Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
My stay at the Block Hotel & Commons in Silverthorne, CO was excellent. I was meeting some people for a local hike the next morning, and I wanted to break up the drive to the trailhead. The front desk staff was very hospitable and nice to talk with. She checked me into the hotel and answered my questions about some local activities/amenities. I talked with a couple of guys exploring the area, visiting from DC, and one guy had just moved to Golden. It was enjoyable to talk with them about the pros/cons of where to potentially live along the front range. I then took a short walk along the riverside greenway right outside of the hotel before checking out the hot tub on the 3rd floor level. I talked with a few people while at the hot tub who were in the area to take a few runs at A-Basin and Mary Jane ski resorts. The all-male dorm room was very comfortable and quiet. I highly recommend staying at the Block Hotel & Commons if you need a place to lodge near Silverthorne.

This was such a fun place to stay! I met so many interesting people in the hot tub, kitchen and bar, but there are also many areas where you can sit undisturbed or do yoga. They even have yoga mats you can borrow!

Well thought out hostel

Clean, new, pretty, lots of seating areas, great planning with bunk beds in Female room and bathrooms ( coed in sink area— with plenty of sinks and space- but then separate female shower/ toilet areas). Key card entry into kitchen and rooms. Plenty free parking. Good location by river walk and near to interstate 70. Highly recommend
Female sleeping area— large lockers
Female showers— lots of hooks/ shelf space and shampoo/ conditioner provided.
Cool stairs to hot tub

The awesome vibe of this place more than made up for the small size of our room. It was very conducive to meeting amazing people and just lounging around in a beautiful environment. The common areas were so well thought out and so fun, and the shared bathrooms and showers were clean and offered plenty of privacy. I would go back in a heartbeat!

First (ever) Hostel Stay at The Pad

For my first time in a hostel this was the place to do it! Everyone was so nice, I didn’t know I needed a lock for the lockers in the shared rooms, the front desk was nice enough to say someone had left one that I could use. I thought it would be weird sharing a room but it was comfortable and had a personal shelf/light. The room was never full (fits up to six) since it is off season- for me that was great getting used to a shared room. I loved the common spaces and the additional ‘more private’ common space (locked entry to several rooms) was super useful to unpack without disturbing others too much. They’ve thought of everything. Bathrooms were nice enough with stall and showers separated by gender. There’s a hot tub which I enjoyed a few nights and even a bar onsite. Highly recommend!
