Built in 1891 as a hotel, I couldn't get over all the history of this hotel!
If these walls could talk! The Oxford Hotel in lower downtown (LoDo)Denver is a jewel. It is historic and lends a historic feel in the lobby and restaurant/bar. The rooms are modernized. We stayed in an art deco room in the interior (no view) of the hotel and while the room was small, it was cleverly designed to feel spacious. The location can't be beat since the renovation of this formerly trashy neighborhood. It's within walking distance of Coors field and the fun bars/microbrews that surround it. We also had no trouble navigating the 16th Street Mall on foot although there is a hop on hop off shuttle that runs the length of 16th St . Note: If you have a car, and it's baseball season, it's best to use the hotel's valet service at $21 a day.

We stayed in one of the corner rooms, #410, on 8/30 (our anniversary) which was fine as far as quietness and size of the room were concerned. The staff were friendly but didn't put much effort in to solving 2 problems: 1) on check-in, no keys for our room could be found and we were offered a drink coupon for the bar while new ones were made. The offer for a drink quickly vanished and we were let into our room by the manager, using her key. We waited more than an hour for keys, which was becoming critical timewise as we had dinner and show plans and needed to get in and out of the room at various times. The initial offer of a drink would have helped my anger alot at this point. Don't offer something and then not deliver, especially when a problem is being dealt with.
The second, larger problem was our floor, near the tv and the entryway, was strewn with dog food. Perhaps the housekeeper didn't see it as it did blend into the carpet. What it indicated to me was that vacuuming between guests doesn't always occur. When housekeeping did come to clean up the kibble, it was scooped up by hand...still no effort to run the vacuum.
The hotel is vintage and we enjoyed the relative peace and the location in Lodo, but the service, especially by the manager was less than professional and we don't intend to stay at the Oxford again.
Highlight...McCormick's Fish House ( first floor). The food and service were unbeatable. They just need some comfortable seating to make it perfect.

What a fabulous hotel in a great location! I can't say enough, the rooms, service, and food were fabulous!

We recently stayed a night at the Oxford during the 4th of July holiday. I am so thankful we chose the Oxford Hotel as our one night away from the family. It is an excellent hotel with lots of charm. It is an older building with much of its older appeal still there so don't go expecting a modern, hip hotel. From the moment we valet parked the car until we checked out the staff couldn't have been more friendly or helpful. We had a deluxe Victorian room which was spacious and clean with a large bathroom. The bed was very comfortable and we were never bothered by noise. The Cruise Room is one of the best bars I have ever had the privilege of drinking at. It is decorated like a lounge from the Queen Mary and hasn't been changed since 1933. Excellent music and drink menu. McCormicks Fish House is a wonderful place to eat too. Wait staff was very friendly and the food was sensational. This hotel has a great location near some other wonderful restaurants, bars and shops. Also close to the ball park if you are coming for a Rockies game. I can't say enough good things about this hotel. Nothing negative at all about our stay and I will definitely go back.
