My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights for our first anniversary - kind of a big deal - and I was very disappointed. We are seasoned B&B-goers, so I have experience on which to base my review. It's 2 blocks away from 2 homeless shelters. Yes, close to LoDo, but who would dare walk in that neighborhood? We were shown around when we arrived, but that was the only time in 3 days that we saw our host. This place is just a fancy hotel with breakfast - not a true B&B experience. They advertise "gourmet" breakfast on their website. We got scrambled eggs with toast and fruit, and one day we got waffles with fruit. I could make this at home. One of the reasons I love B&B's is the gourmet breakfasts, like quiche, fritattas, stuffed pancakes, etc. I would have preferred to have paid less for a hotel room and gone out for breakfast. But for nearly $200/night I sucked it up and ate what I was served. We stayed on the 2nd floor in Michael's Room the first night and moved to Owen's Room on the 1st for the remainder. Owen's Room was definitely better in terms of layout. The chef, Todd, was the only staff around to recommend sights and to answer questions and we liked him a lot, but he hasn't experienced most of what the area has to offer. When hosting people from out of town, it is essential to be knowledgeable. Maybe the owner is knowledgeable, but I wouldn't know - he couldn't be bothered to make an appearance. Is this ranked #1 because it really is the best Denver has to offer?
