Nice maid staff. Room was in bad disrepair with numerous patches. bathroom was difficult to get to toilet and ceiling was coming apart. I think this property rates higher than it should be. Bare bones, no frills.
Good location but king room on lower east side in bad shape.

Upon opening the door to our room you could see footprints on the floor. The floor apparently wasn’t swept before we got there as it felt dirty when walking across it barefoot. Beds were very good though. When checking in you didn’t feel very welcome.

Love a well run local owned property. Sure there are always unique characteristics and querks but that’s the fun of travel and adventure. You can’t beat a mountain stream flowing right off your balcony in the Rocky Mountains. Very short drive into Idaho Springs downtown bars and shops. Easy on snd off the interstate.

This hotel is about 20 years past it's prime and in need of a renovation. Don't expect the latest here. That being said, it was a good place to spend a few nights. Easy access off I-70, good food within easy walking distance. The rooms were clean, if in need of an update, and the place was comfortable and safe. We had a river front balcony and that was a great way to spend a few hours.

The room itself was actually pretty nice even it was dated, but it was clean… The exterior of the building does not look good. The railing on the deck wobbles and the stairs going to the second floor were in bad shape. There’s just a lot of deferred exterior maintenance.

The description of the Argo Inn on Hotels.com said it was newly updated. No it's not. It looks straight out of the 80s. The metal door frame in the bathroom was rusted. Fixtures looked old. However, the room and bathroom were clean. Since it's an older property, the rooms are larger than most so we had room to spread out. We did get a room on the creekside and that was so lovely. The balcony had two chairs so you could sit out there and listen to nice sounds of the creek. We did see chairs on the terraced slope next to the creek and it looked like a nice place to sit a spell though we did not. The location is convenient and close to everything. There is ample parking. There is no breakfast and though they said there was coffee in the lobby, there wasn't the morning we left. I don't regret we stayed here. Having a room on the creek was a special treat. I just wish the hotel was not advertised as being updated. The person who checked us in was not mean or anything but definitely was not oozing with friendliness either. Oh well. The creek was worth it.

Overall it was a decent stay. The property was definitely old and outdated. The railing on the balcony was dirty and covered with spider webs. Both sinks were clogged and drained very slowly. Not a good deal at the price I paid. I have stayed in newly renovated places that were cheaper, even in peak summer times.

Hotel is nice and quiet as the room we had backed up to the mountain stream. The room did require some maintenance, sliding glass door would not lock without some finagling and there were several holes on the show, tub surround. We enjoyed leaving the screen door closed and the glass door open at night to allow the sound of the mountain stream filter through the room. Overall it's a nice property compared to others I have stayed at in the same town.

The only thing that would have improved our stay would be a grill - there was not a grill available for use.

This is a solid, reliable hotel and a great value for the price. It’s a safe, clean place to stay with friendly staff and no major issues during my visit. I particularly enjoyed the peaceful water creek nearby. It was a lovely spot to relax and take in the scenery.
The hotel is older, so the rooms and common areas have a classic, dated feel rather than a modern one. If you’re expecting contemporary luxury, this might not be the place for you. However, everything was well-maintained, comfortable, and functional.
Overall, I’d happily stay here again for its convenient location, safety, and peaceful surroundings. Recommended for travelers who appreciate character and practicality over brand-new facilities.”

We had a wonderful time while we were there. You can tell that the Argo Inn is an older property however we still enjoyed our stay. The river that ran behind our room, Clear Creek, was very calming. Idaho Springs is such a quaint town. The mix of mountains, river and trees was picturesque; I wish we would've stayed longer!
Our only concern was our bathroom door. It was not level so we had to pull extra hard to shut but other than that, no complaints.
We will definitely still recommend to friends and family.

We knew going in that the Argo is a budget hotel. It's clearly an older property and we weren't expecting the Ritz. The bed was clean and comfortable, which is the most important thing. The room has a cute little patio overlooking Clear Creek. The room was really cold when we arrived, and it look a while for it to warm up. The shower was ok, but the water never really got hot. It was barely warm, and I was more chilled getting out than when I got in. Towels were another issue. There were only 2 bath towels; not enough for a couple. The coffee set up was also inadequate. There was only 1 each of regular coffee, decaf, tea, and cocoa; also not enough for a couple. The tv worked fine, but there we were unable to find any movie channels, or any info on how to navigate the available ones.

As you pull into the parking lot, you see an old and weathered building next to the Argo mine. If you were looking for a pristine Rocky Mountain wilderness, this place is not it. Yet it is conveniently located near Denver, which was my main concern. So I was delighted to discover that the room was super comfortable and clean, with a balcony looking out onto Clear Creek. I enjoyed sitting on the balcony and listening to the water rushing by while I ate delicious takeout from Eric's, next door.

The sheets, towels, shower curtains, everything seemed new, clean, and even elegant. I mean, this place was less than $100 a night, but it was one of the most comfortable and enjoyable places I have stayed. I spent two nights and walked everywhere and will choose this place if passing through the area again.
