Property Description
The Best Western Denver Southwest is the perfect destination for visitors seeking a convenient location just minutes from both downtown Denver and the Rocky Mountain foothills. Our hotel offers superbly appointed accommodations and a wide variety of amenities ideal for business and leisure travelers alike.
Uniquely situated in suburban Denver, the hotel provides easy access to the nearby Denver Zoo, Pepsi Center, Coors Field, Botanical Gardens, Sports Authority Field at Mile High, Elitch Gardens Amusement Park, Bel Mar Shopping Center, and the 16th Street Mall. If you plan to spend some time exploring the foothills and Rocky Mountains, our location affords incomparable access to some of the best attractions and day hiking available on the Front Range. Take in a summer concert at the world famous Red Rocks Amphitheater, or enjoy the thrill of drag racing at Bandimere Speedway, both less than a ten minute drive from our hotel.
Each of our immaculately clean and comfortable guest rooms are furnished with 40-inch flat screen televisions and more than 60 channels of HD programming, including HBO®. For your convenience, complimentary Wi-Fi access, microwaves, refrigerators, and coffee makers are also provided in every room.
Our one of a kind, year round outdoor heated pool and hot tub were designed to imitate the shorelines of the Cretaceous Interior Seaway which covered Colorado more than 100 million years ago. The hotel boasts a strong sense of prehistoric regional identity in a nod to early paleontological explorations of the area. You may feel as if you walking through a natural history museum as you peruse our collection of replica artifacts, dig panels, and fossils found throughout the lobby building and hotel.
Enjoy the best that Denver has to offer and still find time to take in the scenic beauty of Colorado while experiencing the same great service and value you have come to expect at the Best Western Denver Southwest.

Cutest dinosaur themed hotel. Awesome pool!! Great visit. Perfect for kids! The only thing that was NOT cool was the large shamrock food truck that was delivering stuff at 6 am being loud as hell. Maybe consider having delivery’s like that not so close to the rooms and that early. Otherwise amazing hotel!! Highly recommend

We have stayed here more than once as it is hard to find decent accessible rooms which actually meet my requirements. They have great accommodations for 2 people in their accessible rooms. They are spotless with a great bathroom meeting all of my needs .Staff are friendly and helpful.

Booked the Rewards Member Flexible Rate directly through Best Western for our two night stay in Denver (July 13th and 14th). Upon arrival, I was aware that the rate for both nights of our stay had been reduced by the hotel and available for booking online. I asked if the hotel would adjust the rate, to which I was first met with "you booked though a third party" (which I did not, and was confirmed by the woman at the front desk). The hotel was absolutely ABLE to adjust the rate, but made the choice not to honor the lower rate. After our trip, I called BW Rewards customer service (on July 16th), they sent a message to the general manager who also chose to also not honor the rates. This was not communicated to me by the hotel or by BW customer service. I had to call back to follow up on the request. When I called on July 30th, BW Customer Service stated that they "could not override this decision by the GM" and would not offer any other alternative compensation. We are extremely disappointed with the hotel and the followup customer service.

Unfortunately when we visited around 22 July 2025 for 2 nights the Internet was very poor, none of the TVs in the 3 rooms worked. Pool was good, as was the hot tub. The morning staff were amazing, helpful and on it. The evening staff from check in were not so good. Breakfast was the usual free offering. Not sure we would stay at this location when visiting Denver again

There was no hot water in my room. I was told maintenance would come look at it. That never happened. I asked for a room with hot water, they didn't have one. This is not the first time this has happened at this hotel. I gave them benefit of the doubt and thought I'd try it again. This last stay was the last time I'll make that mistake. I won't ever stay at any best western again. Their utter lack of caring topped it off for me. When I asked other guests if they had hot water, I couldn't find anyone who did.

I'm not saying this is the worst hotel I've been at, but it doesn't rank among the best either. Our room was definitely dated and smelled of smoke. I didn't feel unsafe, but I definitely was uncomfortable - the peep hole did not have a cover on the inside and there was quite a gap between the floor and the door. The room otherwise seemed clean, but our sheets were so stiff and almost crunchy... The coffee area in the lobby was dirty enough that it made me question when the last time it was deep cleaned, but breakfast was okay. If you just need a place to rest after a concert, not a bad and cheap option that is close to Red Rocks. I wouldn't recommend if you were planning on spending lots of time at the hotel.

I really wanted to have a nice time at this hotel but have been dealing with the repercussions of staying here for over a month so I would avoid staying here. I booked this hotel to have a nice time with my partner for a concert we traveled all the way from Texas to go to. Let’s start with the positives — breakfast was good and the breakfast attendants were EXTREMELY accommodating and kind, really went above and beyond for every guest. The young brunette girl at check-in, who actually did something about this situation, was also helpful and nice as well. That 2nd star is SOLELY for them. I would give this stay an unfortunate one star otherwise as much as I wanted to like this place. We thought the dinosaur theme would be fun and silly, and I have stayed at Best Westerns for over 10+ years with family, I have always been a fan of them. We were also really excited about the hot tub, which of course was “out of service”, of course! The 2nd morning we were there I noticed there was blood on the sheets that clearly was trying to be covered up by the pillows. I let the front desk know to please have them change the sheets as there was blood on them, the extremely high employee confirmed and we went about our day, did not think anything of it. Came back, only to find not only had the sheets NOT been changed, but just moved around where the blood was at the foot of the bed to not see it I assume. I knew by the time I had come back for the day, housekeeping had already left for the day so there was no point. I went the next morning and told them ONCE AGAIN, there was blood on the sheets, please change them, this would be the 2nd time asking. It was finally changed our last night there, thanks I guess. After checking out a couple of days later I had noticed I had been refunded in full, and had just assumed they had comped the stay due to the blood. I have worked at a hotel before, this is not out of the norm and I didn’t think anything of it. Two whole weeks had passed by and I see my account is NEGATIVE almost $600 from this place charging me again when the money was ALREADY taken out fully at check in (which I prepaid so it shouldn’t have been in the first place) and then refunded and charged AGAIN? I immediately put in a complaint with Best Western and was contacted pretty shortly after about this. I was told after talking to Best Western customer support I would be contacted by a manager in 2-5 days. Was never contacted by anyone about this. I called back today as it was the 5th business day; Tyler the front office manager for this property LIED and said there was never any complaints about the blood and there was a “credit card error” which is why I was charged AGAIN 2 weeks later. Why was I not contacted about that? A common courtesy email would’ve been fine, at least I would’ve known what happen. I have never written a review like this and quite frankly, really upset I have to. This was so disappointing to have to STILL be dealing with more than a

I would qualify this hotel as somewhat of a "hidden gem" in that the cost is very reasonable, the hotel in reasonably good shape, and the rooms were clean. It's in a part of Lakewood that (other than rush hour) is very quiet and peaceful. The location is also convenient - away from downtown but close enough to 470 and I-70 (about 10 -15 minutes each), to make it convenient for the pass-through travel. The only negative we experienced was the location is in an area of Lakewood where there appear to be a lot of transients (we saw police and an EMT crew assisting what appeared to be a homeless person in distress right across the street. It's not a significant issue but I would be aware of it. The break was very good, and the amenities (pool, fitness center, etc.) appeared to be in good shape, although we didn't use them.

I've stayed here a few times and the pool has never been open. Also it's priced kinda high in my opinion for what it is. The place is quite dated and could use some modern touches. The bathrooms are really small. So while the breakfast is what I would consider to be ok....there's nothing really special about the place which makes me wonder why the price is so high all the time.....
