Top hotels in Downtown Boulder
Monarch Casino Resort Spa Black Hawk
All good with cleanliness and hospitality. Other than not winning even a little bit with slot machines the overnight stay was good. Gas, food, and lodging $400 before dropping coins seems a bit much but it was our anniversary so there you go.

Room and facility were very clean and well kept! The pull out sofa mattress left much to be desired, but otherwise it was a pleasant stay!
