I read the glowing reviews of the Oxford on this web site and was skeptical. As with many restored hotels I was expecting poorly patched plaster and some period threadbare carpeting. However, the reviews were correct. It has obviously had tons of money poured into its restoration to return it to its former grandeur. Everything was immaculate and the staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. My wife and I booked the cheapest room, and we were surprised to find that it was certainly four-star quality. Its dimensions were about 20x20, with beautiful period-replica furnishings, a large flat-panel TV, beautiful bed linens and a very comfortable pillow-top mattress. As for location, it is right in the heart of historic downtown Denver, and there were multitudes of restaurant choices within a block or two. We had Italian for dinner at Il Fornaio (I had excellent rabbit), American for breakfast and Cuban for lunch at the Rumba Room, all within walking distance.
We experienced a few downsides to the hotel. First and foremost, there is a $21 charge for parking. Ouch! Second, it took about five minutes for the bathroom water to go from quite warm to hot. Third, a few spots in our bathroom had poor workmanship on the restoration; just cosmetics. Finally, each room lacks Internet access, with only one public computer on the second floor with Internet access.
That said, I would highly recommend it, and I would certainly stay there again.

We stayed here over Christmas 2004 and had a wonderful time. Our room was huge and the hotel staff so friendly. Great period furniture throughout the hotel, cushy beds, and large bath tub. Close to everything (Larimer Sq., 16th St. mall, great restaurants, and the wonderful Tattered Cover Bookstore.) The hotel offered a special holiday rate that made our stay not just delightful, but a bargain as well. I never wanted to leave.

I thought that this place was ok but nothing great. It has lots of character. Room was fairly large but in desperate need of updating;especially the bathroom. Bed was very comfortable. My biggest complaint was the noise factor from both inside and out. I was in an exterior room on the second floor so there was lots of traffic noise. I also wasn't that happy about hearing the room above me being vacuumed at 8 am. The staff was great - very friendly and helpful.

Overall - I would try somewhere else next time.

The service was very disappointing for the Romance package.

We stayed at the Oxford in September, 2004 for a special weekend getaway for our anniversary. We paid full price for the "Romance Package" which was supposed to include champaigne and a rose petal turndown service each night, and valet parking. The first night was lovely, with champaigne on ice, rose petals leading the way to the elegant bed. After that , everything declined. In the morning there was no coffee in the hall. Three calls over a 45 minute period did not produce results. That evening there was no champaigne and no rose petals. We relayed this to the front desk on our way out to dinner. Two hours later, still no service. Finally, champaigne was delivered at 1 AM after we were already in bed! Management offered breakfast service to make ammends, which we accepted. The food was delivered cold, with no condiments and cold coffee. How romantic! The voucher provided did not fully cover the cost of breakfast. The hotel front desk staff was rude and arrogant. They seemed incapable/unwilling to provide the service we paid for, even though our requests were courteous and reasonable. Other than the service and staff, the hotel was in a great location in historic Denver with turn-of-the-century charm. But, keep your expectations low.

We loved the Oxford! It is very romantic and unique. The furnishings in the room were beautiful. There was no bathtub so I would ask if there are rooms with bathtubs available if this is a concern. The shower was very unusual and neat. We were delighted with everthing...this hotel has so much character!
