Three friends and I stayed at the Curtis for 2 nights in early August and had an excellent experience. We were initially looking at hotels on the periphery of downtown to stay within our budget, but we ended up scoring a room at the Curtis during a special online sale. Because we were not renting a car, we were very happy to end up just a couple blocks from the 16th Street Mall!

The Curtis is modern and well kept. The lobby area and rooms have amenities one would expect from an urban hotel, but since this is not a large national chain, everything had a distinctive touch. The front desk staff were very courteous and helpful, as was the concierge. The only issue we had during our stay was a missing ice bucket, which was promptly dropped off at our door after I called the front desk.

We stayed on the very fittingly themed Mad About Music floor. The Curtis doesn't go overboard with the decorations, and the theme does not carry over much to the room itself. The beds are comfy, the flat-screen TV was perfect for our Olympics viewing, the view out the window is excellent, and I enjoyed taking a shower in an actual shower (rather than a tub) for a change.

The business center offers free printing for boarding passes, and there is free wi-fi for folks with laptops. (Many chain hotels of this caliber charge for the wi-fi, oddly enough.) The front desk also has board games available, so we played Yahtzee one of the nights. (How my friends had never played it before is beyond me...)

Overall, I recommend the Curtis. Its approach to lodging satisfies many different kinds of travelers. I do wish that the hotel had a hot tub, but according to signage on the premises, one is under construction and should be open by the end of the year. Wonderful!

I stayed at the hotel during the Democratic Convention. Considering they were completely full, they handled it fairly well. The pictures online are a very accurate representation of what the rooms look like. Beds were very comfy, with a sheet and a wonderful comforter (a little toasty if you don't keep the a/c on). Didn't have a tub, which was a little disappointing, but otherwise it was a perfectly good room. Location could not be better or more central. Plenty of parking in a garage attached to the hotel. I highly recommend it.

We stayed at The Curtis for our first trip to Denver. It has a great location in downtown, just 2 blocks from the *free* 16th Street tram and in the theater district. Each floor of The Curtis has a fun, different theme ... we stayed on the "T.V. Mania" floor, which was fun. We checked out several of the other floors as well, and they were all amusing and original. There was a framed picture of Johnny Carson on the desk in our room .... loved that!

The beds were elegant and very comfortable. The bathroom, while not large, was beautiful with a granite counter and all-glass shower enclosure. A small statue of Dudley Dooright was above the toilet. The toiletries were a fresh citrus-based line. The staff always had a smile on their faces and exemplified the hotel's "Stay Happy" motto. When my son and I were running out the door because we were going to be late in getting to our appointment at the U.S. Mint, one of the staff quickly offered a complimentary shuttle which whisked us there in no time flat.

All in all, The Curtis was a great deal and a very pleasant stay. We would definitely stay there again.

It was a last minute plan to stay at this hotel. We were going to stay with a friend but decided we wanted something in downtown. It was great that we got this hotel. The rooms are clean and the staff is friendly. Each floor has its own individual theme. I think we had more fun going to each floor and looking around than we did with our whole stay in Denver. It is a little pricey, but it is a fun place to stay.

This was a very nice hotel with all kinds of unique, special touches. The beds were incredibly comfy, the shower was excellent, the details all very upscale. (Granite countertops, flat screen TV.) And the location is fantastic. We stayed for two nights and didn't need a rent a car since we were a very short walking distance from everything worth seeing! The staff is friendly. Two complaints: thin walls (bring ear plugs if you're a light sleeper) and the gym wasn't available while we were there. So if you want a place with a gym, call before you book to make sure you can workout.
