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.

Paid almost $30 for avocado toast that I had to ask to put in a container and avocado tasted like it was from Walmart, and a warm smoothie.

Normally dont leave reviews but the food was just so terrible. Ordered the chicken pesto, the “chicken” pieces were disgustingly fatty and didnt even taste like chicken. I took a couple of bites before noticing something was off and after picking all the chicken out I realized why. Does this look like chicken to anyone else???? I wouldnt feed this to anyone, let alone SELL it. Awful. I tried to salvage the sandwich by eating it without chicken but at that point I had gotten nauseous and had to throw it away. Im not sure how theyre even open. Really a stain on the cherry creek mall reputation. *** those white pieces in the picture are not cheese, that is the FATTY “chicken”

Got a 12 oz smoothie for $10. Outrageously priced. Doesn’t taste good. Prepackaged frozen berries that they just add some packaged juice to and a bunch of ice/agave. Terrible. The two teens working there also seemed miserable.

Food is way overpriced for the quality. Ordered a grilled cheese and payed almost $5 extra for chicken. Chicken was unseasoned and gross. How is it possible that the chicken is cold in a grilled cheese?? Payed almost $20 for it. Couldn’t even finish half of it and had to throw it away.
