outfitted with Rokus, so you have enough creature comforts to want to kick back and stay awhile. In fact, my husband and I loved our visit so much that we returned to celebrate our anniversary! If you're planning to visit Golden, or if you just want a quick getaway, I highly recommend the Dove Inn! We can't wait to return a third time!

We had been to Golden in the past but never stayed there. We wanted to stay in downtown Golden as we were also going to attend a concert the same night at the Buffalo Rose. The Table Mountain Inn is literally a couple of blocks away so it was an easy choice. The hotel is decorated in a Southwest motif. We stayed in the Navajo Junior Suite which was quite large and included an outdoor balcony and a gas fireplace. From the balcony we had a nice view of Table Mountain and the Coors brewing factory which was amusing as Coors Light is my husband's favorite beer. While it was very warm, we didn't use the fireplace but it is a nice feature, especially if you stayed in winter months. The room was clean and comfortable and well appointed. There were 2 TV's. One in the living room and one in the bedroom which was nice. All staff we encountered were very friendly and wished us "Happy Anniversary."

The puree didn't really ever mix into the prosecco so it was still there at the bottom. I would probably make a different selection next time. This is a really nice bar space. The chairs have cow hide on the backs. The bartenders were engaging.

Or, for the adventurous, Gab will spend time with you jumping on the trampoline or you can take a unicycle lesson from her sister Anna. When the weather permits, meals are taken on the back deck with stunning views of foothills to the west. The chef, D'Gaw (French i think) was creative in his use of the smoker and grill.

My one area of constructive criticism would be recommending that the venue provide a clearer timeline to the couples getting married. I typed my own up based on our meetings but the venue stated they'd send it a few times and never got around to it. Otherwise, I can't say enough WONDERFUL things about this spot. Hospitality is their jam. The rentable items like the arch and photo booth, the in-house decorations, and the food options are positively stunning. The staff is phenomenal, the on-site honeymoon suite was so clean and comfortable, and there was lots of space for kids to run around. An amazing AMAZING spot to make memories and start your married life with your partner off right!

About after after checking in we realize there was no hot water in our room. When I had called the front desk, they said they would reach out to maintenance and a manager and call back. He called back within 15 minutes stating they did not have a manager or maintenance on the property and I would have to discuss the issue tomorrow when a manager is on site. Keep in mind again this is memorial weekend. I asked for a refund because the facility was not up to standards, he stated I could get a refund but had to go through manager. So as we check out Sunday, I asked for a manager they stated there is no manager on site. The manager will be there later in the day And they will call me. Never heard from a manager Monday came and went. Tuesday came and went Wednesday morning. I called the facility to speak with a manager. The manager I spoke with was unprofessional, rude, and never apologize for the inconvenience of their facility, not having hot water. She lied and said they had a manager on site all weekend, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday yet when I went down to talk with the manager Saturday There was no manager To get a hold of. I reported them to the local health department on Wednesday morning because I had not gotten my refund issued and the problem also was not fixed during our stay from Saturday to Sunday. And asked for a manager to contact me by end of day. Never heard from anybody/forward to Friday almost a week since our stay I spoke with the general manager at this property where he stated because I reported them to the health department and did not give them time to fix the problem. He would not be giving me a full refund but 20%.. When I asked wait, we are being penalized for reporting you to the health department because you did not have a Maintenance or manager on site during a busy memorial weekend and did not have hot water at your facility. I'm not getting my full refund. Can you make that makes sense. He said and I quote " 20% is what you can get take it or leave it". It's unfortunate that the problem the facility had couldn't be fixed due to lack of employees on a holiday weekend. Unprofessional would never recommend staying here again will definitely be letting the community know not to stay here or book with them. It could've went so much smoother by him just submitting my refund and fixing the problem but instead he wanted to blame me for their facility problem. Be AWARE WHEN BOOKING. I winded up going through my bank to get my refund. But truly would not recommend this location. And if they didn't have hot water in the hotel room, not sure if they would have hot water downstairs where they're serving food to customers for their continental breakfast.
