John,
My wife and I have stayed at the Bronco Billy's hotel a few times in Cripple Creek. Classic (old) hotel with period furnishings.
Its rooms are not above the casino but only a short walk away. The rooms were clean and the parking was very convenient to the 2nd floor rooms. This hotel only has about 12-14 rooms and afforded a quiet sleep. Somewhere around $70ish for midweek bookings.
Hope this helps.
