Update 6/27/2021...another excellent experience at Century.
Upped the review to 5 stars!
Our suite at the Century was one of nicest and coolest accommodations we've ever stayed in. I could go on and on about it, but to cut to the chase, the lighting was amazing, with ample task lighting combined with softer overhead lighting. The bathroom finishes were urbane. The window between the shower and the room was fun, plus it allowed natural light from the four huge windows into the bathroom. The bedding was first rate. If I hit the lottery and could design a bedroom suite in my house, this is the design I'd use.
The room was quiet enough. We're very particular about quiet. We were in Cripple Creek during the weekend so the hotel and casino were busy, but we heard no noise from the casino or from Bennett Avenue. We could feel a little bit of vibration in the floor, but it didn't affect our sleep.
Mid-City Grille was great. We visited three times and were happy with everything. All dishes were perfect and well-presented. The wait staff was friendly, fun, and professional, and service was prompt.
Century has really upped its game in the casino. We found some penny slots that paid off pretty well, actually. We're lightweight gamblers, but we don't like slot machines that never pay. Century made a little money from us, but we had a lot of fun for two days. We also liked the mechanical roulette game.
Check-in was perfect. We got into our room early. If you'd like to check in early, be sure to call to see if your room is ready. They found someone to help cart our luggage to our room. Staff was friendly and efficient. One thing I noticed and really liked is that staffers seem to take over in several different capacities. So, you'll see people who might be security helping serve drinks in the casino and management helping with various issues. Plus, all the staffers seemed to like each other.
Here's the bottom line:
Casino +
Drink service in casino +
Hotel desk staff ++
The maintenance man who helped us with luggage +++
Hotel room +++
Food at Mid Century Grill +
Restaurant wait staff ++
