I LOVED the Aveda bath products. The bed and pillows were EXREMELY comfortable (very rate at hotels). I loved the layout out, color etc. of the room. My best part of the stay was meeting my favorite staff member of the hotel, Lily, the Jack Russell Dog that greets you in the lobby.

Rooms are very small. The valet service is slow and unresponsive. Parking is a headache. The staff trys so hard to be "cool" that they are just plain annoying. The bed is comfortable but so are the beds in a lot of other hotels that are less money and have more services. The Monaco in Seattle is fun. This one is just old, cramped and the atmosphere is less than friendly.

Make sure you order a double, otherwise room will be extremely small. I ordered a double & was checked into a very small king until they found a clean empty double. Also, I've never seen a hotel w/ more dogs. I was here on a business trip, if I had it to do over I would have stayed at Embassy Suites.

Our stay at the Denver Hotel Monaco in May 2004 was a perfect capstone to the most wonderful day of our lives.

We departed for a Parisian honeymoon two days after the wedding and thus debated about whether we should further splurge on a wedding night hotel. We are so glad we did! Our reception was at the Brown Palace, but we decided to stay at the Hotel Monaco when I found a $99 rate online.

When we arrived at the Monaco dressed in our wedding finery, the desk staff warmly congratulated us and upgraded our standard room to the "Grace Slick" suite. It was well appointed and luxurious in a quirky and colorful way. The suite was huge with great high ceilings and tall windows. We loved unwinding with champagne and Aveda products in our jacuzzi tub - tres romantique! We also got a kick out of the pet goldfish that was brought to our room.

We were married the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend, so we were able to get free street parking (I've read that the valet rate is a bit steep). Also, the hotel restaurant was closed for the holiday, so the Monaco put on a complimentary continental breakfast spread Monday morning. These fortuitous aspects of our stay helped to make it a great bargain and lovely experience! We are looking forward to returning on our anniversary.
