Disappointing Room Location

We stayed in 107. Room was depressing with harsh main light and no window with a view. No natural light. Had to keep curtains drawn because we were next to entrance to hotel. I had requested an upper floor when I booked the room online.

Good hotel, convenient location

Very nice location with walking convenience to downtown Denver. Bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was good. Plenty of parking. Hotel was completely filled during our stay. Did not want to use AC as it got room too cold. Se we just kept it off.

The staff was great, but the hotel was extremely dated. Had it not been for the service I probably wouldn't have stayed. Also the price for the type of room wasn't worth it. Stay somewhere else.

Good! (Mostly)

Hotel is conveniently located near the railroad station. The room was clean and accessible although some maintenance was lacking. Breakfast with powdered eggs makes me want to rate this hotel as closer to average.
