(1 Star) - DANGEROUS CONDITIONS - AVOID AT ALL COSTS
Date of Stay: October 3, 2025
Room: 11
I wish I could give zero stars. This was the worst and most unsafe lodging experience of my life. DO NOT stay here - your health and safety are at risk.
SERIOUS HEALTH HAZARDS:
Black Mold Everywhere: Within minutes of entering the bathroom, I experienced severe shortness of breath. The shower had extensive black mold growth that was clearly long-standing and completely unaddressed. This is a serious respiratory hazard that should have made the room uninhabitable.
Dangerous Electrical Violations: An extension cord was running FROM ANOTHER ROOM into Room 11 with FIVE devices plugged into it. This is a massive fire hazard and clear electrical code violation. How is this even legal?
Improper Chemical Use: When I reported the mold to management, instead of properly addressing it, they came in with harsh chemicals and started spraying without any ventilation or safety measures. This made my breathing problems WORSE, not better.
REFUSED REFUND FOR UNSAFE CONDITIONS:
When I asked for my money back due to these completely uninhabitable and dangerous conditions, I was flatly told NO. They said I either had to stay in the unsafe room or leave without my money. This is unacceptable - no one should be forced to pay for a room that poses health risks.
SUSPICIOUS INCIDENT:
While dealing with management about the refund, my truck keys disappeared from the bathroom sink where I had placed them. When I got back to my 2023 GMC AT-4, my doors were unlocked (they had been locked) and the truck wouldn't start - it said "remote not in truck."
I went back to look for my keys, and the manager suggested I look under the bed. When I returned to my truck again, I caught the manager at my driver's side door, and she moved away quickly. Suddenly my truck started, and I found my keys in the driver's side door panel - a place I had already thoroughly searched and they were NOT there before.
I cannot prove anything, but the timing and circumstances are extremely suspicious and concerning.
BOTTOM LINE:
This motel has:
Dangerous black mold
Fire hazard electrical violations
Improper handling of health issues
No refunds for uninhabitable rooms
Questionable security practices
Extremely shady management
I have filed formal complaints with the Denver Health Department and Better Business Bureau. This place needs to be investigated and shut down until serious repairs and management changes are made.
STAY AWAY. Pay more and go literally anywhere else. Your health, safety, and peace of mind are worth it.
Update: I am still experiencing respiratory issues days after this stay due to the mold exposure. read more
