I pulled into a gas station and started to have a panic attack. This hotel looked really appealing, and honestly it was the first one I clicked on, so I immediately booked two queen bed room. It was a 5 minute drive in the insane torrential downpour, but we made it. Although I was a little confused about the contactless check in, the amenities were excellent, nice clean beds, several AC units, fans, heaters, a nice loveseat with a comfy chair facing the TV. I was also informed that it is local and family owned. This hotel was such a nice reprieve from the insanity of our drive. Absolutely, positively worth every cent. Definitely consider this over a corporate owned hotel. All that's left to say is, thank you!

They both are professional,yet you almost want to have a glass of wine with them. The massages were absolutely relaxing and healing. We went downstairs to continue our mineral pool and private hot springs bath. Aspen, who is such a sweetheart, is the front person that greeted us, spent time explaining everything like we were the only ones there (long line behind us). It was such a neat experience. The hot spring bath was really nice because there is a nice shower in the room so you can shower, be fresh for your day. Overall, I would definitely return if back in Colorado. Mahalo!

We stopped by while visiting Idaho Springs. We are from California and we were hoping to get on the…read morenew tram in town to see the views. But due to fires the skies were smoky and hazy. Then out of nowhere where the weather flipped from 90 degrees and sunny/hazy to cold, rain and thunderstorms! What surprised me the most was how much rain dumped from the sky and cold it was out. I was almost completely drenched from rain and wearing Jean shorts. I was freezing and wet. My daughter and husband were soaked too but somehow neither of them get cold.. anyway I found Indian Hot Springs and begged my family to go so I could hop in a hot tub and get warm. My husband skipped the pool and got a message they had a last minute opening and my daughter and I went swimming in the springs. It's was perfect. Not too hot not too cold. Perfect activity to do on a surprise rainy day. They provided towels and even had a gift shop to buy swim suits if u didn't bring one. There was soft music playing and it made for a very chill and relaxing vibe. It was so nice floating in a hot spring while listening to the rain drops on the roof and soft thundering. Literally the most perfect solution to a rainy day. My husband enjoyed his massage and everyone was happy. They saved the day!

Clean rooms, indoor rooftop pool and hot tub... great service from all the staff and employees…read more Resort fee is $25/room per day but parking is free and the rooms are spacious. Really love the bathrooms with dual sinks and the water pressure was really good in the showers. The bed was a little lumpy in the rooms we were in and the bed itself was very soft... There were some knicks and marks in the rooms too so I think they might need a little refresh soon. The mattresses in the rooms we were in really needed to be replaced. Good location and easily walkable to main street. Very easy access to get into the parking from the HWY and they have a Starbucks inside the property. Overall we had a great stay and will consider to stay again when we're in Black Hawk.

Some pros and cons from our stay (room 1014): PROS: - the promo included lowest room rate and $20 dining credit per day. A genuinely good deal for the price - the restaurant offers on site are pretty decent, varied, and reasonably priced for BH - staff was 50/50. Literally half were welcoming, knowledgeable and friendly, while the other half was borderline rude or incompetent - the amenities were a nice perk, including a rooftop pool, and two hot tubs (1 indoor 1 outdoor) - the room and bathroom were very spacious with both a shower AND a garden tub - there were public restrooms available in the hallway - the casino floor feels spacious and there is a good variety of slot machines and table games CONS: - Communication in general is very lacking: When we walked into our room there was no literature to showcase on site dining options, WiFi password, or amenities' hours/logistics. The room service menu is not available in the Penn app nor is much information provided about one's stay. We finally found a brochure at the front desk when we went to inquire about where to find a "do not disturb" hang tag (the app live chat was useless for any room information). Room service is upon request only, that info is also not available unless asking a front desk attendant. I requested a Penn play card for gambling, the attendant did not explain how to use it, so it took us two days to realize the card must be inserted in the slots the entire time you play to track usage. You can remove it only AFTER you cash out. - It's extremely frustrating to use the Penn play cards at the machines. We had to constantly try again and again as most readers do not see a card has been inserted. Some machines we completely gave up on... - The room was TIRED (both beds had mattresses which sunk from damage/overuse, both headboards had peeling faux leather behind the pillows, there was random scotch tape on the walls and some holes/dings, the toilet's door jam was coming loose from the wall, bathroom was not extremely clean (heavy dust coating on baseboards, hair on bathroom counter, etc) - Of of 6 elevators to the tower: 4 had broken LCD screens (making it difficult to determine at which level the car would stop), 2 made very concerning cable car noises (we begun avoiding them), all 6 were unsecured (guest key card access on cars was disabled; letting ANY casino patrons access the room floors) - the pool deck has posted adults only hours (daily 7-11pm) however, despite various staff walk through a dozen children were still splashing about at 8:30pm on Friday night - the vending machine on the pool deck was out of service and drinks ordered poolside through the QR code available on tables was not delivered to the pool deck (despite note of location in order) - the ice machine on floor 10 was out of order and no microwave was available in the rooms (or in the vending room) making it impossible to get takeout if one got tired of in house options. A microwave in the vending room would be a great addition - ambient music in the casino was great mid-week throughout until on Friday night at around 8pm it was set to blast and was along with the ambient slots noise it was no longer enjoyable. We left the floor shortly after - wait staff on the casino floor was scarce both on weekdays and weekends. It didn't seem they were circulating much, and when they did come by, they often skipped us (we are not big drinkers, so it was fine for us, but it left us feeling un-welcomed). Interestingly enough, for both drinks I ordered during my stay (handed a $5 bill for tip) I was asked if I wanted any change back :-/ - the floral scent that's pumped through the AC units on the casino floor can quickly become overwhelming and a bit nauseating. I understand casinos do this to cover up odors and have a 'signature scent' however a lighter less floral aroma may be a better choice Overall a good value for us (over low-occupancy days and with a good promotion) and a change of pace for a fun few days away from the hustle and bustle of city living.

