We were welcomed by a friendly check in attendant. We stayed in a suite that was very accommodating for our family of 5 with teens. Spacious two room suite with a king bed and a bunk bed. Hotel was located near the downtown area with close proximity to attractions, shopping, and dining.

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Glenwood Springs
Every thing was good, breakfast was great and staff was great. Only complaint I had was I was in 326 and up stairs there seemed to be a lot of what sounded like a chair scraping the floor as it was moved. Heard this almost every day I was there in the 4 days.

Excellent location

Hotel Maxwell Anderson
It would have been a perfect stay, however it was very busy at night. I believe it is due to the age of the building as to why you can hear everything. The people above our room were extremely noisy and it was all through the night.
