Mid
Basic hotel, nothing more. Room was quite small but adequate for a night. Bed ok but it was too warm in the room at night for my liking and I couldn't see anywhere to regulate the heat. The window opens but Golden has trains running through 24/7. There are earplugs provided, not sure if it's for the trains or because you hear the TV from the the other rooms? Online check in takes a while and I still had to call to get the code and details for my room. Also had to email to get the receipt. The person at the front desk did her best to avoid eye contact or any interaction.

We loved this property. Our room was amazing, clean, spacious and well thought out.
We thought the communal socialising area was fabulous and enjoyed our evening playing board games.
Excellent onsite parking, lots of local area information.

2nd visit to Basecamp Lodge Golden. Still love the simple beauty of this unique find. Sitting in an overstuffed chair with a blanket and a cup of tea in front of the wood burning central fire place, lit Christmas tree and large windows into the winter night sky is a great way to end the day.
