What an absolutely fantastic time we had staying at the Magnolia. Great location, price and friendly staff made our stay in Denver highly enjoyable.
As typical of a down-town hotel, the room was not large, but was comfortable. The bathroom was large, and clean. Downstairs, the staff were friendly to a fault. The hotel offers a cheap happy hour in their own lounge, or you can pay a dollar more and spend all night drinking at the hotel's bar called Harry's. My favorite was the free milk and cookies offered between 8-10pm. It was plesant to sit downstairs watching the big screen TV after an exhausting day, having a cookie eating contest with my girlfriend.
The hotel is conveniently located. Around the corner is the light rail that can take you to Six Flags, if that's your thing. Also around the corner is the 16th Street Mall. A movie theater is not too far away. LoDo, Larimer Square and most of the downtown attractions are located nearby and are within walking distance.
Hint: If you are flying. Take the mall bus down to Market Street station and catch the AF bus to DIA. It costs $8, runs every 25minutes past the hour and takes about 30-40 minutes to get to the airport. It may take a little longer than a taxi or a share-a-ride, but works out a lot cheaper.
Hint2: Just a little further south of the Market Street station (past Union Station) is a river. Across the river is the largest REI I have ever encountered. Also in this area is the entrance to the Cherry Creek trail. The trail follows a river for several miles and is popular with the locals for biking, skating and walking.