And Sam Salter will always brag that, "he's been in the business for 30 years"!! I called to verify my emailed pre-approved 1:00pm early check in from weeks ago, (instead of the 3pm), when I arrived at the Idaho Springs, CO location. I was taken aback when he retorted angrily that I need to come back at 3pm because he would not allow me to check in at 1pm "because of Covid"! That was fine with me, but why did I get an OK email in the first place, I asked? Sam retorted, "I just emailed you that I need to check in at the designated time, don't you read your emails"? (which he probably sent while I was on the road). Then Sam proceeded to dare me, "You can cancel if you want to"! "Do you want me to cancel you"? I just said that "That's Ok, we will come back at 3pm then" So I came back at the designated time, knocked on the closed office. Somebody acknowledged, so I went in. I gave him my name, he looked for it in his database, and then asked for my CC. When Sam was about to get my card, He asked, "Have you been vaccinated"? I said 'No" With barefaced disdain, he immediately put on his mask! And ask with hostility: "Why aren't you vaccinated"? And proceeded to a condescending lecture, "You should be vaccinated, yada, yada, yada"! While I was signing my receipt, He asked me again, "why didn't I get vaccinated"? And when I enumerated my reasons, he cut me off in explaining why with, "THIS CONVERSATION IS OVER"! And told me "to GO, GET OUT OF THE OFFICE!"! And STAY AWAY FROM ME"! When I entered the dated room, "heavily scented" with an annoying cheap perfume! I noticed the visible filthy carpet with SERIOUS STAINS on it!! And said to myself, "This carpet has more COVID than anywhere else"! And the AC vents looks like it hasn't been cleaned for '30 years'! (wink wink) with hardened dirty smudges in between jalousies ! So are the comforters! And the pillows! They had musty human odors! I have to spray LYSOL Aerosol EVERYWHERE! (Good thing I brought my own pillow and towel!) You could tell when you enter a hotel room with intense perfume scent, they are hiding the ODOR! or something!! This was the MOST DISGUSTING and HUMILIATING encounter I had with a Hotelier!! SO, if you want to spare yourself from an ANGRY OLD, MISERABLE MAN's WRATH! STAY AWAY FROM COLUMBINE INN at IDAHO SPRINGS, Colorado!

I don't know if I can say enough good things about Club Hotel…read more The entire experience had a bed-and-breakfast feel without being a traditional bed-and-breakfast. Check-in was fantastic, and the hospitality and friendliness set the tone for the entire stay. We stayed on the first floor in The Stanley, and the room felt surprisingly spacious thanks to the high ceilings. The bathroom was large, the room was exceptionally clean, and thoughtful touches were everywhere. The soaps were great, there were plenty of towels, and we appreciated having pour over coffee and creamers available both in the room and on each floor. They provide a couple of bottles of water and a lotion as well. One thing we really enjoyed was that the hotel never felt crowded or busy. There wasn't always someone stationed at the front desk, which may not be for everyone, but for us it made the place feel more like a home than a hotel. Coming and going felt effortless and comfortable. The location is excellent - just a block from Miner Street and easy walking distance to restaurants, shops, and everything downtown Idaho Springs has to offer. The complimentary parking across the street was another huge plus, especially since free parking can be hard to find in town. The history of the building adds to the charm, and it's clear the owners have put a lot of thought into preserving that character while creating a comfortable place to stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.
