Room, Partial Mountain View

This room offers a partial mountain view that brings the Front Range into sight. It is a partial outlook rather than a full panorama, so it suits guests who want a glimpse of the mountains without paying for a higher category. Blackout drapes let you darken the room when you want to sleep.

The room has 2 Queen Beds in a one-bedroom layout and sleeps up to 4 guests in 372 sq. ft. That works well for a family of four or two couples sharing. Travel crib options are available for families with little ones.

The room has a private bathroom with a bathtub or shower, and it is stocked with towels, shampoo, soap, bathrobes and a hair dryer. Toothbrush and toothpaste are available on request. Accessibility features, including closed-captioned TV and a visual fire alarm, are also part of the room.

You will find a 55-inch flat-screen TV with cable channels, a coffee/tea maker, free bottled water, an in-room safe, an iron and ironing board, and a phone. Room service runs 24 hours, and housekeeping visits daily. Wi-Fi and wired internet in the room carry a surcharge, which one source quotes at $14.99 per day. Public-area Wi-Fi is complimentary.

Yes. Two queen beds, space for four, travel crib options and room service around the clock make it practical for families.
