How this is written: we run the full set of recent Google reviews through AI to pull out what guests consistently say — including the complaints, which is why there's a downsides list rather than only the good bits. It's rewritten as new reviews come in, so it describes the hotel as it is now, not as it was whenever someone last got round to writing a paragraph about it. Read the reviews yourself on Google Maps.

Was put here overnight because of an airline operational meltdown. Very very clean functional rooms although they are rather small and they do not have microwave ovens in them. Not a bad place at all, convenience store in several restaurants within half a mile walking distance.....but the rooms were rather like a really small Days Inn or Microtel room. functional but lower tier chains like Baymont and Comfort Inn tend to have substantially larger rooms. Still, though, for DIA - the location was good because it is one of the closest hotels to the airport

I practically never leave reviews, but I was so impressed with Avid at the Denver Airport that I needed to give them a review. The hotel was pristine - the lobby area, the room, and the bathroom. It felt new, the beds and pillows were very comfortable, and the linens clean. Instead of questionable, grimy carpet, the room actually had a hard floor that felt so much cleaner. There is a great selection in the lobby of complimentary tea, coffee (freshly ground), and hot chocolate. Cups, plates, bowls, and plastic cutlery are available as well as a microwave. We left too early for breakfast, but the hotel did have fruit and muffins available for early departures. The shuttle is complimentary and runs every 30 minutes. I rarely feel able to properly relax in a hotel room, but this one was so clean, I felt very comfortable and relaxed.

Depends on what your needs are. Rooms are great, hotel is clean and modern, decent night's sleep for an airport hotel. We always leave too early for breakfast, so can't comment on that. If you're staying here for an airport shuttle, which many people who stay at airport hotels are, this is not a great choice. Checked into the hotel, dropped off rental car, and called the hotel for shuttle as front desk suggested. Then waited at the airport for shuttle back to hotel - for ONE HOUR. Two other hotel drivers came over to clarify who I was waiting for; after 35 minutes I called again and was told driver is getting gas, and traffic is bad, will be there soon. Yet every other Tower Rd hotel had circled around at least twice so how bad was traffic? At one hour a Hilton shuttle stopped and said "Avid? Come come with me." When I finally got back and asked the front desk about what was going on (never been dropped off at IHG property by Hilton shuttle), they said they "hate it when they're put in this situation". Leads me to believe mine was not a one-off experience. If you're parking your own car - note that the daily rate is $12, not $10 as noted on their website. Next time we'll just look for the best hotel rate with good reviews, and take an Uber instead of being IHG loyal.

It’s a very clean hotel and the rooms are simple. The bathroom is very spacious compared to any other hotel and the water push is AMAZING! There’s still an alarm clock and tons of space to put your stuff. The tv is one of the biggest ones that I have seen in a hotel and your phone can hook right up to it! The front desk workers were exceptionally nice and even let me check in and hour early! Love this Hotel! I forgot to add, but what set this place apart from other hotels is the curtain is a full pull down covering that doesn’t let any sunlight in unlike other hotels that always have gaps everywhere! It is probably the best feature only barely beating out the amazing water pressure in the shower!
