Good value, but tired hotel in need of updating
I booked last minute for the ASTD conference in Denver, and this was the only hotel available with a rate within my company limits, so although it was 7 miles from downtown, it did the trick. It is in an odd location, although to their credit, my cab drivers knew where it was - have the address handy, though. I'm not a fan of first-floor rooms that open direct to the outside via a porch, even if on the interior of the hotel, so if that is uncomfortable for you, ask for a different room. The hotel itself was fine - I had no problems, and it had all the standard amenities of a Courtyard. While clean, it was clear how tired the hotel was - it has yet to be updated with the new Courtyard lobby or in-room furniture. The in-room couch was very worn with very thin cushions; the lobby furniture was in a similar condition. The franchisee/operator for this hotel should invest to bring the hotel up to the brand standard that has been set across most other Courtyards. Again, while everything in the hotel functioned fine and I had no problems, it is disappointing when Courtyard has been advertising for 2+ years that they've updated their hotels and you happen upon one that hasn't (although, that might explain the cheaper rate and availability on short notice!).
