Do not recommend at all. The dirty glasses in my room, the shampoo and condition packets that had less than a teaspoon in it were useless. The pool being out of order for over a year and not saying so when we booked or after when they changed it on line was fraudulent. No staff at night to help with anything. Air conditioner was not very effective. This hotel has potential but as long as the people running it are there it won't improve. Smirking at my wife when he said the pool is closed was not impressive.

Room looked good as we entered, too bad the bathroom window is broken and does not close, part of the cleaning cloth had come off in the bathtub (honest mistake but zero noticing it) glasses were filthy in Ben’s room and the air conditioning was not functioning well.Make no mistake they have ZERO intention of re-opening the pool. Look online they still advertise it. It’s how we got sucked in. Get to the hotel and he says it’s been closed for over a year but on their site now it says closed from May-Oct 2026. We booked in April and they didn’t bother to let us know or offer us the chance to cancel. Tried to solve through online booking and they literally told Expedia that our reservations did not include the pool

After reading others reviews I was nervous about my selection for a 3 night stay. Before I write my review, I will not be comparing it to a Marriott or other high end Hotels. So many reviews I read compared the two. They cannot be compared. A few things to ask yourself:
1. How much time are you spending in the room?
2. How much money do you want to save or spend?
3. How picky are you with the fine details?

After you answer those questions, if you are spending all day and night in the room, this is not for you. If you like to save money, it will be a good choice, but if willing to spend more, then go hotel. If you're picky, then go to a hotel.

I stayed 3 nights in July. Spent only our nights there, wanted something within budget, and we're not picky people, so this was our choice.

Now the review: Motel was larger than expected with ample parking. It's in a safe area with lots to see and do in the area. A 5 min walk to downtown Golden, containing lots of shops and restaurants. The outside esthetics is old-school with browns and yellows and could use updating. The room, also old-school, but had two beds, tv, air, fridge, coffee maker, and microwave. Room was very clean and shower was hot with lots of pressure. Bed and pillows were comfy. Outdoor pool was closed (no big deal for us). Staff was very friendly, helpful and accommodating.

Overall, our experience was good and would recommend staying here as long as your not expecting presidential treatment.

Even though the website shows two pools, an outdoor and indoor, they are both out of service. If their pools are not available they should say that on their website so you don’t book here only to find out there are no pools to enjoy. That was the biggest disappointment for us.

Room was clean, decent size fridge and microwave. Other than that just plain motel with no amenities to enjoy unless you like sitting in a chair in front of your room staring at a parking lot.

I was unable to connect to the Wi-Fi during my stay. I called the front desk three times for assistance, but unfortunately, no one was able to resolve the issue.

The hot tub area did not appear to be clean, which was disappointing.

The room itself was nice, and the location was convenient. The view from the room was also beautiful. However, although the room was booked for four guests, the amenities were provided for only two people.

Staff were friendly & efficient at check in. Did not like the fact that amenities such as coffee were not restocked at all during my stay. Would have preferred to have garbages emptied, bed made, and coffee restocked daily in addition to extra towels and toilet paper if needed. Bed was not very comfortable. I found it too hard. It would have been nice to have extra pillows to fix the bed. Room smelled kind of musty. It could be the old carpet? Outdoor pool non functional. Also would have preferred a ground floor room instead of a second floor room. Room does not have great soundproofing. Can hear normal conversations and tv in next room very clearly. Location was very convenient in Golden and close to downtown amenities. This was on okay stay for the cost.

The motel is in need of an update. Hard to tell if bathroom floor was just in need of update and paint around baseboards or if it needed better cleaning. We were in room 108 - fridge did not work (they brought a bag of ice). One wall plug in did not hold a plug in place. Bed not very comfy, a big saggy towards center. No hair dryer in room but I was able to pick one up to use from office. Pool did not have water - didn’t see a hot tub. No Kleenex in room. On plus side room was spaceous. Staff was friendly. I’m not sure it was up to “Mary’s” standards

We had issue with our parking in front of our room on returning Saturday night with my 98 year old mom. “Neighbors” had been told they could park their extra vehicle anywhere - first come basis. We explained we had elderly lady with a sprained ankle. They still weren’t wanting to move. Finally after more discussion one fellow said he’d move the vehicle. Seems first cone basis should only apply to the additional space not the space in front of your assigned room. Staff should inform guests of that as it only makes sense for loading and unloading. That’s why motels are nice as you can park right by a main floor room for ease.

The outdoor and indoor pool is not open. But they have a sauna and hot tub. We booked two rooms. The first was room 269 with comfortable newer beds and a newer a/c and a room fridge freezer that worked but room 270 had older beds and an old a/c and a fridge freezer that didn’t work. The staff was so friendly at the front desk and you’re moments away from the pedestrian foot bridge.

This motel could use some work. But they charge a lot for what they offer so I guess they see no need. My room was in a high traffic area, so sleep was an issue. Nothing fancy about the cleanliness or the bed or room. One night you can but up with it if everywhere else is booked out.

In check in the clerk said the room is across the street and didn’t indicate where so had to look for it. The bed was comfortable but had some torn pieces hanging from the side of the mattress. Rug had a bare patch in it and needs replacing. There was a dead bug on the baseboard heating and another one in the corner if the bathroom. No coffee maker or supplies. Two small glasses which I had to wash before I could use as they were not clean. Insufficient lighting in sink area. Thought it advertised a restaurant on site but there was none. Needs some serious upgrades. Thought it was overpriced for what you got. Probably won’t stay here again.

There was nothing good about this motel. Asked to be moved to a different room when we got there since we thought the bed was about to collapse when we sat on it. They gave us a new room...TV didn't work, broken lamp, stained bed sheets, dead bugs on the wall, fridge didn't work properly, no kleenex, no hot water (which they did call a plummer to fix). It was absolutely filthy. They advertised an outdoor pool, sure there was a pool, but no water in it. Go to Mary's Motel website and view the video someone put on it featuring bed bugs. I can't believe this place is still in business. I've read on line that the original owner, Mary, would be turning in her grave if she knew what was going on. This place needs to be inspected. We've done a lot of traveling, worst place I've ever seen! Don't stay here...EVER!
