Denver City Council goes all in for All Inn Motel project on Colfax.

The All Inn has a storied legacy on East Colfax Avenue. Opened in 1959 as the Fountain Inn Motel, it capitalized on Americans road-tripping across the country at a time when Colfax was a main thoroughfare for travelers crossing the country. And the Fountain Inn drew locals, too, with the Gold Room, a restaurant where patrons could get lobster fresh from the “frozen fjords of Iceland” as well as prime Colorado beef, all while sitting next to a wall paneled in 14-karat gold.
In the late ’90s, Jong Min Kim, a Korean immigrant, bought what was then the Executive Inn; he renamed it the All Inn. The Kim family owned and ran the motel until it became swamped by debt, which led to the property going into foreclosure. The family was saved as motel operators in 2005, when Jesse Morreale, a Denver restaurateur and music promoter, purchased the All Inn. He retained the Kim family as managers of the motel.
"I visited this motel and would go by it a lot, and also went to the associated Rockbar years ago when the bar was still open. It was interesting, even back then," CouncilmanBut Rockbar closed in 2012, when the City of Denver denied an application to renew its liquor and cabaret licenses in the wake of neighbor complaints.
