just back from Denver. The Radisson is under renovations at the moment - so the best floors are the top six ( blue floors). Every room has a balcony (no chairs in it) and a view. The rooms were spacious and adequate, the bed had a remote control which regulated the firmness of the mattress - which I personally thought was pointless - but I'm sure some people will appreciate it.
The Hotel has a pool and fitness center which was quite good.
The service in the restaurant was good - but there was no concierge and the staff at the front desk weren't very helpful when it came to recommending what to see in Denver.
There is a shuttle bus to and from the airport, but none to the City.
So it's roughly a $20 taxi ride.

I stayed for 10 nights on a business trip from the UK and would not have stayed out of choice. The desk staff seemed pre-occupied and always on the phone. The hotel lobby was dull and uninspiring. The rooms were small and dated with basic amenities and a dribbly 70's shower. My colleague complained 4 days in a row that his room had not been closed properly by cleaning staff each day meaning anyone could get in and help themselves to his computer equipment and personal belongings. This was dealt with every day by reception staff stating the manager was not available to speak to him. Upon checkout, the manager dealt with his complaint by stating this was no big deal as nothing had been stolen and aggravating the situation by not taking the complaint seriously. My colleague was incensed by the way his complaint was handled and did not back down. Eventually the duty manager put an end to the conversation by calling security to remove us from the hotel. The only saving grace were the breakfast staff always ready with a smile and could not do enough to please. It's these guys that earned the 1 star that this hotel merits

Nice hotel -- but customer service indifferent - gym equipment not functioning properly - balcony on room was dirty - and it was very expensive!
Only as a last resort

I definitely wouldn't recommend the Radisson Stapleton if you're heading to Denver -- either on play or business. My stay for business has been very disappointing.

The location leaves a lot to be desired. The hotel looks onto neglected housing for several blocks to the back, complete with half-decomposed sofa in the street. Depressing view. Fronting onto a busy four lane main road, the front rooms are guaranteed to be very loud. The shopping centre just down the street is really just an enormous car park solely boasting a Wallmart, Pet shop, super cheap clothing store, tire place and low quality restaurants (McDonalds and a dodgy looking Chinese place) amongst other a few other pretty depressing tacky megastores. There is another very small street with stores a couple of blocks in the other direction (29th), with a cafe, restaurant & a bagel shop,. Much better than the Walmart end, but it's not all that inspiring. It is your best bet, though, if staying.

The hotel itself is very disappointing. My room was very dirty the first night I arrived, complete with cleaning rags still left around the room by the cleaning service. Phone didn't work and lightbulbs needed changing. My colleague was in a similar situation -- no cleaning rags, fortunately, but room dirty and in disrepair with a broken shower. Unfortunately my air conditioning doesn't work, pumping warm air into the room. My colleagues does, however she can't turn it down and the room is lke a freezer. For both rooms to be so poorly, my guess is that many if not all other rooms in the hotel will have similar problems and be of a similar quality. And the air conditioning is really loud, if you're sensitive to noise. I'm not, but even I had to turn mine off (not that there was much point having it on).

If the hotel reads this, go do something about rooms 901 and room 926.

The service from front desk staff is disappointing. Dead loss if you need any advice (which, unfortunately, I did). Dead loss if you's like a working phone. Keep your expectations well below average, and you'll be fine.

The Radisson has really let itself down with the Stapleton.

My advice, look for an alternative hotel closer to the centre. Or there's a double tree next door -- I don't know what the reviews on that one are like, but I'm not sure it could be much worse than the Radisson if you don't care about location.
