When I went to college in Rolla, MO, they had a shirt that said, “Rolla: In the Middle of Everywhere.”
I get that feeling with the Holiday Inn Express halfway between Denver and Brighton. It is about 40 minutes to downtown Denver, about 15 minutes to Brighton, and about 10 minutes west to Northglenn, where the [...]
Getting a room in downtown Denver for a long time was difficult, so I was bounced around to three different hotels during my stay here. Going to Vernal and Grand Junction didn’t help.
The Comfort Inn in downtown Denver is a nice place to stay but has some strange features due to it being an old [...]
The Holiday Inn Express Vernal - Dinosaurland was the only available lodging in either Grand Junction, CO, or Vernal, UT, on the days when I needed it, so I visited Vernal first.

I got an average room with a king-size bed. The normal mattress and pillows [...]
This week I stayed closer to Denver, but the area this hotel is in is an industrial sector without many restaurants. I was also getting back to racking up Holiday Inn points.
The Holiday Inn Denver-Central is essentially two whole buildings of four floors each. There are enough elevators to avoid being inconvenienced.
I got an average-size [...]
For 19 days I stayed at the Comfort Inn in Brighton, CO. The nearest Holiday Inn was over a half hour away, so I thought I would try something closer. I do have a membership in the Choice Hotels frequent stay program, but one strike against that program is that the points expire. Guess I [...]
