    Business Stay Week of April 22nd

    April 29, 2013

    I stayed at the Dove Inn while on business the entire week of 4/22. Everything was outstanding from the room to the service. The location was excellent and I was in walking distance to anywhere I wanted to go in downtown Golden. I will be going back but this time it will be pleasure and not business.

    Best B&B west of the Mississippi.....and maybe east of as well!

    April 12, 2013

    Our stay at The Dove Inn couldn't have been better. The facilities were top-notch and service from the innkeeper went beyond the standard level of care. Elizabeth's flexibility in serving our wants and needs stood above all others. If your visit includes Golden this B&B is a must! If your visit is to Denver you couldn't find a better value than The Dove Inn with Denver being just "down the road".

    March 31, 2013

    This Bed & Breakfast is so convenient to the Colorado School of Mines and downtown Golden. Wish we had stayed the night before instead of driving up so early in the morning... The hospitality was amazing. Would recomment this place to everyone.

    Gem of a stay in a ' Gem Town'.

    March 30, 2013

    We stayed twice at the Dove. First on 3/16 and then on 3/23-4/2013. We were headed to ski country and decided to stay the night before driving into the mountains. We stayed in the Red Rocks Room. It was small, though very nicely appointed. The HUGE bath tub was a delight was well as the VERY COMFY bed. Elizabeth was very helpful in orienting us to Golden Colorado as well as seeing to our every need. On the 23/24 we were headed home and needed a transition between skiing and our flight. After a drive through a snowy pass, we arrived to have her son check us in to the Parisian Room. It was a room with an lg. bay window and private toilet/ shower. Breakfasts were a tour de force. Our first stay we had delicious 'baked' french toast which was to DIE for. For our second stay, Elizabeth made us a delicious apple pancake with bacon and fruit. Once again, mouthwatering. Our third morning was an early morning for us, so Elizabeth graciously packed us bag breakfast with ginger blueberry muffins,juice and fruit...Just the thing to get us started. The Dove Inn common area is a 'living room' containing a large bay window appointed with a comfy large chair. It was just the thing to accommodate my 'jet lagged reading in the wee hours of the morning. I I curled up reading many of the books and magazine provided for the guests as I waited from my clock to tick 'bed time'. Golden, Co and specifically the Dove Inn is definitely a push pin mark on your map whether passing through or restful 'few day' get away.

    Enjoyable

    I really enjoyed the dishes that were prepared for us, also the company of the other guests, whom had interesting lives to share.

    February 15, 2013

    It was a very comfortable stay and the customer service is excellent. I would suggest a sleep machine in the rooms. You can hear the hallway and room next door if the other guests are loud. The location is exceptional if you are wanting to walk to campus or downtown. I would stay there again.

    FANTASTIC!

    February 05, 2013

    We stayed in the Columbine Room for one night. It was cozy and perfectly situated to get to windows of light. The bed was extremely comfortable and the in suite bathroom was small but perfectly doable. The best part about our stay was the breakfast in the morning!! Prepared perfectly on time and probably the most delicious breakfast I've had in years. Thank you for the wonderful stay, can't wait to visit again.
