I liked this hotel and felt it was good value for money. I booked a suite for a three days at a rate of $160 per night.
Check in was quick and very courteous. The suite was big - great sized sitting room with sofa, armchair and ottoman, walk in wardrobe and huge balcony. Bedroom was smaller, but good bed (sheets and blankets, no duvets) and the most brilliant air-con - the rooms chilled down within 5 minutes and even in October the outside temperature was in the 80's. I do agree with other reviewers that the property is dated and could do with a revamp. A colleague of mine found her room to be very dusty and asked housekeeping to come in and clean again, which they did very promptly.
The hotel is very central - it's a 10 minute walk to 16th street and to the capitol building - 20 minutes from the cultural centre and the amazing Lieberskind modern art gallery. Denver is a pleasant city to walk around and it does surpise me that other reviewers thought the hotel was not central. Yes, there are more central places, such as the Marriott and both Hyatts, but I liked being slightly out of downtown. There is a mini-mart just around the corner and a good coffee shop on the next block.
The concierge drove us around Denver centre in the hotel's complimentary 4x4 - this was a really great service and he came to collect us to go back to the hotel within 10 minutes of calling - brilliant!
Room service was quick and very good - great Ruebens sandwich. Randolphs restaurant was really good quality but they were stretched during the breakfast service as the hotel was full for the world series, and service was slow. Understandable, but irritating.
Being able to smoke on the balcony was a real plus especially in Denver, which is entirely non-smoking.
Hotel has complimentary HBO and the wireless internet is only $10 a day. But why oh why do hotels charge for this at all? In 2007, an internet connection is as essential as a shower and I would REALLY resent having to pay $10 per day for that!!!
A good hotel, well run and value for money - although I am from the UK and the £ is very strong right now so the USA generally is a very good deal!
I would stay here again.
