This is my second stay, and it is every bit as good as the first. The rooms are well appointed and very comfortable, the tavern is fantastic, and the staff are wonderful as well. An awesome place to stay, especially after a long day on the road

Disappointed on first sight that it was not an historic(meaning old) building. However the story of its renovation by Carpenter and Gutierrez is interesting and commendable. Restaurant menu sounds amazing but we were not hungry after sitting in the car all day.

I stayed in a suite and it was wonderful. It was fully remodeled and very clean. The only thing the suite lacked was a closet or chest of drawers to store clothing in. Also the suites are on the second floor and there wasn’t an elevator. While it wasn’t a problem for me, it might be a challenge for someone who struggles with stairs.

Restaurant food was good. No towel rack, clothes closet, chair for desk. Sliding glass door to the public deck was difficult to slide and one door lock didn’t work. Manager was slow to investigate door problem, and a clerk 2 days later told maintenance about the problem.

Great place to stay

Newly renovated and clean. Staff was amazing. Restaurant was closed, but I’ve heard nothing but good things about it. Continental breakfast was great as well, you could tell it was made from scratch.

I was blown away by the opulence of a newly remodeled "cow town" hotel. It was nice even by Denver standards. Thomas, front desk was incredibly helpful. The suite has a shower bigger than most bathrooms and a claw foot tub!

TEN stars

I consider myself a traveler. Big cities and little towns. This place would be at the top of my recommendations for a place to stay. Spacious room, comfortable bed and couch. Our stay was in a suite with our dog. Many choices for the breakfast, delicious dinner and drinks at the restaurant.

great remodel!! heard the restaurant is wonderful too but did not eat there. have stayed at the Cow Palace when I was a kiddo. Room was a balcony room and was very nice... a few things could be changed/added for better utilization. No makeup mirror needed by the sink, in the bathroom the tile needs to be fixed in the shower, the shower door needs a water block on the title base and a bench in the bathroom would fill the space nicely. maybe find a double vanity to replace what is there. Just some ideas from a guest.
