Whew. The night before we stayed at the Super 8 in Brighton which was a total nightmare. We had never stayed at a La Quinta before and we were skeptical when we heard the price was only $80 so we aksed to see a room. Could not beleive it. Room was super clean, newly renovated. Seemed to good to be true but wasnt. In fact, we were so impressed we stayed an exra 2 nights here. Amazing sleeps. Loved the washroom. We were down buying cars from Canada and they let us park 2 of them in the hotel parking lot for 48 hours no problem. Felt safe. Loved the central location. If I go back to Denver I am staying here again.

I signed up on Trip Advisor just to post this feedback on La Quinta Inn Denver Central.

I got the worse two sleeps of my travel life in early September at the La Quinta Inn Denver Central. First off this place is not a hotel, it is a motel. I booked my reservation using the 1-800 number and was treated very well by the CSR. I ended up booking a room with two double beds and asked if they have cots. They stated that they do and it will be on my reservation for an additional cost of $10 per night. When I arrived at the motel, the front desk clerk told me it is against their policy to have a cot in the bedroom due to fire code. Lesson learned, next time I will call and confirm the cot situation. However, we did spend most of the day looking for an air mattress. Note to all who are looking for cots in a room, go to Wal-Mart. The air mattresses there are only $10 + $12 for the pump + $5 for D batteries, still cheaper than a cot at $10 per day for 3 nights.

The room was clean but outdated, but for $119 per night, not a bad deal. The condition of the room was not a big deal since the intent of the weekend was a sports weekend with friends. Coors field is only a 15 minute walk up the street from La Quinta Inn. However you will need a car if you stay here, but one good thing is the I25 is seconds away. The continental breakfast is supplied which is nice if you’re on a fixed budget or if you want to just grab and go. Not much nearby, except for small plaza that has a pub, liquor store, Quiznos, Dominos and Starbucks. There is a service station next door with a McDonalds in it. I would avoid the service station late at night thought, since it attracts shady people.

I have read other posts about the location of this hotel, and knew the freeway wouldn’t be an issue since you can barely hear it, and it’s true from the room location where we were in. However, the train yard is next door and there is nothing like hearing squeaky breaks at 4 AM, followed by a collision of rail cars connecting to each other.

The other noise came from other travelers coming back hammered from the local pub across the street. Nothing like yelling to your buddy at 2 AM by the pool because you forgot to pick up beer. Well they got their beer and the partying continued to about 4AM on the third level of the motel. I imagine this happens in other motels, so it’s not a slam against the La Quinta Inn, but keep in mind you don’t get this behavior at the Hyatt Regency. The final night I had a decent sleep… since I rolled up some tissue paper and placed it in my ears. Note to self, always pack ear plugs.

My advice to you on the La Quinta Inn is, if you are in Denver on business; have small children; or you’re a light sleeper, stay away from this motel and spend the extra $60 and stay in a 3 star hotel. If you are a bunch of young guys there on a weekend of tearing up the town and checking out the sporting events, this place is for you! The money you save on a real hotel can be used for your seat upgrade on Broncos’ tickets.

We stayed here for two nights at the end of our recent vacation. We loved the hotel!! It was probably the nicest of the chain hotels that we had on our 3 week holiday. The room was very spacious and the bathroom was wonderful. Everything was comfortable and spotlessly clean. The breakfast room was the largest we had encountered on our travels and the food selection was slightly above average. The only complaint was that they receive their eggs only on Wed, so by the time we arrived on Sunday, they were out of them until the next shipment. We enjoyed the pool which was clean and largely unoccupied by guests. The location of this hotel is terrific. It is right beside two major highways, so it was easy to get into and out of town. But we never heard any highway noise. Yes, we did hear some train shunting going on in the yard next door, but it was not loud and didn't bother us at all. We went downtown one day on the city bus which has a stop right next door to the hotel. We were downtown in about 10 minutes. We would definitely stay at this hotel again on our next stay in Denver. It exceeded our expectations!!

This is a nice hotel that's very clean. The location is great if you have a car. It's right across the bridge from Coors Field, on which we based the location when booking. Also, it's very close to the highway, which made it easy to get to the airport and nearby town of Golden for the Coors factory tour. Finally, the Internet access was very reliable, and when we needed to add an extra night to our stay at the last minute, it was no problem. Visitors should be aware that as of June 2008, they were painting the outdoor parts of the hotel, so if tape and drop cloths bother your asthetic, don't come here. Only thing that was disappointing was the breakfast.
