Origin Red Rocks, a Wyndham Hotel

8/10 Good
"Origin Red Rocks was a clean and well located for our purposes. The whole hotel has an updated decor of a Hard Rock Hotel type vibe for a younger crowd. Our king room was clean and roomy. The bed and linens were extremely comfortable. Bathroom is standard sized with trendy, cute decor. The biggest criticism I have is that there was not enough electric light in the room after closing the drapes-dim side lamps and entry light was not sufficient for tasks, etc. We came in late and only stayed one night so not too much experience to draw from. We were hungry around 9;30pm when we arrived and the front desk employee was nice to point out that the restaurant closed at 10pm So we quickly went over there after checking in. The waitress was not super nice when she said "I want you to know that I am closing up"-but it was only 10:45 so she should not have been! She served us anyway but didn't seem to be too happy about it. Nice hotel with a unique vibe."

"The bed was very comfortable. The dual coffee maker in the room leaked out one side while I was brewing one cup on the other side - it needs to be replaced. The patched bath ceiling needs to be scraped, plastered and repainted. It's embarrassing, as is the stain on the shower wall. Softer kleenex would be a nice touch. The iron was quality, but the ironing board pad needs to be replaced as it slides off. And the worst was the $20 parking charge per night in Commerce City??? That's inexcusable for a hotel that wants a great reputation."
