Big Rooms, good family choice
Paid 140.00 per night per room, not bad for a downtown upscale room. This property has been on the back burner for updates, but is still quite serviceable. Standard rooms are among the largest in the Downtown area, and by booking 2 adjoining rooms, we had plenty of room to spread out with the kids. Very nice queen beds, bathrooms nice as well. We stayed here specifically to have access to the downtown CBD, and everything was within an easy walk; if you plan to stay within city limits, Denver's excellent transit system makes a car unnecessary. After an initial day trip to Rocky Mtn National Park, I turned in the rental to Avis right down the street (booked with them precisely because they are a block away from the hotel), and we did up the town for a few days, taking a van shuttle to the airport at trip's end. Having to pay a premium for secure valet parking made the decision for me. The bell staff was truly excellent and welcoming, the front desk was somewhat understaffed at times but friendly. Restaurant nothing special and too expensive, not unexpectedly, but there are of course myriad choices for any meal within an easy walk or transit ride. Good family hotel with indoor pool for the kids, secure card-activated elevators, and friendly staff. Very satisfying.
