Hotel Howard Johnson Denver (Wheat Ridge, USA)

If you’re looking for cheap, then you’ve got it with this hotel. Your budget will remain in tact, which leaves you more money to do other things.

Surprisingly, the hotel location is super convenient. There is a Walmart, a liquor store, and a gas station. The facility is nearby the I-70 and near two casinos. There are two hot springs with natural healing waters close by and if you like to ski, Aspen or Vail can be reached in no time.

You can bring your four-legged friend with you, as the hotel is pet friendly. There is also convenient onsite laundry.

By the time check-in is over, you will feel intimidated or like you’ve just signed up for boot camp! You have to sign several statements that basically makes you promise that you’re going to be an obedient visitor. For example, you have to sing a statement that you have been informed there is a hefty fine for illegal drug use on the premises. Then there’s the deposit, the breakfast ticket, and more rules and regulations. It’s all drama and a hotel experience you will probably prefer to forget.

The grounds of the hotel could use some tidying up. Broken windows, trash cans that haven’t been emptied, no grass only weeds, and questionable people just “hanging out” in the back of the hotel, will make you question your choice of hotel.

Walking through the hotel corridor is like walking through a haze of cigarette smoke. Moreover, it seems that staff members enjoy puffing away at the entrance, which means you have to walk through their smoke as well.
