Denver, Colorado, is at the center of a busy metropolitan area of nearly three million people, most living outside the city proper. Stretching east to west along the northern part of the Denver metro, 120th Ave. connects the communities of Broomfield, Westminster, Northglenn, Thornton and Henderson. Most of the motels on or near 120th are found in a cluster where 120th crosses Interstate-25, Denver's main north-south freeway.
Located one block off 120th just west of Interstate-25, this budget-rate property offers some amenities often found at higher-priced facilities, such as a fitness center, whirlpool and sauna, and free high-speed Internet service. Guests may partake of a free continental breakfast, with extras such as biscuits and gravy or hot waffles. Many of the guest rooms include in-room microwaves and refrigerators, and the property also offers large parking spots for RVs, trucks and buses. Numerous dining options are nearby, including Cracker Barrel by the freeway, and C.B. Potts further west, a popular micro-brewery.
